Good evening.  It's getting a bit late but I wanted to share tonight's dinner.  I made Rigatoni Peperonata from the August issue of Real Simple.  It. Was. So. Good. It was very easy to pull together.  It does require chopping three bell peppers but that went a lot faster than I expected.  And make sure… Continue reading Rigatoni Peperona-ta-ta

Welcome Sunday!  I hope everyone is having a nice and relaxing day.  I am really glad I was motivated to get some yard work done yesterday morning because it started raining in the afternoon.  Then the rain turned into a thunderstorm which soaked everything.  I was going to go out and work in the garden… Continue reading Chocolate & Zucchini Team Up

So I now have… Continue reading Poison Ivy

So one of the things I love about having my blog on WordPress is that I get to see the search terms that lead people to my blog.  As I mentioned the other day, I've been getting a lot of hits on zucchini, likely because people are harvesting truckloads of zucchini from their gardens and wondering… Continue reading I Answer Your Searches
