Hi everyone. Hope you are enjoying this lovely day

wherever you are visiting from.

I am struggling to keep this blog going.  I work on it almost everyday and have posted over 1500 posts.

If you enjoy seeing it please show me a comment of some kind to give me a feedback on what you enjoy about this blog.

I’d appreciate any kind response. 

I started this blog with a great passion for baking and cooking handed down from generations of time spent with my grandmother and mother in their kitchens.

Please share this post and encourage those you share with to take a look at what I have to give to young and old alike and allow yourself some relax time to also see my travels and experiences from 2011.

I also share family time which is and will always be the most rewarding and fulfilling time through the years.

Thank you .

Christmas 2025

A great day in every way.  Missed our grandsons especially and their parents too but we FaceTimed so it was all good!

Today I’m staying in and cherishing every minute. 

 It’s good to take a day off from baking and cooking but what to eat??? lol  lots of cookies but it was a basic homemade gnocchi by our son and he didn’t allow for leftovers!!!!!

I made sauce with pork country style ribs, meatballs and a huge salad. 

The charcuterie board was basic but perfect. No big fuss this year and so we had more time to

Enjoy each other with conversation.

Our daughter and family 

Chestnuts too!

Giving thanks! 2025

Today we had an untraditional day after Thanksgiving lunch with our son and his family.  

To say I was thrilled would not be exaggerating.  We talked, ate noshies and subs and the conversation couldn't have been any better.  I love getting to know my granddaughters  better and better every year.  Their jobs. Their opinions .  Their adult lives.  So interesting!

Here’s a small example of the afternoon.

From my family to yours

Love,
