Warrior Series – Intro

I dedicate this series of posts to my friends and loved ones who have lost their battle, and even more so to those who are still in the fight. You are all true Warriors! Earlier this year, I lost another friend to cancer. She fought a very brave battle. After first...

Relaxing – Part 2

Continuing from Part 1 of this series on Relaxing. In this series, I am sharing techniques that I use for myself to deal with stressful or difficult periods. Once again, I’d like to emphasize that I am not offering medical advice to anyone. I am...

Relaxing – Part 1

Broccoli Hot Water Cornbread

When I posted the Broccoli Potato Soup recipe, I challenged you to not to eat it all. This recipe is why. I have to admit, I was trying to be a bit sneaky, and trying to find a way to slip some veggies to my daughter. Since she loves Hot Water Cornbread, I thought...

This recipe resulted from a freezer full of frozen broccoli! Why did I have a freezer full of frozen broccoli? That is a topic for another post. 🙂 Anyhow, I was trying to  think of creative ways to prepare it. Here’s one of my creations. Broccoli Potato Soup...
