I read an article in this Sunday’s paper about a woman and her family who are going on a ‘spending diet’ for the month of February.

I think I might have lost the taste for oatmeal. How sad is that?? I’m going to try it again tomorrow to see if I can start liking it again. It is so good for you and it keeps you full for a really long time. Oats are sort of like a blank canvas and…… Continue reading oats…

However, tomorrow they are forecasting a high of 47 degrees – gosh, that is almost 50! I am excited. The Red Sox are in Spring training…… Continue reading Sunday Strawberry and Saturday Night Pesto…
…it is as simple as that. For lunch I wanted something warm and filling, so I decided on a sort of omelette with a lot of fresh vegetables. I diced up some onion, scallions, tomato, and tossed in some spinach. First I melted a little butter in a pan, added the onion and scallion and…… Continue reading Good Food Can Be Simple…
Happy Saturday, everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend so far. I have had a relaxing morning. My plumber was here most of the morning, and I have not been able to take a shower yet.
