Seriously, what is up with these combinations this week!? So this morning I woke up and made frosting. I had a cup of coffee while I whipped up some cream cheese, butter, vanilla and confectioner sugar. I sampled the frosting and it was good. Then I frosted 16 cupcakes. I definitely want to open up…… Continue reading Cupcakes and Salmon
Happy Sunday everyone. I don’t know about you – but I am freezing, and I’m wearing a few layers. I am pretty much ready for winter to be over. 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…
… sort of. My facebook status says it all, “recovery is hard work.” It is not that much fun. But I guess I am making progress, yesterday I felt horrible and today I feel a bit better 🙂 Last night I ‘sort of’ made dinner. I love Annie’s Deluxe Mac & Cheese (the aged cheddar…… Continue reading I made dinner last night…
No one. But tonight was one of those nights where I felt like someone was coming to dinner because we had some good food. I was getting bored, being at home, so I decided to make a small-ish apple pie for dessert tonight. So, I do not have the mini tart pan that I really…… Continue reading Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner…
I never knew using left over vegetables could be so easy… For the last two days (Monday night’s dinner and today for lunch) I have been enjoying my left over vegetable stir fry, baked tofu and brown rice dish: This was a seriously good meal that I had just made on a whim. I honestly…… Continue reading What to do with left over vegetables…

The bananas and cantaloupe were very good and seasonal. I added the almonds for some protein and healthy fat 🙂 For lunch I had…… Continue reading Sunday
Ok, so the Patriots lost. But at least I had good soup to eat! The soup is garnished with freshly chopped parsley, freshly ground pepper, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. I had a piece of garlic artisan bread on the side. I had a chocolate chip coconut nutmeg cookie a little while later. 🙂
I have finally found a project that does not involve food. It took me a long time to come up with one! Last night I officially started my family’s digital archive. It’s quite a project: There are so many old photographs and documents that I will be scanning over the next several months. It is…… Continue reading Finally, A Project
Hi Bloggies: It has been a crazy couple of days around the house – but I am back! I did a lot of cooking over the last couple of days, which was great. I have also been doing a lot of reading – even better! After this post I am devoting myself to the Book…… Continue reading Banana Bread and Barefoot Contessa
Mark and I have been in our new place for almost a month 😀 You have probably noticed that I have not written too much. I have not cooked that much. One reason for this was we did not have a refrigerator. My friend let me borrow a mini-fridge, and it was a huge help.…… Continue reading Oh how I have missed salads…
