Happy New Year 2015!
Happy New Year All! It’s been quite a year for me, having moved back from the UK after 12 years. It has been quite an adjustment, and I have just moved again. I am settled a bit more now, in a house with a better kitchen than the apartment we moved from, and I…
A new start in Denver
It has been awhile, I know. I recently received the renewal notice for my website and had a big decision to make. Do I renew or let it lapse and disappear from the blogosphere? I realized that I did miss blogging, but it was the regular 3 times a week that I did not miss….
Summertime smoothies
In the UK at the moment we are blessed with some phenomenal weather. The likes of which we haven’t seen in several years. This time last year it was raining non-stop and we were all bundled up and planning a move to anywhere with sunshine. This year it is gloriously sunny and warm at the…
Jubilee Strawberries and Strawberry Bread Recipe
I was recently invited (along with a lovely group of bloggers and a journalist) by the nice folks at Cirkle to travel to Kelsey Farm and check out their fruit-growing operation.

The leaves are changing..easy soda bread and a jewel tone autumnal salad
Well it is well and truly fall in the UK, heck it is down right chilly out. I had to venture into the attic this weekend to get my winter coats out. I have been clearing the garden out an harvesting the last of my squash to store away for future use. I also made…
Slow cooker apple butter
Fall is well and truly here. As I write this, it is overcast and rainy out, and I am bundled up in my pink fuzzy sweater on the most comfy seat in the house in my lavender office in front of the radiator. Oh yes, and my house smells so darn good right now! The…
