How Does America Heal? #BuildingBridges

I have struggled since last week to write a blog post because of the swirling drama over the election, COVID surge and general feeling of gloom in America. Giving up or giving in? I am not sure what I need to consider for healing…..For that matter, what America needs. I have found that letting go... Continue Reading →

Comfort Food Until Inauguration Day #HashBrownCasserole

I write my blog posts on Sunday afternoons, and just so you know, it’s been snowing here in Idaho. The stillness inspired me to make a comfort food breakfast and after gobbling it up, I decided that I would make comfort food for the next 70 plus days. Until Inauguration Day. Let’s start with breakfast.... Continue Reading →

Roller Coaster November #Election2020

Let’s face it, we won’t know the election results for at least a week after next Tuesday. It’s inevitable given the absentee ballots and early voting we are watching in the national news every day. What impresses me is the amount of determination to vote, no matter what, no matter how long the lines are.... Continue Reading →

#Vote Like Your Life Depends On It #Vote2020

Today is my birthday. I held on to my absentee ballot so that I could drop it off TODAY, on my birthday. Mission accomplished. All I want for my birthday is to know you all have either voted early, will get out and vote early or bought a camp chair to hang out in a... Continue Reading →

#Spanakorizo – Greek Spinach & Rice

Last March when all of us were hoarding toilet paper, paper towels and sanitizer products, I stocked up on grains and legumes. After all, I use glass storage jars to keep certain foods fresh. My favorites are the French canning jars that have the wire rails and clamp shut over a rubber seal. I frequent... Continue Reading →

Foiled Again! #NoTopic

Well, I am here at home on a Sunday night with NO ideas for my blog, recipe I concocted was a disaster (will work on this), attitude is down (worked on this over weekend) and business is tough. Where to begin??? Let’s go with the recipe first. I had a hankering for a hash brown... Continue Reading →

Tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg #RBGstrong

As I drove home Friday afternoon from a week on the Washington coast, a notification popped up on my iPhone. All I saw was the name Ginsburg and I knew. I was in the middle of literally nowhere in eastern Washington, and that meant not enough bars to pull over and click the link. I... Continue Reading →

Almond Flour Banana Bread #GFBananaBread

I have a confession to make. I bought a 5lb bag of almond flour at Costco with no plans on what to do with it all. Not a good idea, note to self. So, I thought I would make good use of the bananas I had in my freezer. I searched a few recipes, added... Continue Reading →

My Favorite Quotes That Resonate #BeTheChange

Something hit me this weekend, what was it? It dawned on me that I was longing for a pick me up. Something other than my hikes with Murphy, something other than creating a new recipe. Something other than what I was doing. I think I am in a COVID state of weariness. However, it soon... Continue Reading →

How About Being Positive? #RespectEachOther

I am beginning to wonder if Americans are no longer shocked by what they hear: they either believe one way or completely another way. Are we no longer paying attention or are we grappling with the onslaught of negativity? Why have we become unmotivated or procrastinators in our daily lives? Is it COVID19 or is...
