I love Thanksgiving. It’s one of my favorite holidays with the focus being on family and food. On top of that, the weather and beautiful fall foliage, has me swooning. We always head back to my in-laws on Sunday for a big family feast, but I also host a family dinner here on Monday which …
So today is the first day of fall, but our weather this week has been pretty summer-like, with warm temperatures and unending humidity. I feel like my kitchen is still in summer mode, but Sunday Dinners and more comfort type foods are starting to creep back in. One day I’m firing up the barbecue and …
OK…we’re 2 days into back-to-school and I already feel the need to get uber-organized. Hockey has already started, and there will soon be soccer try-outs and early morning band practices, games, dances, work…all those good things that make our lives full and fun. Depending on the week and the activity, sometimes supper is eaten at …
Can you feel it? That little change in the air? The reaching for the sweater in the evening. The SCHOOL SUPPLIES on the shelves! September is just around the corner and with it, the return to homework, games and practices. For a lot of us, it marks a return to a busy, scheduled life. For …
What a week! The sun is shining, the beach is calling and the evenings just beg for you to sit outside sipping on something cool.

No problem, you think… I’ll just throw together my favorite summer salad and we’re good to go…except wait…I don’t have all the stuff I …
June 23 It’s the last weekend of June. What? How exactly did this happen? If you have kids, this time of year can feel like the sprint at the end of a marathon. There’s a lot that happens in the last week of June…proms, graduations, awards ceremonies, parties, last day of school, etc. This is …
Can you feel it? Summer….I think it might finally be making an appearance. After a cool and wet spring, we are now just starting to get glimpses of a some pretty remarkable days and evenings. School events are winding down and people are lingering outside well into the evening. It’s pretty sweet. Now…what are you …
Wow…May is really flying by, and even though we are still experiencing some cool and wet spring days, I have already shifted my meal planning and use my barbecue more often than not. I’m not typically someone who barbecues all year, so I like to take advantage of cooking outside over an open flame when …
