Oh-la-la! Chocolate and Bailey’s – the perfect pair for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert! When I was thinking of a dessert for a St. Patrick’s Day dinner I immediately thought of Irish Cream! I love a glass of Bailey’s on the rocks for an after dinner dessert drink. Yum! But rather than passing out a …
When my husband and I traveled to Ireland I was surprised to find that the Emerald Island is a foodie’s delight! Before my visit I associated Ireland with Corned Beef & Cabbage and lots of potatoes. Never in my wildest thoughts did I ever think about all of the delicious fish they might enjoy. I …
It seems that to many people St. Patrick’s Day and Corned Beef and Cabbage are synonymous. Now, I like corned beef, but it is not my first choice for a traditional Irish meal. I prefer a nice hearty beef and Guinness stew! When we traveled to Ireland, beef and lamb stews were on many, many …
We love, love, love this chopped veggie salad dressing in our family. It has been a family favorite for close to two decades! I first had salad topped with this dressing at my aunt’s home in Florida, and she served it in a beautiful tall glass canister. I copied that idea from her as well. …

The ABCs of my life was a post I started over a year ago – just something to sit and write about as I reflect on who I am and what currently makes up my life. I hope you enjoy this read, and perhaps you will get to know me just a little bit more. …
We thoroughly enjoyed watching the Oscars last night. From the opening song, Can’t Stop the Feeling, to the ending snafu of naming the wrong film for best picture – the night was another classic for the books. This one will go down in the history books as being the first time ever that a wrong …
The Oscars will be here in just a few short days, and I am busy planning my party menu. I have not seen all of the movies that are up for best picture yet. I just have two more to see, and I plan on watching them by Sunday afternoon. The ones that I have seen? …
