Squash season is here and Iâve been busy cooking and freezing batches for soup later this winter. But when I saw Joy Bauerâs recipe for Butternut Squash Mac & Cheese Muffins, it called my name. I used a batch of squash for this recipe. I think it is basically the same recipe I made last […]

Autumn 2022 has made a big splash at Target and I thought I would share a few Target Fall Finds from my field trip this week. Wow, my last Target trip was in the Spring, so I guess we are due to see what they have on hand. I am not a Target affiliate, but […]
A recent bounty of fresh tomatoes found me channeling my mom and grandma in the kitchen cleaning, prepping and cooking fresh tomatoes and then getting ready to âput them up,â as they would have said. By which they meant canning in glass jars. Iâm more of a Ziplock freezer bag gal myself.

I channeled my inner Mediterranean this week and whipped up some fresh tzatziki to go with some yummy pita and frozen falafel I picked up on my Trader Joeâs run. DF Denisse (who really is of Greek descent and not just a poseur like I am) told me how easy it is to use up […]
It was way past time to bring our dining table and chairs into the 21st century. But when you love something, itâs hard to say goodbye. Donât you think? So, after heart-wrenching months, the decision was made to sell the bookcase in our dining room and the table and chairs. Hub sold everything on FB […]
