Some time ago I shared pictures from brunches attended by the ladies in my family along with a few friends. Last weekend my aunt hosted our brunch. Here are a few snapshots of some of the dishes she prepared. Gathering at the table on these Saturdays gives us an opportunity to talk about any and...

Carrot, Apple and Beet Juice

Carrot, Apple and Beet Juice

Eggs and toast for breakfast are great but sometimes a glass of juice is all I need.  My favorite combination is apple and carrot juice but I’m open to tossing in other fruits and veggies. My sister actually introduced me to juicing beets.  She had to be the one to do that though because I’m...
4 Reasons I Would Pack My Things and Move

4 Reasons I Would Pack My Things and Move

I’ve moved several times in my life and grew pretty accustomed to the “idea” of it early in my marriage.  Steeler Fan’s work required that we move every couple of years as he climbed the ladder.  Now that we’re years past all of that, I’ve grown to enjoy being in one place.  However, I would...
My Favorite Mexican Torte

My Favorite Mexican Torte

Chicken Sausage Linguine

Chicken Sausage Linguine

Hello, my name is Teresa and I laugh at my own jokes. It usually happens during some random light-hearted conversation with Steeler Fan. While we’re talking I say something that I think is funny. Not like ha ha that’s so funny But like laughing silently while biting your little pinky fingernail funny Then like Laughing...
