Another turkey week has come and gone, and The Thanksgiving Feast is no longer. But oh boy, was it good! My mom does a very classic Thanksgiving meal – roast turkey (no brining, no spatchcocking, no roulade, no complications – just perfectly roasted turkey), my Grandma’s amazing stuffing recipe, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce (homemade!), […] Read more…
Turkey Week is here, my friends … let the preparations commence and the feasting begin! My parents are hosting Thanksgiving, as usual, this year so I really don’t have much to get ready for.

Here’s the thing – ground turkey is like a blank slate. Go ahead and add spices and flavors because turkey […] Read more…
It’s a good Monday evening when I can have a grilled cheese sandwich for supper with Joe, finish my workout by 8 p.m., and tune in to The Voice while writing some new blog posts. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. 😉 This also made me happy this morning: Harvest time. This was […] Read more…
And that’s a wrap! Joe’s confirmation, that is. Three years of Bible study, small group sessions, sermon notes, and service projects and he has affirmed his faith and officially became an adult member of the church now. We’re obviously proud parents, although not necessarily because he completed all his requirements. That’s not surprising for Joe […] Read more…
