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...

My friend brought this dish over for dinner last week and I keep thinking about it. I love the simplicity of the recipe, but the number of steps makes it really special, and the fact that she took the time to make this for us is so kind. Chicken Picatta 2 lbs chicken breasts, pounded... Continue Reading →
I have made this five or six times now and it never disappoints, even if I do. One time I forgot the coconut milk, another I left off the tofu. I have used homemade vegan 'fish sauce' or the bottled kind, doesn't matter. Delicious. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but this comes together... Continue Reading →

Today is my Mom’s birthday, and she is visiting us this week. Caramel has always been her favorite flavor, and if you can incorporate some pecans and ice cream as well, you’ve hit a home run with her. I think I knocked it out of the park this year. I got the ice cream recipe... Continue Reading →
Wait....what?? A couple of weeks ago I made a chocolate chip pecan pie and took it to a dinner with friends. We brought it home with a couple of slices leftover and I had an idea. What if I made classic vanilla ice cream and dropped the rest of the pie into it? Would it... Continue Reading →
I will admit that I kind of turned my nose up to the Hello Fresh's of the world, I cook all the time, I don't need anybody sending me deconstructed meals to prepare when I can buy it locally from the store, right? But then I read about Sun Basket, a California based company... Continue Reading →
