Start your day with doughnuts and friends

Take a little time in the morning to make up some fresh homemade doughnuts and herbal tea.  Then call up and friend or two to share it with and you will have the perfect start to a good day!

A Time for Comfort

As we come to grips on what happened in Tuscon with Rep. Gifford, and as we hear of the bad weather sweeping across most parts of the USA, let's take a moment and say a little prayer for all of those in need if we agree or disagree with them.  Afterwards, curl up in your favorite blanket and enjoy your life with a little comfort food.  My world is always better after laying on the sofa, wrapped in my fuzzy blanket and enjoying a huge bowl of Chilli.

Bigger is not always better

When planning your next party try serving bite size items instead of full size ones.  Not only does this give your guests something to talk about, it is also easier to serve.

The end of one fruit season, the beginning of another

Now that the holiday season is over, it's time to put the fruit cake away and eat the healthier version of fruit.

quick treat

When the girls drop by for a chat, serve up a slice of butter cake and mixed berries.  When baking, make an extra cake and freeze it and always keep frozen fruit on hand and this is something that's easy to make and can be on hand for an impromptu get together. 

Cupcakes

Question of the day:  Can anybody stay mad if there are cupcakes?  Next time you have a dispute with friends or family, drop by with cupcakes and a sincere apology and life will be good!

Make time for friends

As we enter 2011 make an honest effort to get together with friends at least once every three months.  It is easier than you think.  Pick someones home, everyone bring a snack and a good story.  PARTY'S ON!
