During busy weeks, sometimes breakfast is fast and on the go. A highly processed carbohydrate in a foil wrapper. If I plan well, usually it will at least accompany an apple or banana. But this is a much better way to enjoy fruit in the morning. Kind of smoothie-like, except, this is meant for a leisurely morning savored slowly, seated at at breakfast table and sipped with a spoon instead of a straw.
It is interesting to me to find out what people like to collect when they travel. All the tourist hot spots are filled with tchotchke shops peddling magnets, spoons, thimbles and snow globes. Photos are always the best souvenir, and I also like to collect Christmas ornaments so that at the end of the year [...]

At the end of Thanksgiving weekend, I hold onto the last little bits of fall before the holidays kick in. It always seems that Christmas comes too early. Even though Winter doesn't "officially" begin until December 21st ... snowflakes already grace store windows as garland. So, in my last little ode to fall, I went on [...]

Coffee isn't just a beverage. It's an experience. The nutty smell of fresh grounds, the bubbling sound of it percolating in a coffee pot, and that first sip.

I had lunch with my friend Jimmy recently where we were both talking about our marathon/half-marathon training schedules. I made the decision to make running a habit when I started baking and re-creating these fabulous (but sometimes fattening) breakfast recipes from Inns. Jimmy decided to start running when his roommate moved in. You see, she's [...]

Considering it is still hotter than a fresh biscuit here in Florida, and I needed an instant way to cool off. As much as I'd like to have a hot cup of coffee or cocoa outside on my deck, that usually only happens inside with the air cranked up. These simple little drinks are much better [...]

I'm a girlie girl. I can't look my food in the eye. I was even considering buying a barbie pink grill yesterday ... and unless my foodie friends came over it would probably only see vegetables. So ... I tackled the one recipe that didn't involve prepping fresh fish or smoking ribs (although I'll love eating them both!). Pumpkin Mango Soup.

The best thing about a dinner soiree at a b&b is that you can drink all the wine you want ... and then walk to bed. Or crawl. Maybe shuffle and sway? In any case, our tummies were so full of food by the end of the night that it absorbed the buzz. Sinful, I know.
