I love creating beautiful garden pots, and tuck them throughout my home landscape. Scrolling through hundreds of Pinterest pins during our long, and often dreary, Wisconsin winters carries me through until spring when I can get down to the business of planning and planting. Generally, our planting ... Read More about 10 Terrific Plants for Garden Pots
Getting Older: Where Did My Eyebrows Go?!
I came of age when skinny, over-plucked eyebrows were the style. Prior to that, I was the owner of a fine uni-brow. It took me years to have the courage to actually pluck all those unwanted hairs out; the pain and watery eyes were too much for me. I hadn’t heard about waxing, and I don’t even know ...

Getting Older: Choosing to Age Gracefully
“Do not regret getting older. It is a privilege denied to many.” ~Unknown I think of this quote so often as I find yet one more weird thing that changes as I get older. I’ve been surrounded by older adults pretty much my whole life. My mom, the youngest in her family, was 37 when I was born; my dad ... Read More about Getting Older: Choosing to Age Gracefully
Fab 5: My Favorites for Aging Gracefully
Just google "books on aging" and you'll pull down a huge number of books. The topic of aging is a HOT topic...seems no one wants to get old!

Visit Wisconsin: 10 Cool Things About Wisconsin….Besides Cows!
As a born and raised Wisconsinite, I sometimes get a little irritated….o.k., a lot irritated….when I’m watching TV programs that only portray Wisconsin as cow country.

Thai Beef & Broccoli with Peanut Sauce
I got on a bit of a peanut butter kick following a delicious Thai pizza featuring peanut sauce. I’m part of a Cooking with Friends group I launched (more on that another time), and we’d done a Pizza Throw-down. A friend, who’s a professional chef, made the peanut sauce and like a lot of chefs…is a ... Read More about Thai Beef & Broccoli with Peanut Sauce
Knock a Punch Brandy Slush
My sister stumbled…and I think quite literally…upon an awesome Brandy Slush recipe many moons ago that’s so good, I collect gallon-sized ice cream pails to make it for summer. Really, it’s delicious anytime, but there’s nothing better than an ice-cold, slushy drink on a hot summer day. I remember ... Read More about Knock a Punch Brandy Slush
Peanut Butter POW Bars
I had a bit of giggle fits after landing on a Facebook feed featuring Tweets about “weird” American foods. I really laughed when I read so many questioning the merits of peanut butter…..ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! How dare you question peanut butter! It is the quintessential pantry staple, always ready to ...

Getting Older: A Life Plan – It’s All About YOU!
Why is it people think nothing of spending time and money building legal and financial plans, but do nothing when it comes to a Life Plan? The financial plan gets all the attention, tweaks here and there – buy this, sell that; John’s in, Sally’s out. A will, trust, power of attorney, living will, ...

Stuffed Chicken Parmigiana
I’m not much of a veal parmigiana lover. My husband loves it and often orders it in restaurants. I do like chicken parmigiana, or chicken “parm” and it’s frankly pretty easy to make. But, when you want to kick it up a bit, us good old Wisconsin gals simply throw more cheese at it…as in ricotta ... Read More about Stuffed Chicken Parmigiana
