Sweet and Spicy Spinach Salad with Maple Cider Vinaigrette

Here in the South we are slowly moving into Autumn, but I feel like Mother Nature is taking her sweet time with this season change!  The leaves are just starting to turn, but it is still warm enough to swim in our pool.  Well, maybe not for me ( I am a wimp), but my boys are still enjoying an after school dip.    Last week I had some friends over to swim and served this Autumn

These cute lemon meltaways are like one last HURRAH to the sunny and bright days of summer!  As much as I really want to start making pumpkin bread, soups and apple crisps, here in the South it is really still Summer.  Where I live, September is humid and hot (in the 90s), and we are in our pool almost every afternoon when school lets out.  I think Autumn  officially starts during the 3rd week of

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
