One of our favorite ways to start the day is with a simple, uncomplicated breakfast. Scrambled eggs, toast and fresh coffee immediately comes to mind.

Wisconsin and Fond Memories

Today is National Wisconsin Day. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not really featuring National State Day as I have in the past. I did want to acknowledge Wisconsin and say thank you from the bottom of my heart. Wisconsin gave me Hubby. The love of my life.

My Valentine’s Day with Sizzle

If Valentine’s Day were any other day of the week, a South of the Border Tampiqueña Surf -n-Turf is just what Hubby would want for Valentine’s Day. However, today is Friday. In this Traditional Catholic Home there’s a No Turf rule on Fridays.

Today is Thursday. In our house we tend to turn to something Italian on Thursdays. How convenient, since today is also National Italian Food Day and Tortellini Day. Talk about the menu writing itself!

A Little Nashville Sizzle

Oh what a beautiful day. Spring is trying to break through. The days are not as chilly, while the nights are still a bit cold. Perfect weather to get a jump on our spring cleaning projects and start thinking about resurrecting our garden.

A Feast Fit for Our Lady of Lourdes

At Long Last Fingerlings!

Every time Hubby and I do the shopping together as we wander through the produce section, I glance longingly at the Fingerling Potatoes. It seems they never fit into our menu plan. And there was only one solution.

What a Spicy Pizza – Oh My!

Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday. As hard as it is to believe, we aren’t spending today glued to the TV. Not even the commercials have drawn us in. Today Hubby and I are spending the day holding hands and enjoying the fresh air. This is better than any Super Bowl party in my book.

Oh Go Fly a Kite

Today is both Iowa Day and Fly a Kite Day. I have such warm memories of flying kites as a kid. Back then a kite cost a whopping twenty-five cents. The tail was made from torn strips of old clothing tied together, and the string was wrapped around a stick.

Let’s Turn the World Upside Down

Sometimes we need to turn the world upside down to gain a better prespective. That can be a very scary experience. For the conservatives in America, it feels like the last 4 years have been upside down. For the liberals, what lay ahead might seem just as inverted.

Tuesday’s Warm Embrace

In our house, Tuesday night’s dinner typically means something we can have with a salty margarita. If my guys had it there way, we’d rotate between Burritos, Enchiladas and Tacos. Not that I can blame them, those are among my favorites, too.

What’s Up, Doc?

When I think Carrot Cake, I think Bugs Bunny. When I think Bugs Bunny, I think What’s Up Doc? And that brings me back to San Francisco a very long time ago.
