A while back I made a beautiful and yummy dish called Triple Greens Frittata. When I posted the recipe with pictures, I had a friend Sheila decide that she needed to send me a new pan! Yep, you got it – a new Pampered Chef pan arrived shortly after that post. When she saw my recipe and …
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. It will be a busy weekend in our home. Four kids home, one with a friend visiting, a BBQ lunch Saturday, Junior Prom, and then a large gathering of friends and family heading to the ballpark on Sunday to watch the Sacramento River Cats. I am very excited …
Earlier this week I was in the beautiful paradise known as Hawaii to participate in a triathlon. It was a very quick trip and I did miss a few days of work – three to be exact – more about the triathlon later. When I returned to work I found a big bag of Meyer lemons …

Seventeen Magazine published a recipe for Pumpkin Amaretto Cheesecake when I was a reader of Seventeen Magazine – let’s see – yes, that was decades ago! …
I love Bundt cakes! They are easy to pop out of a Bundt pan, sprinkle with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze and viola you have an impressive cake. There is no need to worry about leveling cake layers or dealing with gobs of frosting. Another wonderful aspect of Bundt cakes is that if …
