I have the August blues. You know the ones. The school supply list, the uniforms, the shoes you don’t want to buy because by Thanksgiving they won’t fit. Our school calendar came home yesterday and within fifteen minutes I was on Christmas break. I. AM. NOT. READY. I had to bring summer back! So I […]

Feelin’ It Friday V
We are really in the thick of summer. I was just looking at our wish list, and thinking what have been up to? Lots of pool time, so in the next few weeks some adventures on the horizon. This week we was full of music and arts. I am feelin’ the movie releases this summer!Toy […]
Bacon Asparagus Pasta
I grew up thinking pasta was served two ways – spaghetti dinner and the very occasional (maybe only once a year) lasagna and stuffed shells. I really didn’t know that pasta was more then just a vehicle for tomato sauce and served with a side of garlic bread. What is wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. […]
Pickled Red Onions
This is a quick pantry basic. I love this recipe because it’s simple, easy, you likely have all the ingredients on hand, and it goes with everything. Turkey sandwich on rye, BLT, Italian cold cut, steak tacos, nachos, and more. Pickled Red Onions1 red onion, peeled and thinly slicedjuice of 1 lime1 T orange juice2 […]
The Dawg Days of Summer
It’s HOT! The Maryland summer high heat has come in full force this week. Heat index of 108 degrees coming up. Seemed like a perfect time to share this fun photog and food project I worked with my cousins on last week. Is there nothing simpler then a good old hot dog bar? Technically yes, […]
Feelin’ It Friday IV
Our family took a short break last week from work to celebrate the Fourth. We stayed home because you don’t travel when the town you grew up in has the best Fourth celebration of all time. The nice thing about closing for three days and staying home is – staying home. No rushing around. Just […]
Classic Hummus
Things you should know about me:1. All dips are a food group to me. 2. I would eat chips, dip and drink beer every day in the summer. The days that I didn’t want that, I would have a snowball or ice cream.3. Vegetables are important, and I don’t eat enough of them. 4. Dinner […]
Red, White and Blue Salad
This simple salad is easy to put together and the measurements can be adjusted for one to twenty in an instant, making this a great lunch entree or a side to any outdoor BBQ. In the heat of summer, one of my go-to’s is chilled watermelon. It’s refreshing, and is great working up a sweat […]
Feelin’ It Friday – An Ode to Sister
“Where do your kids go to school?” “Trinity.” “Is Sister Catherine still there?” For four beautiful years, that was the famed question. “If I had a dollar…” comes to mind. It was one year ago that our beloved school and parish would learn that our Sister Catherine had passed from this life to the next. […]
Feelin’ It Friday III
Well, it’s the last day of school, and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER ABOUT IT! I have been mentally counting down since there were 31 days left. It’s a problem, but one I can live with. In honor of the last day, I am feelin’ all things summer. I am feelin’ the SUMMER BUCKET LIST. […]
