I sit here ready to type up this Christmas Karmels recipe of Gram's and my mind keeps wandering back to when I was a kid. When Gramma Wesa would come and take JUST ME for sleep-overs at her house! I cherish those moments with her... I remember the night she taught me about Lightning and Thunder during a storm and how to count to 10 between the FLASH and then comes the BANG!! … [Read more...]
Here's another recipe from the Penzeys Spices store in Boulder, Co. I liked this Soft Ginger Creams recipe and took some to my Bunco group last night... they all gave them 2 thumbs up!!

The only other time I'd been there was to run the Boulder/Boulder 10K back in … [Read more...]

I've used Rochelle's Potato Soup recipe of my sister-in-law's since my kids were little... they LOVE it! (we all love it!) It's pretty simple to throw together. We like to have Rochelle's Potato Soup in the winter when it's cold outside and just feel like snuggling up to a warm bowl of soup! It's great in bread bowls too... just the right consistency :) Thanks to Rochelle for … [Read more...]
