hey, sunshine.

this morning we had to be up at (early enough to capture this stunning sunrise) to get to yet another doctor’s appointment. (it’s been one of those weeks.) since we were up, though, we made the most of it. we stopped at a local bakery and grabbed some treats; headed down to the Cleveland Metroparks and […]

facing the cold with photography and chocolate cake.

  We’ve been lucky so far this year in Ohio with the weather, but this week we got hit with some f-f-f-freezing cold. So, what’s a good Cleveland girl to do? Go to the beach, of course. I wasn’t going to pass up the sunny day, even though it was only 14 degrees out, to […]

comforting cornbread.

  It used to be when I was turning the corner of recovering from something, be it a migraine, or a bout of the flu, or a bad personal experience,  I knew I was getting better when I would have a craving for one thing. Spaghetti and meat sauce from a certain local Italian eatery. […]

a carnival and some blueberries.

This weekend started out like any other, no real fun plans; until I remembered that within walking distance of our new apartment was the annual city carnival. Funnel cakes! (no!) Beer tent! (no!) Corn Dogs! (no!) But we could ride the ferris wheel…eat kettle corn and have some fresh lemonade, all of which we did. After […]

this tropical heat calls for some coconut.

I’ve been holed up in my cement tower (aka my 4th floor apartment, which thankfully includes all the air conditioning my little bones can handle) but there’s a rumor going around that it’s hot out. I actually verified this by stepping out onto my balcony to water the plants. Tropical is how I would describe […]

those happy toaster treats.

My daughter, who also has a gluten allergy, sent me a text a few weeks ago with many very sad-faced emoticons. She just had to endure the torture of toasting a brown sugar-cinnamon pop tart for the child she is babysitting for. Toast it, and then not be able to eat it. At one point […]

the graduation party.

My son graduated from college this month, and in the midst of everything going on we threw together a lovely little party. It was a relaxed, casual gathering with close friends and family and good food. I served my grandma’s ‘famous’ bbq chicken, which is an oil and vinegar based marinade with lots of pepper […]

cherry crunch and recipe books.

I’ve been making this dessert since I was in high school. I imagine the recipe was cut from the inside of the Land O’Lakes butter box, taped to my mom’s recipe book, and then I swiped it when I moved out, and taped it to my well-worn recipe book. do people even use recipe books […]
