Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Chili Cook Off at Keller Williams Realty Boise last week. I did not win. However, I can say that I had no chili left. Hmmm. How on earth can real pork shoulder compare to ground beef!!! And beans!

That is exactly what I asked myself yesterday. Home bound with a cold. My strategy for colds is to lay low for 24-36 hours and yes, I do beat that cold. I do have help from plenty of liquids, vitamin C and Zinc, tea and good food. Not wanting to leave the house - God... Continue Reading →

Ah, the front porch. We all want one! I don't have a front porch but I do have a front patio area. One evening last Spring, I opened up a bottle of French red wine and went to work decorating my "space". Actually what I was really doing was celebrating my new singleness. New life!...

I saw a recipe online this week, and decided to try it in my attempt to be more wheat free. Traditional tabbouleh uses bulgur and I honestly, I have not made tabbouleh for years because of this. I wanted something healthier. Why not cauliflower? And, while I am at it, why not use arugula? Cauliflower... Continue Reading →

Delicious dinner and we went to the gardens with very happy tummies! Verde Sauce 1.5 lbs fresh tomatillos 4 garlic cloves, not peeled 1... Continue Reading →
