Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
My friend Debbi gave me this recipe about 15 years ago, and at the time I saw it as a special event side dish, too difficult and time consuming to bother with unless we had out of town guests. Now when I look at it, I just see the best potato salad recipe ever created!... Continue Reading →
My friend Tamera recently posted a recipe for homemade Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Kind Bars, my favorite, so I had to try them. Hers looked exactly like what you find in the packaging, mine did not. I didn't spread the mixture out quickly enough, so they became little clusters instead of bars, and I... Continue Reading →
I was craving exactly this recently; light and cool with plenty of flavor. I think we will be eating a lot of it over the summer. I found it at skinnytaste.com and made it just like the recipe suggested. 1 lb jumbo cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined, chopped 1 medium tomato, diced 1 hass avocado,... Continue Reading →
I discovered this salad at Bravo Cucina Italiana, a franchise Italian restaurant here in Omaha. It's the only thing I order there, so I looked up the menu, bought all the ingredients and made it at home and it came together nicely. If we have it as a main course I add grilled chicken or...

I have been in a lemon mood lately, not sure why. Last Spring we were in Italy and saw so many lemon trees that I had to buy a plant when we returned. It took 6 or 8 months, but my plant returned one perfect lemon. It was the sweetest thing. So this year I'm... Continue Reading →

One of those three had a birthday yesterday and this was the result. I used this recipe for my daughter's high school graduation... Continue Reading →
My friend Kristy and I discovered this pizza at Mellow Mushroom somewhere in Georgia a few years ago. She loves caesar salads and I like anything different, so we had to try it. Apparently it is not available at all Mellow Mushrooms, only those who have met certain quotas and such. It doesn't matter to... Continue Reading →
I got this simple recipe from my friend Kara, it seems to be the official snack of our kids' high school. Apparently it's so addictive that they call it crack, so I don't even allow myself to try it. If I did, I'm sure I would add peanuts or something salty. This is a recipe... Continue Reading →
My son sent me a picture of this with one word, Please?? He is not a big dessert eater and rarely makes a request for food, so I indulged him on this one. It was a hit! I found the recipe on http://www.handletheheat.com/peanut-butter-cup-cheesecake/ and chose it because of the Oreo crust, many others used brownies.... Continue Reading →
