An Asian Pear Mojito reminds me of my time traveling through Southeast Asia. The flavor of the soju mixed sweet asian pears is the perfect combination of flavors that makes this the perfect cocktail no matter what the time of year. So a typical mojito is made with rum, limes, mint, sugar and soda water…
Over the years I have become quite skilled at making a skillet recipe in 30 minutes or less. I think its a skill that most moms have when they have small children at home. I also try to use recipes that only take a handful of ingredients. If the list of items needed becomes 10…
There are so many choices when it comes to weekend getaways. Coastal, mountains, plains, luxury, budget, camping, culture, shopping, the list of options goes on and on. I’m going to help you narrow down your choices. If you are an easy drive from Shenandoah Valley, VA you need to go there and, more importantly, I’m…
Chula Vista Resort in the Wisconsin Dells is one of the largest water parks in the region. In addition to having pools and slides they are also home to the largest indoor water roller coaster. Escaping to Chula Vista for a few days of relaxing fun was well worth the drive to the Wisconsin Dells….
Ahhh, how I love fall. It simply is the best time of the year, in my opinion. Falling leaves, sweaters, boots, tailgate games, apple and pumpkin farms, and, of course, hearty soups and stews. I love easy beef stew recipes, but I love them, even more, when they cook quickly. The biggest challenge to this…

Years ago I was in Toronto and came across a delicious food called poutine. Of course, with my heritage anything with potatoes is going to be a very tasty recipe–I thank my European heritage. At the time, I was completely clueless about it and that left me puzzled since I’m Canada’s neighbor. Needless to say,…
Mealthy recently introduced their brand new professional-grade immersion hand blender with a whisk, chopper, and a cup. They kindly sent me one to review. I instantly knew I would make my easy butternut squash soup recipe. This has become a family favorite, especially over the past year as we’ve been working harder on eating healthier….
As mentioned in a previous post my son Dylan, who is a fantastic chef, is currently out of work due to the pandemic shutdown. Since he has time he’s kindly been writing up recipes to share with us. Like most of us, he’s digging through the pantry trying to find what’s for dinner. In this…
