I was an inspired this past week by a Pinterest post.  When I saw the picture of  banana bread bars with icing…I COULD NOT WAIT to make them.  Click here for the original recipe!  I admit, I am impulsive at times.  Some may say that being impulsive is a bad thing BUT most of the […]

Hello…. The sun is shining but it is freeeeeeezing out.  Seriously.  Is it Spring yet? I can’t wait to get outside and putter in my garden.  I love Spring….or should I say, I love Spring when it is warm outside. Last night, I have a few girlfriends over just to catch up and do a […]

Spring is trying desperately to makes its full time appearance here in New England.  The snow is finally disappearing after what feels like an endless winter.

Russ and I bought a big bowl of chopped fruit salad from Whole Foods this past weekend.  Sometimes it can be less expensive to buy the fruit all diced and sliced then purchasing a bunch of the whole fruits and then doing all the work.   The bowl was full of cantaloupe, honeydew, kiwifruit, strawberries, […]
