Dessert Time

While I would have loved to pop a handful of these treats into my mouth, I only took one strawberry dipped in chocolate. My first week of trying…

Breakfast of Champions

I enjoy a good hearty breakfast. A little fruit for something sweet, an organic egg, and some chicken sausages (range free, no antibiotics, etc.) do the trick. It’s also…

Pork Chop with Black Raspberry Sauce

I had high hopes for this black raspberry sauce but it didn’t taste up to my expectations. I crushed up fresh black raspberries, added some orange juice and…

Chicken Salad with Apples, Grapes and Walnuts

Once Memorial Day is over it’s always a reminder that summer is only a few weeks away and that I need to lose the winter fat. So, on…

Thaitation

The other day it was in the mid 50s and I ate lunch outside. Yesterday was in the low 40s, still not bad for the middle of winter,…

Good Food and Family

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday with loved ones. I will be spending the day with family and enjoying more food than my stomach…

Bountiful Treasure

My friend Jennifer made this cake for her son’s 3rd birthday. I think she did an amazing job! I was the one who pointed out to the kids…

Nut & Meat Chopper

Over the holidays I was staying with Mom and Dad and I asked my Mom if she needed any help with the zucchini bread she was making. She…

Dubble Bubble…

…I’m in Trouble! Usually reserved for softball season, these pieces of gum come in handy when I need a quick sugar fix. Yes, I’ll confess, “I am a…

Creepy Carrot

I pulled this carrot out of the bag of baby carrots and it freaked me out a little bit. It looked like fingers reaching out to grab me….

Florida Oranges

What’s Florida without oranges? Well, it’s still Florida but not as tasty! Nothing better than fresh squeezed Florida oranges. When I was visiting my parents we would buy…

Animal Sculptures

These shots of the animal sculptures were taken at the Hobe Sound Art Festival back in February. They close down a section of one of the streets and set up tents…

Outdoor Refrigeration

One of the benefits of living in New England in the winter is that when it snows you have a free refrigerator. At my aunt’s house if you…

Thanksgiving Pie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My job for Thanksgiving is to make the apple pie. Here’s a shot of last year’s pie (I didn’t take a…

Fruity

Another left over shot from the photo walk I went on back in July. I liked the lines and layout of the fruits in this shot. For those…

Grape Expectations

Here’s some of the grapes up close and personal from yesterday’s vineyard shot. I love that there is a lone blue/purple grape.

We all scream for ice cream

Yesterday was around 93° in Plymouth, MA. I took the day off because it was my birthday and meet Mom, Dad and Aunt Jud for lunch. We ate…

Thursday’s Leftovers: what’s that smell

Yeah, if you still have leftovers in the fridge three days later it’s probably going to be starting to smell about now. This shot is from last August…

Orange you glad to see me?

Well, it’s good to be home. I had a nice relaxing week in Florida. The two warmest days were the day I arrived and the day I left!…

Wholesome Goodness

Okay, it may not be wholesome but it sure is goodness! It snowed again this past weekend so, once again I was inside making cookies. While I didn’t…

Half Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies

What do you do on New Year’s Eve when a snowstorm hits and you decide it’s safer to just stay put and not go out? Why, you bake…

Kisses

My pie skills were passed down from three generations of wonderful bakers. From my great grandma Bryant to her daughter Elinor (my grandmother who I unfortunately never met)….

Pie

Step 6: Okay, I jumped a few steps between peeling the apples and the completed pie. I didn’t take any pictures of the dough being rolled or the…

Peeled

Step 2: Peeling the apples. This is probably my least favorite part of making an apple pie. Although, cleanup and washing the dishes are very close behind. When…
