Late last summer I discovered a farmer’s market that is along my route home from work. Sometimes I would even stop by before heading home even if I didn’t need anything just to see the bounty of the local harvest first hand. It actually became pretty therapeutic and a great way to unwind after the [...]

I’m sitting in the backyard letting Sophie get some much needed fresh air. My neighbor has an older dog named Peppy that is nearly 1/3 her size. He’s old and clearly set in his ways, while Sophie still has the energy of a young puppy. Sophie almost never barks but constantly communicates through her tiny [...]

“Easy” has become one of my most favorite four letter words these days. But, easy doesn’t have to mean boring, mundane or ordinary. In this case, it’s unique and packed with flavor. I was actually inspired to experiment with bulgur wheat when a coworker was using his French press coffee maker to cook the tiny [...]

The other day I was reviewing my calendar when I realized November was just around the corner. Which means I become a baking machine to test new recipe ideas in time for the fast approaching holiday season. My goal this year is to come up with even more original recipes that not only satisfy the [...]

The radiant glow of the moon bounced across the cloud studded sky as I exited the theater Saturday evening. Clearly fall has made its graceful entrance with a crisp chill in the air. This is the time of the year when I crave the warmth of cinnamon and nutmeg. A flip of the ignition and [...]

Grilled Summer Vegetable & Chicken Kabobs

I could hear my dress shoes tap along the pavement as I bounced between the booths piled high with fresh picked vegetables. Every Monday, I stop by my local farmers market after work to take advantage of the season’s best flavors for my week of meals. The market was full of all of its bounty [...]

This was the side dish for my Impromptu Dinner Party. Having grown up with an acre sized garden in northern Michigan, I am no stranger to garden fresh vegetables with every meal.  There were many fond childhood memories with that garden.  I still shutter at the thought of biting into a freshly plucked jalapeno pepper [...]

This was the entrée for my Impromptu Dinner Party. The sun awakens from a restful slumber and shines its golden rays of light through the herbs growing in my kitchen window.  About a month ago, Brent’s mom gave me basil and a parsley plant because she felt our kitchen needed to be filled with some [...]

After returning home from a wonderful trip in Toronto, the last thing I wanted to do was eat in yet another restaurant.  I craved a home cooked meal and the comfort of relaxing in the backyard, without the annoyance of servers asking us if we were American based on what we ordered.  While trying to [...]

When someone offers me a sample of cheese, I perk up and take notice.  So when the folks at Ile De France Cheese asked me if I was interested in trying a sample of their delicious goat cheese, I couldn’t resist the offer. This was the perfect opportunity to feature one of my most favorite [...]
