Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho
More than a few years back, I posted a collection of summer salads I liked to take to potluck dinners. It’s high time for an update! I find that taking a special recipe is as good as gold. It’s from your very own kitchen, fresh ingredients, and hopefully, natural or organic. What better gift can... Continue Reading →
I found this recipe ages ago in one of those Betty Crocker mini cookbooks they used to sell at the check-out stands at grocery stores. You are supposed to cut up a tomato as a salad cup. Too much work, for me in my 20’s and now in my ah-hem. Well, let’s skip that part.... Continue Reading →
Friday night rolled around, I was home on Cinco de Mayo, exhausted and proud to have finished a very productive week. So, what would I make for dinner? I discovered a cauliflower head begging to be selected! Burrito bowls with cauliflower rice! A quick trip to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients I... Continue Reading →
Chicken Fingers for Grown Ups! I had a package of chicken breast tenderloins, and looked for a different way to cook them last night. I did not want to sauté or fry; that seemed as if it was too much work for my end of the day “I am tiredâ€. So, that meant baking. My... Continue Reading →
Craving a comfort food sort of meal, I purchased a beautiful chuck roast. Problem was I did not want to make the same ole same ole beef roast recipe full of too much sodium. This Carne Guisada popped up in a search, and me being me, I had to tweak what I found to satisfy my yearnings.... Continue Reading →
I went through a very old, tattered file folder Saturday night that had printed recipes from a collection of 20 years. Now, I either save recipes to Pinterest or pdf the recipe I find online. I found Diner Meat Loaf Muffins from Cooking Light, and quickly realized that there is a reason I gave away... Continue Reading →
Lately, at the end of the day I am wiped out. Keeping up with my real estate business, making sure my dog, Zeke, gets his two miles per day in. Oh, wait, maybe that’s for me, too! So, in rolls the holidays. Steady stream of holiday parties, meetings, events, and so forth. Living in Boise... Continue Reading →
If you are looking for an impressive way to serve wild caught salmon for the holidays, I am here to rescue you! Now, take into consideration that I harvested a shopping bag full of tarragon, so I took the time to figure out the measurements for a single batch. I also use this pesto with... Continue Reading →
My tomato plants have been pulled and what was green has slowly ripened for one last pot of marinara sauce. I made a pot of it last week and froze it, then vacuum sealed it to take with me for another trip to Southern California. I'm going to help my sister pack her house and wish her well for...

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 →
