Suburban Spring Flowers

Spring arrived almost a month ago, but you would not know that by looking at my flower garden.  With the cold spells, and even snow during the end of March and beginning of April, these delicate plants are having a hard time coming to full bloom.

The two unseasonably warm days of over 70 degrees F we recently enjoyed, really had a positive effect on the plants, and helped them open up a little more.

Today I will share a few of my photos I captured of the current blooms.

French Onion Soup – Recipe

My husband and I love French Onion Soup, however, the ones we have been sampling in our local restaurants, are either too salty or quite bitter tasting.

I have been researching different recipes online to come up with one to try at home, which will closely match the taste we savor from upstate New York.

Valentine Cookies – Recipe

Roses and chocolates are most popular to impress your Special Valentine with, but these heart-shaped cookies are so tempting and delicious…:-), and so simple to make.

Chicken Francaise – Low Fat Recipe

Skinless chicken breast meat is so wonderful to cook with since there are myriad ways to prepare it while keeping it low-fat and healthful.

This recipe would easily fit into the Fat Smash Diet menu, as well as Weight Watchers, and I am sure for many others.

Hanukkah Celebration

During my working years, I have built beautiful friendships with many of my Jewish colleagues.  Now that we are retired, and our lifestyles have changed, it is so wonderful to still keep in touch.  

Today at sundown they will begin their Hanukkah celebration with friends and family.
