    Happy Weekend! I hope yours has been a time to recharge your batteries. This Sunday Reflections has a theme – Pies! This weekend was the Great American Pie Festival in Celebration, Florida. I have not entered any of the competitions (yet), but I’m an experienced sampler. All the pies you can eat at $10 for…

    As I’m writing this post, I’m memory-listening to a little boy singing his favorite song from his favorite movie. Memory-listening, for those who don’t know, is a lot like when you get a song stuck in your head (now referred to as an earworm), but it’s a song you’ve heard in the past. In this…

    Mexican food is one of my favorite cuisines; right up there with Italian, Greek, French, Indian, German, Puerto Rican, Turkish, Southern, Spanish, Americana… Okay, I just like food. A LOT. I’d love to eat and drink my way around the world in a culinary tour; the kind that would take months and months or even…

    I love St. Patrick’s Day! My dad always said I was a wee bit Irish – about half of my pinkie fingernail – but that’s enough for me to claim it with a smile. I think it all went to my toes and that’s why I love Celtic dancing. One of the things I love…

    Many years ago, when my youngest daughter was in middle school, she was given a very controversial book as required reading in school. As a loving mother who was very involved in my kids education, I was very concerned due to conflicting things I had heard about this book. However, I was also open-minded enough to not rely on…

    It was really Cold in Florida this past weekend. I don’t mean cold for Florida or cold for this time of year. It was 36 degrees when I woke up this morning. That’s COLD! Our cat, who insisted on going out last night, couldn’t wait to come in as soon as we opened the door.…

    Hooray for breakfast! I could have breakfast food for breakfast, lunch and supper. Eggs (so versatile), fruit and juices, oatmeal, grits, potatoes and veggies. Then there’s the traditional breakfast meat choices of ham, sausage or…. BACON! (Can you tell which is my favorite?) And in my world, breakfast isn’t breakfast without bread or a pastry, such…

    So it’s the end of February and New Year’s seems ages ago. Are you still doing well on your resolutions? Eating healthy and/or getting fit is listed as one of the top three New Year’s resolutions, depending on your source. Everyone wants to look and feel better, myself included. Over the years, we’ve made basic…

    I’m convinced that my husband believes that there is a direct correlation between the amount of chocolate in the chocolate chip cookies (that he’s been requesting for the last three weeks) and how much I love him. These are his one of his greatest weaknesses… and mine, too. But when the request comes after supper…

    This is the second of two Pin Tests that I made one evening for supper. I thought it would be great to be able to do a two-for-one meal. The theory was a good one, but not everything turned out exactly as I had hoped. The first post (voted first by my readers) was for…
