Happy 10th Blogoversary to me! This past pandemic year we have done so much cooking but WAY more baking. Since we couldn’t take a vacation, all summer long we based our meals on the food days. In addition to that, every Friday my younger son and I would make Cinnamon…

It’s winter in California which also means it’s citrus season! I guess that’s why January is National Citrus month. I love the lemons from friends and the oranges from my mom. What they all have in common is exceptional flavor. Lemon is something I enjoy from time to time. I’m…

Happy 9th Blogoversary to me! I thought it would be fun to post another “pie” for Pi Day. When I was growing up, my mom would make Chicken Pot Pie on occasion for dinner. She would use the Pillsbury Pie Crusts in the red box which made the “pie” look…

Happy New Year! When my kids were in kindergarten, they started getting red envelopes from friends with money inside for the Lunar New Year. The red symbolizes good luck and is to ward off evil spirits. In China, dumplings (potstickers) are served as the first meal of the year because…

Summer Salad Surprise Happy 1st day of Summer! I’m not a huge fan of summer. Yes, I know, I’m in the minority on that one. Hot long days just don’t excite me. But cold pasta salads that I can serve as a main meal make me happy. I like recipes…

There are about 8 different chocolate days “observed” each year. I’m not sure any other food gets so many days celebrated. I’m in! Chocolate is my all time favorite thing to eat. Oh, except for white chocolate which really isn’t chocolate at all. It will satisfy my craving in very…
