Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding If comfort food involves bread and/or chocolate for you, this could be your new favorite dessert. I made this for years, and then forgot all about it, until I had some chocolate croissants that needed to go away. It’s now front of mind again! Dark Chocolate Bread Pudding 1/4 c unsalted...

I work from home, so lunch is usually for one and needs to be quick. Margarita pizza is my favorite kind, so I fix one of these pretty often for myself. Sometimes we'll have it for dinner if no one is terribly hungry, or we'll use this as a flatbread with pasta. Mini Margarita Flatbread... Continue Reading →
I needed to bake a cake for a house full of people and had a taste for lemons, so I put this together and it worked well! I buy jarred lemon curd (Dickinson's) but you can make it yourself. This cake is good the first day, but even better when the lemon curd has had... Continue Reading →
No one will know if I choose to drink a chocolate milkshake instead of a fruit and vegetable smoothie today. And no one will know if I decide to skip my workouts for the week. Of course, that milkshake is going to make the workout tougher to endure, if I do it at all. And... Continue Reading →

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 →
It's been too cold for too long at our house. This calls for comfort food. I had some leftover Charleston Grits, grilled chicken and roasted vegetables. So I put them all together and placed an egg over easy on top. Nothing better.
We had some friends over for the Super Bowl last night, it was a low-key event at our house this year because of the snowstorm, but a great night. Normally I spend most of the day in the kitchen, preparing for a Super Bowl feast, and miss most of the game because I am still... Continue Reading →
Anybody got a crazy week planned? We sure do! Looking ahead I see very little breathing room, with meetings or responsibilities each night. Ironically, yesterday was a quiet day for us, which gave me some time to prepare for the onslaught. One way that I get ready is to cook components of dinner ahead of... Continue Reading →
