Chicken & Avocado Salsa Sliders (Canned or Leftover Chicken!)
My middle daughter created this fun adaptation of a Martha Stewart recipe after requesting free reign to make lunch. Isn’t it nice when your kids want to cook! Martha’s spicy original was made with boneless chicken breast and served, sans bun, as an entrée; my daughter’s canned chicken, sandwich version takes on a more casual … Continue reading
Spring Flowers in Egg Cups (for the Non-Crafty)
I love all of the really cute crafty things people do in the spring. From the decorated cookies to the place cards with duckies to the floral centerpieces… But when it comes to crafting, I am not talented. Last Easter, I bought fancy icings, cute cookie cutters and pastry bags with decorating tips and decided … Continue reading
10 Minute (Beautiful) Pear Tart
I found a new fruit tart recipe on one of my regular blog reads (Healthy Eating for Ordinary People) last fall–right after buying a case of peaches. When the author mentioned she had prepared a beautiful peach masterpiece in 10 minutes (working time), it was fate. I must, however, admit that it took me 15 … Continue reading
More Natural Easter Egg Dyes
I have been dying Easter Eggs naturally for years. It’s fun and easy–and I always feel more in touch with nature and the returning spring! Beets for pink, red cabbage for blue and Turmeric for yellow. With the primary colors covered, you can do anything… (directions are at the bottom of this post) Not wanting … Continue reading

Phewww! Our “desperately busy” week is almost over! Did I learn any lessons? Just one. After watching my ham & cheese sliders disappear like water, I need a recipe for slider rolls. I surfed the web and came up with a great looking recipe from Eggs on Sunday (which the blogger got from the book … Continue reading
Freezer Ham & Cheese Sliders (for the Desperately Busy)
It’s going to be a crazy week at our house. Our youngest is in final (read “longer”) rehearsals for the school play (along with a million lessons and um, school); the middle has added a two day Model UN event to two sports, dance and school. And our oldest—well thank goodness for college away! So … Continue reading
Irish Brown Soda Bread
I first tasted Irish Soda bread when I was 18. After years of spending vacations at the family cabin, my father opened up the checkbook and took the whole family abroad. We collected notable family stories and even brought back a recipe or two. Among the beautiful hills of Killarney, Mrs O’Malley, our B&B hostess, … Continue reading
(Organic!) Homemade Irish Cream
St Patrick’s Day is coming! In my youth, I was an Irish dancer and spent the holiday traveling from bar to bar, dropping into bed exhausted. Now that I’m older, I plan to spend the evening more simply, reading by the fire with a glass of Irish Cream. (After driving the kids from event to … Continue reading
Whitefish in Dill Sauce
Fish is a delightful—and versatile—food . I first tried Whitefish in Dill Sauce at the Clearing in Ellison Bay, WI while attending a week long Photoshop Class that included a delicious daily lunch. This meal stood out, so when a local market had a sale on Lake Superior Whitefish, it was time to create my … Continue reading
Forcing Branches for Spring Blooms
In the last cold days of winter, everyone could use a taste of spring! And fortunately this can be easy and economical—with a simple walk around your yard. Just cut a few branches from flowering plants to bring indoors for “forcing”! Many spring flowering trees and shrubs can be encouraged to flower indoors long before … Continue reading
