Smashing Pumpkin…

Sometimes, as a food blogger, you just have to suck it up and take a “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” approach. Today, that approach has me bringing you some pumpkin recipes.  I know….I know….but you always hurt the ones you love, right?  I mean, who am I to buck tradition?  Who am I […]

Ice Cream Weather Is Here! Grab A Sweater!

As cooler weather has started blowing in, everyone is extolling the virtues of stew, chili, and pots of soup.  And the folks that aren’t cooking those, are cooking apple this and pumpkin that.  What’s wrong with that, you ask?

Faith ‘N Begorrah…You’ll Be Wearin’ The Green Shoes

As Saint Patrick’s Day approaches, I wax nostalgic again…. I’ve written before about my Irish heritage–that being from my paternal Grandfather, and I’ve spoken of my Catholic School education. What I haven’t mentioned is that I got more exposure to my Irish heritage at school than at home.  Because nuns are from Ireland. All of them.  Seriously.  […]
