I received a bottle of Certified Organic Prairie Vodka for review, but was not compensated financially in any way. The opinions expressed are my own and are based solely on my experiences while recipe testing. Summer days mean warm delicious days. Swimming pools, beaches and lakes. Blenders making frozen drinks. Craving frozen lemonade on these perfectly sunny …
We have had summer guests, my B and B has been busy with cooking and cleaning and tour directing. The best part of being a tourist is doing all of the fun Maine things, like swimming and boating in our beautiful lake and having dinner parties every night! How many Lobster’s can you eat in …
Juicy sweet strawberries are in season now! I love to pick wild strawberries growing in my garden. In the early morning before the day warms up, I gently tiptoe through the strawberry patch. One strawberry for me, one strawberry for my basket. After my basket is full, I sprinkle them on my favorite French vanilla …
This is the first weekend that we have spent at home in weeks! It feels great just to putter around the house and garden and cook dinner’s on the grill. Easy, laid back, no stress, summer days, I can get used to this!!

Did you know that National Tapioca Pudding Day is on July 15? Tapioca Pudding has always been my favorite flavor of pudding since I was a kid. It isn’t overly sweet and is rich and creamy. I found the 6 packs at my local market and was thrilled because I can usually be overindulgent and …

It is so delicious with fresh picked Broccoli, crispy Hardwood Bacon, Crispy Gala Apples, Chopped Hazelnuts, Slivered Almonds, Cabot White Sharp Cheddar Cheese, Zippy Red Onion and Dried Cranberries. It’s like a Cobb salad but instead of …
This is a delicious and quick dessert that you can put together if you need a last-minute dessert for a get-together potluck, or if hubs need a dessert for work!
If I told you how much my son loves pie, you wouldn’t believe it. I usually have to double the recipe because he could eat a whole pie by himself, maybe this should have been one of those times…. This easy, luscious and creamy no bake pie with fresh strawberries and blueberries will be perfect …
