I can’t tell you how exited I am about my upcoming vacation! I think I already mentioned it in one of my prior posts and finally we are close to the countdown, 11 more days and Mike and I are taking off for a trip of a lifetime. Its our 10th year wedding anniversary and we…
The last 4 weeks were filled with lots of fun and sightseeing with our friends from out of town. Seattle becomes the “destination city” for our friends who live in hot places like Minneapolis or Denver. Around 85 degrees it gets way too hot for me but our friends loved the 20-degree difference and welcomed the cool…
It has been a long summer so far and I am FAR from complaining about the summer, but my creative cooking I have to say is somewhat lacking these days. My hubby is BBQ’ing like a madman, which I love for obvious reasons (I don’t have to cook and very little clean up) BUT I am getting tired…
Wow what a fun and busy last month it has been. I am so happy to report that I could cross off another item on my bucket list – Niagara Falls. What an amazing experience it was to visit Niagara Falls 1,5 hours outside of Toronto. Everybody always told me that the Falls would look…
I am sure this is just me feeling this way and might not apply to most of you – but to me city girl – it’s one of the coolest things on earth to walk out into your garden, pick some fresh flowers, a bucket full of raspberries and a bowl full of strawberries, vanish…
Its a national holiday in the US – Memorial Day – and in my opinion time to be grateful for our standard of living and peace – more so than maybe on Thanksgiving. To be honest – I take it for granted to live in peace – and can’t even imagine, nor do I ever want…
No stories from the “field” today, live is busy with work, garden stuff and just hanging with friends and the occasional dinner that is cooked from scratch like this awesome Chicken Pasta Bake. Its one of those dishes I like to start making on a Friday night when its not hectic and can make a…
Life is busy but uneventful these days – get up, go to work, work, come home, feed the animals, cook, eat, crash on the couch, go to bed and start over. Mike and I are crazy busy at work, my company has its last quarter of the fiscal year and the already busy schedule gets…
Business brought me to San Francisco last week and gave me the opportunity to get the lay of the land of this beautiful city so that I know where to take my parents when they come visit us next March for my mums 70’s birthday. My mums birthday wish is to celebrate her 70’s birthday…
I am not a big fan of Starbucks coffee but their Lemon Pound cake is to die for! One must wonder though why I feel the need for baking something that truly only I will enjoy in this household and 10,000 calories will stare at me every morning, when I walk by the cake stand…
Today is Presidents Day – Well Happy Birthday Dear Mr. President. Hopefully George loved his birthday week as much as I do. I get to celebrate an entire week with my friends and family who take me out to lunches, dinner, drinks, foot massages, urban floats and long weekend get aways! This year we celebrated my birthday…
Its Football Post Season and the Seahawks lost last week against the North Carolina Panthers😦. Now I have lots of time again on Saturdays and Sunday to cook and bake. First I baked this ultra delicious and light Raspberry Biscuit Roulade. I am so glad I finally put this recipe on my blog because I…
