I know its not even October yet but I am ready for Halloween! When I was a kid in Independence, Kansas Halloween meant more than candy and trick or treating. It meant Neewollah! That was the town festival celebrated around the end of October. It was more
than just Halloween spelled backwards.…

her siblings, have been at the center of a…

My favorite thing about cooking is when I know I got it right. I've "hit the nail on the head" and tweaked a recipe till it reaches Nirvana in your mouth! I know it when I've conceived of the idea, when I've taste-tested along the way and when I'm photographing

Every time I talk about soup that line from Seinfeld comes out! I can't help it! That has to be one of the catchiest lines from any show. I dare you to say it without adding the accent-- it can't be done! That show has ruined 'soup' for me!

I get asked this question 3 times almost every night. Once by my husband and once by each of my kids. I make dinner and inevitably one will get the ball rolling. It's like Chinese water torture! They know it annoys me which is why they each ask. I tried

There are times when I am gloriously happy to live in Florida and today was one of those days! Made a road trip to Daytona today with my hubby and our 2 teenage boys. Last weekend was the Daytona 500 and next weekend is Bike Week so this was a good time

So a typical Friday night at our house is..well...there is no typical Friday night at our house. We are always doing something different. However, this Friday night was spent with a new recipe (Chicken Enchiladas) and a free movie rental from Redbox. First
