Curried Pumpkin Soup with Apple Croutons and Pacific Foods Products Review
One of my favorite things about the colder seasons is making and eating lots of soup. Nothing warms you up better, inside and out, than holding a steaming bowl in your hands and spooning delicious, savory soup into your mouth. It’s warm, cozy and comforting. With Thanksgiving coming up, my cooking turns to all […]
Colleen’s Pear Crumb Cake
Yesterday I got a huge box delivered to my door. Excited, I hurried to open the box and found a dozen beautiful pears. The pears were a gift from my friend, Colleen. It wasn’t my birthday or anything but life has been hard lately and I have been down. Through it all, Colleen has been […]
Product Review: Wholesome Chow Baking Mixes and a Recipe!!
Remember when I hated baking? If you have been following me for any length of time, you probably remember. I don’t like to measure when I cook and I have limited patience but I keep at it because I’m stubborn. And truth be told, the more I bake, the less I hate it. I’m getting […]

Apple Cake
I love when it’s apple-picking season. It’s the time of the year I most want to bake desserts. But I like desserts that aren’t that sweet.

Product Review: Vegan Cuts
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 […]
