Turkey Stuffed Peppers

“I can smell autumn dancing in the breeze” Today was one of those days – I didn’t know what to make for dinner. My daughter mentioned that she was making stuffed peppers on Thursday, so I thought I would do the same for tonight.  I don’t think that I ever made stuffed peppers with meat,…

Shannon’s Chicken and Broccoli

“good food ends with good talk” Ronnie is always asking me to make broccoli. It’s not my favorite vegetable so I rarely make it. While having dinner with our best friends, Shannon and Mike, we started the same discussion about broccoli. Shannon told Ronnie that she will make him her favorite dish, chicken and broccoli….

Lunchtime

“time for lunch” All I’ve been thinking about since I came home from Florida is the Ramen meal we had in Del Ray. I talked about it so much that Ronnie and Anthony decided they wanted to have Ramen for lunch. They were actually going to go without me until I mentioned that it was…

Back to Reality

“home is my happy place” It’s always a nice feeling to come home after you go away. I love to travel but I enjoy being home. The first thing I think about when I get home is what I’m going to make for dinner, so I sent my daily text; to my surprise it wasn’t…

Lunchtime

“August it’s like the Sunday of summer” Another beautiful day in Florida. We decided to have a light lunch because we had plans to go to Ft. Lauderdale to celebrate Logan’s birthday. Logan suggested that we go to the Ramen Lab eatery for lunch. I love ramen noodles so I was excited to go. First,…

Morning Coffee

“but first, coffee” We started our day at a cute breakfast place called Howley’s. I had an omelet with grits, the mushrooms, cheese and bacon omelet was delicious and the grits were amazing. The small local restaurants are always the best to eat at. My daughter Logan took us to a Manatee Lagoon, but of…

A Summer Day in Boston

“let’s go somewhere “ Every time we go to Boston I tell Ronnie that I want to eat at Wahlburgers, so finally he surprised me and took me. They have the most delicious hamburgers (of course since that’s what they specialize in), we try to go to different ones when we are in the area….

Summer Days

“some of the best memories are made in flip flops” Kellie Elmore The month of August is bittersweet; we still get to enjoy the lazy days of summer but, we have to soon get back to reality. I always dreaded the end of the summer when my children were young. It meant we had to…

Pastina – Mama’s way

“these are the moments, i’ll remember all my life” Another memory of my grandmother is the way she made pastina for us when we stayed at her house. Such a simple recipe that turned into a must have in our home. This would be a frequent lunch or dinner in my house when my children…

Eggplant with Sausage and Mushrooms.

“a rainy summer day is good for the soul” Sometimes I look forward to rainy days. Since we had such perfect weather this weekend, I’m kind of welcoming the rain. It gives me an excuse to stay in the house, and get stuff done that I don’t do because of the beautiful weather. Who wants…
