I have a friend that makes the best jalapeño jelly, some heat a little sweet, an awesome combination. The best part about it is that she always gives me a couple jars for Christmas. My friends know me, food and wine, you can’t go wrong. I shared some of the jelly with another friend that…

I am never going to lose any weight. No matter how hard I try to start the day with the best intentions, something always sabotages me. Alright it’s me, I’m the saboteur, I admit it. I’m just weak. This morning I took a couple of chicken breasts out of the freezer and put them in…

White or red, there is no bias here. I love to drink both, I know call me crazy. A lot of people I know tell me they don’t like white wine only red and I always wonder why. There are so many different varieties of white wine and each has their own nuances and styles….

For Christmas a very dear friend sent me a beautiful basket with all kinds of goodies and five count them five bottles of Sterling Vineyards wine. I have never tasted any Sterling wines so this would be an adventure. There was a three bottle of red and two bottles of white wine. A Zinfandel, Cabernet,…

I seriously overate last night. I’m still recovering today and see about an hour on the elliptical. We have a tradition that for your birthday, you pick your menu and I will fix it for you. From the salad to the dessert whatever you want, I will fix it from scratch. Last night it was…

Today is New Year’s Eve and there are probably a gazillion parties planned for tonight. Not us, we will be long gone before midnight rolls around. Dead asleep I hope. I’m not much of a partier anyway. I am a true lightweight when it comes to alcohol and I really don’t need to plant myself…

What could be better than a nice tender prime rib dinner? Served rare of course. Well how about the perfect bottle of wine to go along? Too bad that didn’t happen this time. I roasted a small prime rib for the two of us and it turned out very tasty. I cut small slits in…

Christmas dinner was a bit different this year. Normally I fix lasagna or chicken parmesan with spaghetti, meatballs and all the fixings for Christmas dinner. It is quite a spread; everyone is in gastric overload by the time we are done. But this year, because I am still not one hundred percent from my surgery…

Winter has come to visit with a vengeance. Freezing rain, sleet and snow all in the same day. At least it happened on the weekend, so hopefully by Monday the road crews will have enough time to get the highways and side streets cleared off. It’s a good weekend to stay inside and eat comfort…

Last night we went to a sparkling wine tasting hosted by one of our local liquor stores. I had never been to a sparkling wine tasting and thought it would be fun. Champagne and sparkling wine is really hard for me to buy because for one we don’t drink much sparkling wine which makes it…
Today’s Wine Review
I take it all back. The other day I said how much I love the hustle and bustle of the holidays, but that was before we went to Toys R Us. That store is only for the strong at heart, not amateurs like Mitch and me. The store was packed and the game of the…

I love the holidays. The hustle and bustle, Christmas shopping and the holiday parties, all keep me hopping. I love baking all the different kinds of cookies, pies and cakes. I always tell myself I will just have one taste, but that turns into two and three and so on. I don’t love the weight…
