I had the most wonderful, busy weekend with my husband, daughter, son and our future daughter-in law. We shopped for a wedding dress, went on an engagement photo shoot (I got to hold the flash, tripod and reflectors), we carved pumpkins, made a GIANT pot of chili (recipe on Wednesday), and I made a pumpkin pie! The only thing I didn’t get done was my Monday morning pie post ... and some . . . Continue Reading

Happy Birthday Patrick! My oldest is 25 years old today. The years are just flying by! Did you know young adults don't have a fully formed brain until they reach 25? I'm sure it's not a magical aha moment - hey I'm 25 and my brain is done growing. But 25 is a time in your life that you start to realize you're no longer the teenager, or the little kid. You're an adult well on your . . . Continue Reading
No. 40 – Blueberry Goat Cheese Pie
Have you ever watched Triple D on the Food Network? Triple D is short for Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. My husband and I are both happy to watch it every chance we get. One evening my husband mentioned a pie that was featured from a restaurant in Indianapolis. He described it to me and at first I didn't think much of it. Then I saw the episode and decided we had to try this pie. . . . Continue Reading
No. 38 – Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Pie
Hello blogger friends! Tricia here posting from the beaches of the Outer Banks, NC. We're staying in the exact same area where the hurricane came through not 3 weeks ago. I'm surprised how fast they've recovered and cleaned up. Some of the houses still show signs of Irene's attitude but the only signs the storm came through is the piles of brush and limbs. . . .

Sticky Toffee Pudding Apple Pie
This is by far the most decadent, interesting, time consuming, messiest, and stickiest pie I have ever made. I don't mean to imply that it's not good. It's over the top sweet, rich, and maybe even complicated, but traveling husband said it tastes absolutely incredible. I am surprised how much the tartness of the apples and the apple flavor come through. I thought it might be . . . Continue Reading

Chocolate Birthday Cake
You know yesterday was a strange day. I had several things happen for the first time ever. One event you may have heard of was the earthquake. The epicenter is about 15 miles from my office in Spotsylvania County Virginia, a few miles from Fredericksburg. I was standing in the front office talking to a co-worker when the building started to shake. When it didn't stop shaking, and . . . Continue Reading

He still enjoys many lasting friendships from those early days and one such favorite 'radio star' is Beth Green. Beth is a lovely person inside and out, and she's also a talented entertainer, seamstress, blogger, singer (she sang . . . Continue Reading
