Bio
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a writer. I tend to see life as a series of snapshots and magical moments. My six children are grown now, I am retired, and I would dearly love to pursue my love of the written word.

Mason Jar CakesTop Story - September 2018
This recipe is one of my favorites because it is so easy, and yet so versatile. When I moved into my new house I found a ton of brand new mason jars in the basement. My first thought was to use these cute little jars for crafting ideas. But, in all reality, I am a really unmotivated crafter. It’s one of those situations where I see a cute craft idea and try to copy it, but my end result never quite lives up to the real thing. Basically, my granddaughter, who is in kindergarten does a much better job.

Caramel Apple Fudge
I adore fudge. But I also hate to cook... and it is massively expensive to buy it pre-made. I just can’t justify using my weekly gas money to indulge my sugar needy palate for the few minutes it takes me to devour four pieces. Plus, there is that lingering guilty feeling about the calories involved and the fact that fudge is basically all sugar.

The Autumn Equinox
The equinoxes are the solstices are harbingers of the changing of the seasons. Twice a year the earth tilts to a right angle to the sun and the sun is directly over the equator. Basically this configuration of earth and sun means that both hemispheres receive almost the same amount of light as they do dark.

Rice Bran and Cancer
There is a little substance called inositol that has been in the news lately as a potential cure for cancer. Known more commonly as IP6, it is composed of an inositol sugar molecule (one of the B vitamins) with six phosphate groups attached. This tiny little treasure naturally occurs in beans, whole grains, nuts, seeds, rice and wheat bran, corn and sesame. There are 650 mgs of IP6 in a half cup of whole kernel corn.

Almond Joy Cookies
I love chocolate, I love candy bars, and I love cookies! But, most of all I love easy to make cookies hot out of the oven. I admit that I am really pretty lazy when it comes to baking. I don't get that trait from my mom. I remember her bustling around in her apron mixing and sifting. I am a child of the 50s so a lot of what we take for granted these days in terms of ease of baking simply did not exist as yet.

Whipped Pumpkin Pie
I love pumpkin pie. But, whipped pumpkin pie takes a good thing and makes it totally awesome! A friend of mine brought this to Thanksgiving dinner and it was the hit of the party. I was amazed at how easy it was to make... especially using a pre-made graham pie crust.
