- Sunshine on My Shoulders January 10, 2014I’ve been busy, and it hasn’t had anything to do with cooking. See that picture? That’s Rhonda and our dusty dogs – Ellie, Bella, and Leroy hiking in the high desert outside of town this week. The temperatures have been mild – in the 30’s & 4o’s during the day – and that bright New Mexico ...
- Christmas December 23, 2013When I say Christmas you probably think of sweets, sparkles, Santa, baking, gathering, sharing, and probably even yard blow-up decorations, (especially if you live in Dallas, those blow up things are EVERYWHERE).
