Marble House and Milestone Birthdays…

August has been such a busy month for me that I’m still in a state of disbelief that it’s almost over. I’ve had to remind myself a few times in recent weeks that it’s perfectly acceptable to stop and take a breath or a break from time to time – but I’ve been having so […]

Summer Snacks: Peach Cobbler and Brie Dip

I want to preface this post by saying don’t let the photos fool you! While this dish may not photograph as well as some of the other things I’ve prepared in the past, and is similar to an odd-looking-but-outstanding cranberry dip I shared a couple of years ago, this one is a keeper for the […]

“Hot summer nights, mid-July- when you and I were forever wild…” I cannot believe that we’re getting ready to leap into August and, not too long after that, begin winding down the 2025 Summer season. What an incredible time of year this has been so far – with the month of July truly encapsulating all […]

Summer Sides: Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple

When it comes to snacking or appetizers, I’m a big fan of combining unexpected tastes, like either sweet or citrus with more savory and salty flavors. Tortilla chips with lime? The best. Mango Habanero sauces and salsa? Absolutely – and for some reason those combinations always taste particularly amazing during the Summer months! This past […]
