Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
Grief has no particular time frame. The cliché that it “comes in waves†is the only tangible way to describe that overwhelming feeling one experiences when you least expect it. Just when you think you have your grownup bootstraps up just so, it all comes tumbling down. Cascading is another word that comes to mind... Continue Reading →
It’s somehow astonishing to think that this Fall it will be two years since Paul died. It took me almost a year to use the word “died†instead of “passingâ€. The first year I learned that he did not pass but that he died and it was all so very final. And at the same... Continue Reading →
Tis the season for abundance from our gardens. Â We lovingly prune and tend to our gardens. We post photographs on Instagram of the fruits of our labor. Which led me to think about abundance in our daily lives. Advertising tends to show the finer side of life, with glamor and elegance as a focal point.... Continue Reading →
When does your week end and when does your week begin? I suppose I can say Sunday or Monday, Monday being the wisest choice. After all, Saturdays and Sundays are supposed to be “off†days despite the fact that many of us work on weekends. I had a tough week. It began early on with... Continue Reading →

I added a few blogs to my Reader preferences in Word Press. Lastly, I watered my neighbor’s... Continue Reading →
I used to be a Pinterest Foodie addict. Pinning late at night, pinning early in the morning. The daytime hours had to be for career activities, but the Pinterest button on my add-ons bar beckoned me mercilessly. Thousands of pins later, I am so over that now. I am much for selective and spend less... Continue Reading →
I have to admit, I LOVE lemon anything. I tried this dressing last weekend with miso. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious. However, I felt making the taste simple would just be a better result. I was right, once again. Insert smile here 🙂 Oh, and I make enough to last a week or... Continue Reading →
Some days, I just have to have a bowl of fresh pasta. I know, the gluten thing. I'm here to tell you that King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill are the best hands down, but if you are going to have to use a gluten free flour, I highly recommend Manini's. I have made so... Continue Reading →
Based on a recipe I have for 3 ingredient energy bars, I gave a traditional rum ball recipe some thought. How could I incorporate my favorite cookie to replace the vanilla wafers? How could I add a fruit of some kind? And, better yet, replace rum for a better flavor? Well, this is my creation... Continue Reading →
