You know what sounds good right now - I mean really, really good?  A bowl of homemade guacamole and some really fresh, crunchy tortilla chips.  Ever since the Attack of the Infested Tomatoes started playing out, my obsession with salsa has understandably faded.  It’s been challenging to find ways to substitute what was always a frequently used staple in [...]

So long clunky, homely cereal boxes!  Where in the world has my mind been and why haven’t I gotten several of these babies by now?!?! 
My crew eats a lot of cereal, and everyone has different favorites, so there are always about 5 or 6 boxes at all times in our pantry.  The handsome Zevro GAT200 [...]

Two words that’ll put a smile on my face every time are Doughnuts and Coffee… or Coffee and Doughnuts…. I guess it depends on which is winning out at the time - my sweet tooth or my caffeine fixation. At the moment, I’m going to go with the sweet tooth. Of course that [...]

I’ve come across two new addictions this week I thought I’d share with you.
First of all, you know how much I love tea. You probably know that within the past few years I’ve fallen hard for Green Tea (…and I have no idea why I capitalized it - showing reverence, maybe?). Fortunately [...]

If my daughter Emily ever sees this picture, she’ll weep with joy. The girl LIVES for breakfast food(s) and French toast is a particular favorite. I’m going to go her one better than a picture, though, I’m going to make this beautiful work of art this weekend. The French Toast, fresh [...]

I’m a big cereal eater - except, unlike the normal people in the world, I don’t eat cereal for breakfast. It interferes with my whole “It’s just you and me against the world, Coffee” vibe. I eat cereal at the same time each night - somewhere between supper and bedtime. My [...]

The recipe, below, appeared in a magazine I wouldn’t dare miss an issue of, “Tea Time.” It’s can’t miss reading for tea addicts like me. Lots of great information about tea, different tea suppliers, and that sort of thing. But one of the things I love best are the recipes - they’re unlike recipes you’ll see anywhere else.
