    For my son’s first Cub Scout camp out, all the families were asked to bring a dessert to share. (Of course, I was wondering what happened to s’mores, but then I decided that maybe that was a Girl Scout thing.) Anyhow, I remembered some cute bear brownie treats I had made for the kids in…

    Snacking gets a bad rap… because it is most often junk that we snack on. But if you change that to healthy snacks, and plan for them, you could actually be doing your body a favor. At Weight Watchers, they suggest you eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. And I would bet…

    I don’t know about you, but when I bake, my fingers often just happen to fall into the batter or frosting or dip for just one lick. How else could I better slide the rest of it in there without my fingers? (Never mind that a spatula would do the trick, my fingers are right…

Since I cannot invite you all into my home twice a month for dinner, wine, prayer and fantastic conversation, I thought I’d at least virtually invite you for conversation, if you’d like.
