During the Fall/Winter seasons it is our family’s tradition to prepare stocks and a special Italian sauce (to be given in a later post). Since both take at least 8 hours we try to prepare at least one type of stock and sauce on the same day. I remember when...

It goes without saying Sydney is my heart and soul. I remember when she was born, the nurse took her off my stomach (just to clean her). It was in that moment I had an epiphany ..that this tiny little newborn owned my heart. DF was just starting his career, while we...

One of the mine and Sydney’s favorite Fall/Winter drinks is hot apple cider; I buy it by the gallons. This past Saturday I awoke to snow and the temperature had fallen 25 degrees (quite common for Colorado). I bought 4 gallons of apple cider, yes, I went a tad...

Ever since Sydney was young (about 2 years old) Monday night has been our family’s Shrimp Fajita Night. My husband, DF, is a workaholic, but I have always insisted we have dinner as a family. Anyone with young children knows how hard it can be to have their...

Sydney and I had been working with more than 360 grams/a dozen egg whites, it would have been a shame to waste the all those yolks. I generally save them for another day, but these eggs happened to be freshly laid that day. I suggested we whip up some banana pudding;...
