Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Keller Williams Realty Boise
I had a few Yukon gold potatoes left over from the holidays, and I kept seeing them in my kitchen. They were literally begging me to do something about their fate. Okay then! Pattie cake or Pancake? Since I love hash browns and green onions, I went to work and grabbed my box cheese grater.... Continue Reading →
Okay, truth be told, I love tzatziki dip and I was introduced to raita sauce a few weeks ago. One more confession: the local Whole Foods has elevated my taste because their version of tzatziki is spicy, a trait I willingly confess to. I just love spicy and savory rather than sweet and whatever. And... Continue Reading →
I posted the original recipe for my tomato jam two years ago in the fall. This weekend I changed a few ingredients and methods. Oh, and I added crisp bacon!! I did discover date syrup for this weekend's batch. A few years back, a good friend gave me a small jar of tomato jam. I... Continue Reading →
What a week I had! It was full of daunting decisions, long conversations, even longer hikes in the mornings in silence. On these hikes, I have noticed that most of the birds have moved on.

I had a hankering for brussels sprouts yesterday, so much so that I drove to Trader Joe’s on a whim. My biggest decision was should I buy whole sprouts or shaved sprouts? I opted for whole because I wanted to make tacos. I must disclose that I could eat tacos every day. There, now you... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make, I have been craving a chicken dish I found in the Los Angeles Times before I moved to Idaho. Thursday June 3, 1982 to be exact. Chicken a la Chardon. And, my leanings towards poultry have lessened in the past few years, but Sunday night I had to look... Continue Reading →
There is nothing better than tender chicken and vegetables in a stir fry. I had a Costco package of chicken thighs from Costco and this weekend I had a craving for Brussels sprouts. Stir fry! Ingredients 1 pound package boneless, skinless chicken thighs 1 10oz bag shaved brussels sprouts from Trader Joes 1 large carrot,... Continue Reading →
