Last night I threw together a very simple dessert for my girls and their friends and then I had to slap their little hands away from eating mine. Sheesh. You’ll love this and it’s only three simple ingredients. Strawberries & Balsamic Vinegar 1 quart strawberries, washed and sliced 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tbsp granulated …
I love fish but it’s something we really don’t eat enough of. In an effort to cook more fish, I tried this recipe I had ripped out of a Racheal Ray magazine a few years ago. I have been advised by the family that I can stop looking for other fish recipes. This is the …
I woke up this morning to find out that I was the victim of a meme! D’oh! Anyway as it happens this little meme was a delight because it took me down memory lane and that’s always a fun trip. So I am taking part in HostelBookers 7 Super Shots because my dear friend Heather …
