Oh my goodness! I wish you could have smelled my kitchen when this was in the oven! This is so moist and delicious! The streusel topping is amazing! I wanted to make a quick bread this weekend so I could try out my new Giada De Laurentis bread pan (below). Isn’t it nice? It worked [...]

It’s been one week since my son left on his voyage with Semester at Sea. He is scheduled to arrive in Hawaii tomorrow. This is a photo of the MV Explorer. It’s considered a “small” ship. Small enough to be bothered by big waves. This is what Matthew said about the waves: “There are two [...]

Sausage Vegetable Medley
My family loves sausages. There is a pizza restaurant nearby that makes the best homemade sausages. Once in a while, I’ll buy 3 - 4 pounds of fresh homemade sausages from them and freeze some of it to make this recipe or I’ll add the sausages to my spaghetti sauce. I used turkey sausages this [...]

Mohegan Chicken
Have you ever been to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT? I go a couple times a year. I actually won $800 on a slot machine last year! That was so much fun! Many years ago, I had a chicken dish at Mohegun Sun that was so good. I tried to recreate it as best [...]
