Roasted tomato, basil, and cheese crostini
These crostini’s are hands down, one of my favorite go-to recipes. They never disappoint and everyone loves them. Besides the fact they look downright delicious, they really are scrumptious!! The only thing I’ve done a little different is I added one fresh pressed garlic clove. The cheese mixture can be made ahead and kept…
Read MoreFall Clean up in the garden…..
Ok, just so you know, I realize the above picture does not look like summer is over, but….the flower garden is holding up it’s white flag….It has been a struggle, trying to decide whether to hang on or give up. Mother nature is signaling that it’s time to go to bed. 🙁 Some of…
Read MoreHollyhocks, Borage, and Erica……
About two years ago, I drove by a house that caught my attention. I immediately pulled over and looked longingly at its charm. Loved the house color and more importantly, the picket fence and hollyhocks that grew in front of it. Yellow hollyhocks. I’d never seen yellow ones. A few weeks later, I purposely drove…
Read MoreCream of Celery Soup
I decided to post this cream of celery soup for one because it delicious and for two because its pretty, isn’t it? Now I know pretty doesn’t count with a lot of people, especially if it doesn’t taste good! No amount of pretty is going to make something taste good. BUT, on the other hand,…
Read MoreSoup….can’t you just feel it coming??
Fall is definitely in the air here!! The days are less sunny and often downright rainy, the nights are much cooler, the flowers are fading, and leaves are falling. There is a fire in the wood stove most nights now. So I guess I should just embrace the fact that Fall is coming whether I’m…

Read MoreLazy Sunday….
Lazy Sunday. Early coffee, late breakfast, jammies… possibly all day. Football (yay!), a fire in the woodstove just to take the chill off, and spending more time than what one should on the computer catching up with all the hub-bub of the week. It is cool and rainy outside and all those things just kinda…
Read MoreJust thoughts…….
As you may be able to tell from my recent posts, when it comes time to relax we either find ourselves on the deck or in the front yard. Both are enjoyable for different reasons and sometimes we have a hard time choosing which place to be! Its even more delightful when someone comes by…
Read MoreThe porch….
A friend of mine gave me this a couple of years ago to hang on our porch/deck. I love what it says and we actually DO whats on there! Except for the rocking chair part….. We don’t have one of those yet, but it sure sounds good. 🙂

Omg….. I found this spice at Trader Joe’s called chili lime seasoning and it is wonderful on shrimp….. especially done on the BBQ!! Simply skewer the shrimp, brush with olive oil,, and generously sprinkle this wonderful spice on both sides. BBQ at around 400 on both sides for about 3 min each or until just…
