December 5, 2020.Reading time 7 minutes.

I can’t believe that Christmas is now only 3 weeks away. My house is decorated, the tree is up and I’m spending some quality time wrapping up the gifts. I wanted to put a more rustic spin on the wrap this year-at least as far as the paper goes. With my tree a 12 foot […]

Happy Summer! Today I have a cool cucumber salad for your summer get togethers, picnics or for a little everyday variety. To me, summer means different foods than when hibernating for the winter. During winter, I eat more beef, bread, heavier foods. Goodness knows I have no fear of wasting away, but such is the […]
