Creativity is Not a Hobby; it's a Way of Life!
Updated for 2018 I just love Canada Day! Maybe it’s because my very first Canada Day was Canada’s 100th birthday and was spent at Expo ‘67. I tell you – that was one thrilling experience! Of course, I’ve loved every Canada Day since then too. I feel privileged to be able to call Canada […]
Happy Canada Day! Can you believe we are celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday this year? I still remember the celebrations for our centennial. (Yes, I’m that old!) We were living in Montreal and had a revolving door of house guests coming to take in Expo ’67. This year the family is getting together for a smaller […]

Summertime is one of my favourite times of the year. (Okay, I’ll be honest. I’m not a fan of winter but the other three seasons are pretty wonderful.) I love the blue skies, the sunshine, the slower pace of life. What I don’t love are sunburns. (Who does?) I’m much better about protecting myself from […]

Much of my family originated in Germany, settling in the highly German-populated area of Cincinnati, Ohio, and so many of our family favourite recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation are based on German recipes.
