The night GB’s Kitchen became Desperation Diner, a true story. I’ve been on a mission for the last several months to rein in our grocery budget. I’m such a foodie! I love food, love to cook, love to eat, love to feed people, are you with me? I love having […]
One Taste Of This Bread And It Will Be Loaf At First Bite I got my first poppy seed bread recipe from my sister-in-law Margaret who is a fantastic cook. Long ago, she introduced me to this moist, indescribably yummy treat. But this recipe? It’s got an “it factor” with […]
“The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month.” Henry Van Dyke Who’s Ready For Spring? Me! Me! Oh my stars I’m ready! And I’m herding Mother Nature along to deliver as if my puny efforts will […]
This mouthwatering bacon-wrapped chicken recipe has been around for a long time. It’s hard to go wrong when you start with skinless boneless chicken breast, right? When you wrap every piece of chicken in bacon, it gets even better. Do you agree? The small amount of dried beef in the […]

Savoring some one-on-one time with someone who goes back with me a long, long time. Like so long ago we sewed clothes for Barbie when she came dressed in only her iconic 60’s black and white v-striped swimsuit. (Very slimming!) Like learning dance steps to a 45, stocking footed, on […]
Zucchini Bread made with real butter trumps every recipe out there for the best flavor and texture! Because we all know, nearly everything tastes better with butter. There’s a joke that goes around in rural Nebraska about this time every summer. Folks are warned not to leave their cars unlocked […]
Chicken salad and luncheons go together like spring and daffodils. This time around, spring seems to hold more promise than ever before as we stumble out of the pandemic’s dark days and into the blue skies and sunshine. Years ago, our family ran a gift shop on the old tree-lined […]
