With the onset of winter weather, soup is my meal of choice. There is something about a hearty bowl of soup that nourishes not only the body, but feeds the soul.
This soup is one of my all-time favorites – filled with veggies, meatballs, pasta and a flavorful broth – truly comfort in a bowl!

I am not, by nature, a fish eater. For years, as a child, the mention of fish for dinner was enough to bring me to tears. Fortunately, time has brought me to my senses.

A wedding day is a beautiful thing. So glad to have been a part of this beautiful fall wedding.
Congratulations to the bride and groom! Wishing you many years of love and happiness.
Have you ever wondered why spices come in such small containers? Although the larger containers may be a better value, unless you do a great deal of cooking – and use a lot of spice, you will be throwing your money away! That’s because ground spices are at their best and most potent flavor only for about 6 months after being opened. [Continue Reading …]
