I had to take a slight break from posting the past couple of weeks. I managed to come down with the respiratory flu.  Thank goodness I was ready for it from my previous post.  Still, it was no picnic!  I’m thrilled to be back to share some game day...

Flu Season is here!!! Monday night my daughter called at almost midnight from Minneapolis. “Mom I’m so sick!” As she described in vivid detail waking me out of a deep sleep, my own stomach started feeling queasy. 

Now that the New Year is here it’s important to learn ways you can be safe in the kitchen.  For those seasoned cooks it’s also important that you don’t forget some of the most simple tricks & tips. 

What is it about the holidays that makes all the work you’ve put into eating healthy all year suddenly disappear? I suppose we all deserve to splurge occasionally, and enjoy the foods put in front of us that look inviting. 

The holidays are here and it’s the ideal time to pull out all the stops when it comes to cooking for family and friends.  Forget the typical fare, cook something you can truly be proud of, and have all those indulging rave about! 

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Thanksgiving, filled with love, laughter and good times with family and friends.  This year we celebrated at our sons home and we had quite the feast! 

Have you ever created something that you thought was so beautiful you couldn’t believe you made it?  That’s how I feel about my Holiday Bundt Cake with Sugared Cranberries!  This bundt cake isn’t just stunning to look at but tastes incredibly delicious too! 

I can’t believe I’ve never posted my Sweet Potato Casserole recipe after years of making it.  I suppose since I only make it once a year it’s too late to share my recipe once Thanksgiving has arrived.
