Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
My friend, Barbi, inspired me to make a gorgonzola sauce for gnocchi, her favourite dish. And delicious it was! What a pity she was out of town. {insert smirk} And, please forgive this picture; my gnocchi wanted to be saucy that night. Or would that have been sassy? At any rate, I wanted to make...

I do not care for zucchini bread, probably because I just do not like nutmeg. Sorry, it is a deterrent when it comes to those zucchini breads, carrot cake and pumpkin pie. NO thank you. In order to determine a way to use up a boat load of yellow squash I was the recipient of... Continue Reading →

And tremendously tasty! Ingredients: 9-10 chicken thigh pieces, bone in 1/3 cup quality flour 1/4 tsp sea salt and cracked pepper 2 tblsp... Continue Reading →
I sort of follow recipes and yet not at all. I just cannot add certain ingredients that cause concern for me. Why that? Why not this? But, I must admit, I enjoy more of a savory taste than a sweet taste. Gimme some spice in that dish! I can turn down chocolate any day but... Continue Reading →

Got my act together to show up to church rather than stream the service like I usually do. Sigh. Went to the grocery store to get a few things for a... Continue Reading →

The trails back in the trees along Veteran’s Pond are beautiful, except for the part when I got bit by a... Continue Reading →

Being in a kitchen, any kitchen is one of my favorite places to be. Music must be playing in the background for added creativity! I thought I would share some of my simple dishes with you, just because I do like to share. After all, our gardens are now being planned., seeds started. Dreams of... Continue Reading →
I had a number of friends over this weekend, some of which are vegetarians. Serving soup on a cool Fall day was the only idea I could come up with for lunch. I just don't like the gotta-make-pasta for vegetarians cop out for a meal. So, soup it was! But, what could I come up... Continue Reading →
I have no idea for the reason to be absent on my blog so much. Once a month is irresponsible. So, when the question was posted to me, "what have you been up to?" that gave me an idea. Earlier this year, I made a promise to myself to not answer that question with an... Continue Reading →
