Another Halloween Birthday!
Being that Tina’s birthday is in Halloween, I generally celebrate by making her a Halloween themed Drawer Card. This year is no exception.
Happy Birthday, Tina!
Blackberry Cold Cure


Joe came down with a doozy of a head cold over the weekend – poor guy was either sneezing or sleeping. Blackberries + ginger + lemon juice = a soothing tea which is a multiple immune booster. It’s easy to make, all of the ingredients go into one pan. You can drink it hot, or let it cool down and add ice. Continue reading
Red Lentil Soup

The weekend was rain, rain, and more rain. We’re experiencing a Nor’easter on the east coast. Of course, nothing like what the poor folks in shore towns are experiencing – the flooding is unbelievable. You know it’s bad when you’re getting around town in a kayak.
So, Saturday night’s dinner was grilled cheese with tomatoes and red lentil soup. Perfect soup to stave off the chill and it comes together rather quickly. Lentils contain protein, potassium, folate, and plenty of dietary fiber – it’s good and good for you! Continue reading

Greek Yogurt Plum Cake


I love baking cakes with Greek yogurt, it adds a wonderful flavor and makes the cake moist. I used Italian plums, also known as Empress plums – usually available from August to September. While you can eat these raw like any other stone fruit, they are best cooked. This is an easy cake – one bowl, no mixer needed, and can be put together quickly and served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream after dinner! Continue reading
