Lemon poppyseed donuts?
I mentioned yesterday, that I got a new cookbook for Christmas. As I was reading through it, I saw a recipe for baked donuts. I’ve made several variations and I love lemon poppyseed, so I set out to make them. One problem, I don’t have …
Artichoke/pesto/cheese bread
In my basket of goodies from My brother’s family, I got a jar of artichoke pesto spread. I like the flavors, but not chunky artichokes, so I was happy when I opened it up that it was a smooth spread. You could use it on …

More Sargento Cheese Coupons + recipes
My friends at Sargento would like 4 people to get coupons to try their cheese. One thing people think of when they are trying to lose weight, is to cut out real cheese by using fake cheese, or fat free cheese. I hate cheeses that …

I got home from work yesterday and had 3 boxes waiting for me. I knew what one was because my sister Biz told me already: Yippee!! Harry and David pears! As you can see, one has already been consumed. Then next 2 boxes? My friends …

Last week I mentioned my Mother-in-Law was very sick and in fading. She passed away yesterday just shy of her 87th birthday. On the one hand, I am glad she isn’t suffering, but it doesn’t make it easier to think she won’t be around anymore. …
