Today is another silly holiday, it is National Garlic Day! This is an ingredient I love using. Chopped up garlic sauteed with onions is the beginning to many a great meal.

I would imagine that many of us are serving a baked ham today, moist and delicious!! I bake mine a bit differently using my slow cooker sometimes or a parchment cover in the oven, slow cooking for 30 minutes per pound at 250 degrees. I used to use paper bags from the grocery store, but …

What can you do with the little bits of things left over from the week? Those bits of meat and vegetables, too much to throw away and too little to make a serving? I know a lot of you out there make soup. My brother-in-law likes to put leftover veggies cold in salads. Actually it …
It is said that you should do on New Year's Day what you want to do all year long. So, I played today, did some sewing and crafting, a little creative cooking, and left the laundry alone. I have a new quilting design in the works and I started on it today. Here's a sneak …
Whether the celebration is on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, the perfect menu needs a pretty setting. This year I set my table with the Lenox Holiday Tartan china I inherited from my mother. Red placemats embroidered with green holly leaves and cutwork are at each place, with matching napkins in holly berry metal napkin …
