Today I’m sharing some successful homemade bread recipes. And the recommendations come from a highly skilled baker – my sister, Monique! Although it took several months of experimentation, I have had pretty good luck baking my own sourdough bread. But the recipe I use is very simple and I in no way am a good […]
I wasn’t quite sure how to title this post. Mediterranean appetizers? Mediterranean happy hour? Mediterranean board? So I came up with Mediterranean Bites. But any of those descriptors work. The goal was to create a tasty and unique way to host an afternoon gettogether. This week I hosted a small group of gals for an […]

There is nothing terribly interesting going on here, so I thought it a good time to chat about this and that. My January 2025 potpourri. My bffs and I took a field trip to Queen Creek Olive Mill. When I say field trip, it’s because it is very far from my part of town. But […]
