 “Would you like a homemade waffle? ” This is what I was asked every other morning at the Inn where I spent the last week of my vacation. Hmmm, homemade? Well within seconds—and I mean seconds, a steaming, perfect waffle would appear! Maybe they meant ‘freshly made?’ It turned out that they were […]  Fall is in the air. When I wake up in the morning it’s still dark, and the air is getting cooler. There have been days when I turn off my central air, and open my windows and enjoy the cool breeze through my house. I know that many people say they like fall best, but […]  I don’t know what I was thinking, I probably wasn’t thinking at all, but on Sunday I decided to make my debut in canning by making pickled beets and lemon curd in one afternoon! I owe this inspiration to my recent meeting with Marisa McClellan author of the blog and cookbook Food in Jars . I saw […]
 Last week I decided to splurge and went to my favorite local bakery Artisan Boulanger Patisserie, in the East Passyunk neighborhood of Philadelphia, and found a Philadelphia Cronut!

Rhonda @wine-y wife - I love it Nancy! You are right on. I was feeling lazy the other night and told my husband I wanted to go out for dinner.

And for more complicated meals, the ones that take longer to put together, like enchiladas and lasagna, many times I make a double batch and freeze one batch. It’s nice to have the convenience of a freezer meal occasionally, but still deliciously made to our tastes with quality ingredients.
Some of my favorite times are my boys sitting on stools by the kitchen, chatting while watching me, and sometimes helping me cook!
