I LOVE Broccoli Cheddar Soup. It’s just so good. I think the absolute best there is is Panera’s. I have to have it every time I go. Broccoli Cheddar Soup is perfect for Autumn. It’s warm and conforming and actually pretty easy to put together. It’s one of those dishes that makes you look like you slaved away when really it took close to 30 minutes to have ready to go on the table (depending on how long you let {Read More}

Cheddar Bacon Risoto Think macaroni and cheese, on a pedestal. If the thought of one more night of rice,pasta, or potatoes as a side dish makes you want to pull your hair out, risotto is a wonderful substitute. It’s somewhere between a rice and pasta risotto takes on the flavors of whatever ingredients you cook it with, making it really versatile.

My Daughter, Lynn, she is amazing. She is sweet, kind, loving, talented, beautiful, artistic, smart, perceptive.. And she is all this even though her life has been has been incredible difficult. We adopted Lynn and her sister when they were 3 and 4 years old from foster care. Before they came to us they had already lived in 5 different homes. This changes a person when they don’t get the love and care that a child needs. It changes brain {Read More}

Yesterday I whipped up a batch of lavender simple syrup and added it to some lemonade {Read More}

Then I got a little older and those foods were just not working for {Read More}

Yard Sales.. everything should be $.25.. (I kid.. {Read More}
