I know, the ‘Big Game’ is this weekend … but I have a shocking confession to make. I kind of don’t like football. We are a hockey family which means we love the quick pace, the action, the inevitable bout of teeth shattering fisticuffs, and the blare of the goal horn when someone tips the [...]

There is something magic about food. The last few weeks have been somewhat difficult for me. Nothing too extreme, but I have had a fair amount of work related stress, the stress of Christmas Day, and I am coming up on my first deadline for the next book. Needless to say, I have been a [...]

Get ready, I am going to get my whine on. I know it is the holidays, but I am not feeling it. First off, my tree is 99% decorated. I am afraid of heights, and my tree requires the use of a ladder to decorate the top. I have not screwed up my courage (or [...]

I’m not going to lie … this is a highfalutin fruit cake. Every year I make a fruit cake. I find I really like them around the holidays. There is something comforting about a booze soaked slice of cake which has been festooned with fruits and nuts. (Yes, I said festooned. It is a great [...]

It is almost time for the BEST part of Thanksgiving. If you would guess the big meal itself you would only be half right. My favorite part of this feasting holiday would be the day AFTER the big event when the left-overs roam free! I love left-overs more than the actual meal because they can [...]

I love the side dishes served for Thanksgiving better the turkey. Yep, I’m the one who piles on the stuffing, scoops up the sweet potatoes, and gets the greediest portion of green beans. For me turkey is better the next day in sandwiches, casseroles, or chopped up and cooked into soups. This is one meal [...]
