Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Welcome back to another weekly menu plan! This week isn’t quite as hectic as last week was so I’ve added in one of my favorites – Chicken Lasagna. It’s a little more labor intensive than most of the recipes I make on a weekly basis but it’s a fun change from the usual. Chicken lasagna […]
I’ve been making this recipe for over 25 years now and for good reason. This Chicken Lasagna recipe is positively scrumptious! I like the change from the typical Italian food with red meat and tomato-based sauces. Instead, this one has chicken, spinach, and a delicious white sauce in it. Don’t let the long list of […]
Welcome back to another weekly meal plan! I have had several readers asking why I bother to make weekly menu plans and it really boils down to 3 key reasons. Saving money. Saving time. And saving aggravation. By planning ahead, I am able to take advantage of sales at the local grocery stores. We tend […]
This is my first full week back to work after the holidays. I did actually do some work during the break but I kept it to the bare minimum and really allowed myself some down time. It. Was. Glorious! Don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I love the writing and the creativity and […]
A new year is about to begin. How will you be ringing it in? It’s going to be fairly chill for us. My family is headed to their friend’s house in the early evening but they’ll be back before midnight. Of course, with a toddler who doesn’t always sleep very well, my guess is that […]
Recently, I shared my recipe for French Canadian Tourtiere (meat pie). It’s delicious and savory comfort food with flavors that are reminiscent of fall and winter. It’s the kind of dish that makes you feel cozy all over. Since then, I’ve had some readers asking about the “red stuff” in the dish beside the Tourtiere. […]
Are you a Star Wars fan? We sure are in my family – well, at least most of us are. I still remember lining up to see the very first movie when it was released in theaters. And then, going back to see it again and again with all of my friends. It was showing […]
True confession time: I am not much of a soup fan. Oh, a scrumptious French onion soup, all cheesy and gooey, is a nice starter course now and then. If we’re having grilled cheese, I love to have a small bowl of cream of tomato soup with it. It’s simply ideal for dunking! But, I […]
Inspired by one of my favorite blogs Brocante Home (who was in turn inspired by a feature in Harper’s Bazaar written by Diana Vreeland), Why Don’t You is a week’s worth of ideas for adding a little something special to your life. Simple ideas for lovely days! Pick and choose what sparks your interest and fits into your schedule. […]
Wooohoooo! The polar vortex seems to have come to an end and temperatures are rising. Okay, so it’s just barely over zero but considering it was nearly -40 at one point in the past week, I’ll take it! In other news, my little Moonpie seems to have decided that he’s going to make some big […]
