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. […]

One Year Later, Again
It turns out, I write a lot about Mother Nature. I refer to her to a fair amount, and we are legit on the outs with each other. It also turns out, a lot of other people are on the outs with her too. The entire state of Oklahoma, anyone living on or near the […]
Feelin’ It Friday II
I know many across this great land spent the last week planting flowers and herbs and veggies. Probably some mulch, weeding, a few trips to the landfill, Home Depot, and the local nursery. Our veg garden is on a summer hiatus. Some of the beds are in bad shape, and I need to rethink how […]
Feelin’ It Friday
People. People. It is May. It is a whirlwind. It will not stop raining. My kids have 15 days of school left, the end, while in sight, cannot come fast enough! I know you are feeling this. Please, let’s raise our Friday morning coffee, mimosa, Bloody Mary, smoothie, protein shake, or water and cheers to […]
A Place of Peace
For those playing along, you may remember we had a massive leak in our roof this past fall. It was a great way to wrap the year of water. New restaurant, new basement, and new roof. That was in many ways the straw that broke the camel’s back. I needed more peace, and less stress, […]
