My Friends Flower Garden:

My good friend loves flowers and I do too! They almost look artificial but they're not!

Beautiful!

She has hanging baskets everywhere

Handy Kichen Tools: #2

Poultry scissors.. Love them!! Easier to handle chicken than with a knife...Just cut the unwanted skin etc. away

Silicone pastry brush. I like it better than a bristle brush..Easier to clean too!

Paring knife..I have several

Meat thermometer...Takes the concern out of cooking your meat/ chicken sufficiently.  Will show if your roast is  done.

Pancake flipper..You should have a large and small size.

Electric Knife.. I have had one for over 40 years..and still use it from carving roasts to slicing Biscotti..

I absolutely love these..One for flour, sugar and rice! No need to clutter your counter with a canister set..They fit easily in your cabinet..

The photos aren't the greatest but I was just starting so there is a lot to be learned in that are.  Enjoy!

Sharing my thoughts on my blog! Repost from 2011

I have been blogging  for approximately 4 months and feel myself wanting to expand my recipes in a lot of different areas.

 My taste buds are calling on me to venture out in other food areas.. I am still an Italian cook first and love my Slovakian  foods but I hope you'll continue to join me for some new food adventures. .

I recently posted my potato gnocchi recipe.  Mom's cappelletti and Nana's ravioli recipe will follow in October....

 you I would be delighted if you would follow me on this food journey!  I love comments so please feel free to post any comments..

You have inspired me to continue with this blog and I hope I have inspired you as well..  Happy Baking and Cooking!

Looking forward to spending more time wi in my kitchen,
M. J.
