So I thought I didn’t like dates. I was wrong. I am not sure why I thought I didn’t like dates because, actually, prior to partaking of today’s particular delicacy I don’t think I had ever eaten a date before. I just knew I wouldn’t like them. Well I was wrong. At least when it [...]
Guacamole
February 18, 2011 By 15 Comments
I have become a recent guacamole convert. You have probably already guessed but it is definitely a texture issue for me. With all my fajita experimenting lately I have tried out a few guacamole recipes too and have discovered that fresh guacamole is quite nice. It is also easy to make. The hardest part seems [...]
Firecracker Shrimp

Today’s recipe has been a frequent visitor at our house on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve for the last several years. It is delicious and it is also a total man pleaser. They love it! But so do the girls. It’s a bit spicy so if you like a little heat, you’ll love it. [...]

December 28, 2010 By 12 Comments
I hope you enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend with your family. We did and to be honest I am having a hard time getting back in a blogging routine after my little holiday break. It is fun having my house full again but it sure is distracting! But we must get ready for New Year’s. [...]

We attended our first holiday party last night (that wasn’t at our house) and I took one of my favorite holiday appetizers, Brown Sugar Brie. You could really make this appetizer anytime but I always seem to make it at the holidays. It [...]

Note: I’ll be back home from girl’s camp tomorrow. I am sure I will be glad to sleep in my own bed after a week on a bunk bed and a sleeping bag! I’m sure I’ll have some photos to share! My men love potato skins and so do my girls. In fact they have [...]
Ponachos

Are you wondering what Ponachos are? Well, so was I. A few weeks ago I was in Utah to see my boys and attend a conference. I also got to spend some time with my friend Carol. We met 20 years ago by chance. A chance meeting that came to be a huge blessing in [...]

I grew up with a father that watched very little sports, just the occasional golf tournament. I married a man who LOVES sports! In fact our first date was to a football game. Thanks to my husband, we have raised two boys that also LOVE sports! Having lived the last 27 years in Portland their [...]
Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus

This weekend I helped with a women’s meeting at church. We served refreshments after the meeting and I was in charge of the menu. I wanted a balance of sweet and savory treats and of course it had to look pretty. We went with a fall theme on the tables with pretty gold tablecloths. I [...]
