Recipes that sing!

Garden of Joy

I've moved around the country a LOT! And I've tried growing several gardens in many different climates. When I was a young child in Minnesota my parents owned an extra lot of land next to our house and we grew a garden in the back yard.…

No-bake Brownie Bites

I can eat these all day guilt free! There isn't a single ingredient in this raw brownie that is bad for me. I tested some out on my sisters and they all wanted seconds. They taste amazing and so close to the real thing too! The best part about…

Watermelon Refresher

I had my first sip of Watermelon Water when I was living in San Antonio, Texas about 10 years ago. It was the middle of the summer and I was extremely thirsty.  I found it for sale by a vendor near the river walk during a festival.…

Watermelon Pizza

This is sooooo good! Is your mouth watering like mine is from looking at the picture? I tried it for the first time last summer and I couldn't get enough of it. I ate the whole thing and wanted more. I was anxiously waiting for the first watermelon…

Turkish Delight

Ok so this was my favorite stop we made in Turkey. I grew up reading the Chronicles of Narnia: and in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe", I learned about "Turkish delight".  In the book, the character named Edmund scarf's it down by…

Sicily

I was looking forward to visiting "God's Kitchen" on my trip. I had one of the best prepared fish I have ever tasted in my life. I tried swordfish, which was something our tour guide recommended and it was so delicious,  my mouth is watering…

Creamy Green Smoothie

I looked down at my green smoothie today and it was smiling back at me. So cute! Just in case you want the recipe for today's smoothie, here it is. Let me know if it smiles back at you! Oh and if you want to see me make one in person (I know...…

Zucchini blossom breakfast

This is my own creation I made it this morning for breakfast inspired by something I ate while in Italy. While it wasn't identical to what I ate on my trip, surprisingly it turned out good and was pretty easy to make.  You need: 2 bunches…

Landstuhl Lunch

I got to see downtown Landstuhl today. I ate a beautiful lunch! The quiche was cooked perfectly and the mouth watering salad was delicious.

Singin the Pink Lemon song

One of my favorite things about living in Arizona is being able to grow citrus trees. I picked my last pink lemon this morning. The skin is so cute, yellow with green stripes on the outside, and the inside has a pinkish hue. Lemons are a great…

Everybody wanna Chocolate

Who doesn't want Chocolate? I tried some chocolate from Julia Baker Confections for the first time this week. The first piece I tried was her french caramel truffle. It comes all wrapped up with a beautiful satin ribbon. I'm glad I took a picture…

Dinner Theatre

It was so fun to see a show at the dinner theatre this weekend. If you have one nearby I encourage you to attend a show. In some cases dinner is optional, but why not eat and enjoy great entertainment at the same time? It's like having cake…

Beat this - Beet Salad!

This Beet Salad is hard to beat! It has a lot of rhythm to it too! (Just teasing, I had to say that part about rhythm because this blog is mainly about music.)  I was sugar deprived (thankfully now) when I was a kid and I used…

Pizzeria and Accordion

I had a great time being entertained by an Italian accordion player on Friday night at a New York Delicatessen in Draper, Utah. He let me take a picture with him too. This sweet man plays beautiful music at this location every other Friday.…

Truly Soothing

I'm down to one of my very last cups of Postum... a sad day. I know I need to move on. This glass jar has been expired for a while now, but it still tastes great! I was so sad when I read in the newspaper that Kraft was going to discontinue…

Happy Thanksgiving

Cherry Pie made by my very own two hands with flaky butter crust is my favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving day...  of course it needs to be toped with real homemade WHOOPIN' CREAM! YUM! Everything from scratch is better. Happy Thanksgiving! Recipe 9…
