I am participating in Menu Plan Monday at orgjunkie.com, but unlike most of the other participants who plan their menus and post them that week, I’m always a bit behind, and I post my menus a week later. I do this so that I can let you know if I try a new recipe and...

Last month I told you how much I adore the mothers in my life, and now I want to tell you about the fabulous fathers I’ve had in my life. The Fathers in My Life :: Michael ~ First let me tell you about my husband Michael, the father of our four children. He is...
