holidays

That seemed to be the theme for this weekend…rest and relaxation, and lots of it. I told Jeff I didn’t want to plan much of anything–I wanted a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of time and that’s exactly what we did. Friday night, the boy cooked us a marvelous dinner…grilled mahi and steamed mussels and it was fantabulous–he assures me […]

I had a few of my blogging friends email me asking for suggestions on what to cook for Easter and how to host a fun get-together for friends/family after church activities…with Easter Sunday just a week and a half away, here are some of my favorite ideas I’ve found {and yes, included links to the actual […]
