One of my favorite things about the colder seasons is making and eating lots of soup.

My favorite desserts have fruits and vegetables in them such as carrot, squash, zucchini, bananas and apples with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. This apple cake […]
Remember when you were a kid, how fun it was to get mail? It always meant something good – a letter from a friend at camp or a present from Grandma. As you got older, mail got a lot less fun – bills, advertisements, bills, junk, bills. Well, now the mail can be fun […]
It’s October! October is my favorite month of the year. The weather is cooler and the leaves are turning to all my favorite jewel-toned colors: orange, green, brown, red and purple (hey, there are purple leaves!). It’s the month of Tom’s and my anniversary. This year will be 10 YEARS since we met in my […]
