I think kitchens are for experimenting and restaurants are for food. My friend, Whitney Pannell had posted this lovely appetizer of fresh cherry tomatoes rolled in goat cheese and pistachios. Looked so amazing! I bought the ingredients. I had never used goat cheese and didn't even know where to … [Read more...]
We've all heard and experienced the joy of comfort foods. My favorite comfort food is a coke from McDonald's. I know - pitiful! And highly caloric. Comfort foods are rarely low cal and good for you.

It was a long busy day of running errands, cleaning the house, and working on transactions for my real estate business etc. It was 9:15 and I still had one contract I needed to send out before I finished working for the day; a fifteen page lease had to be written and sent for electronic signatures. … [Read more...]

Yea, you're going to be angry. Yea, you're going to feel … [Read more...]
I drove past his old apartment the other day and imagined him standing there waiting for me to pick him up to go somewhere. I sat on the love seat last night and was certain I saw him coming out of my closet. Driving down the road today, I thought I saw his car. As I lay in bed last week I … [Read more...]
I started a tradition in my house many years ago that I would use Mother's Day to spoil my kids. I wouldn't have to be the "mean mom" on one day a year.
