If you are expecting one of my healthy diet and healthier lifestyle posts, this isn’t it. No awesome recipes or more ways to sneak some spinach into your diet. Nope, this is one of my “Facing Challenges” or otherwise known as whiny posts. Why do I not feel better? Why am I not “cured” of… Read More Just Why?
I’m going straight into some recipes today. Two of them are Cookie and Kate and one from Joy Bauer. First up is Sun-Dried Tomato Fettuccine Alfredo with Spinach. This one is from the Love Real Food Cookbook page 154. I thought that the recipe was featured on the website as well, but the link to the… Read More Some Quick Recipes

This post belongs under the category “Aging Gracefully” since we all face dealing with the passing of those we love, especially as we grow older. Today would have been my mom’s 79th birthday. Birthdays… Read More Chasing rainbows
