We celebrated our latest wedding anniversary by having dinner at a new restaurant here in Lexington called The Lockbox.  It is located in the 21C boutique hotel/art museum.  I am a one-drink girl, and because of that, I like to make the cocktail or glass of wine that I drink before a dinner something special.  […]

Hi everyone.  Mom and I have been publishing a recipe on Fridays for almost the entire five years that we have been writing our blog.  We have quite a few stored away in the archives, and we thought it might be good to pull out some for you that you might like to serve this […]

Mr. Right and I love having brunch after mass on Sunday mornings.  Sometimes we stop by a local restaurant on our walk home , but most of the time, I like to prepare it myself.  It’s important to me to mix it up every week so that brunch doesn’t become monotonous.  I’ll assemble a frittata, […]

The first time I had avocado salad was on a trip we took to Laos.  We were in a little village that was built on stilts over a lake, and we had to take a boat to get to it.  The salad was so fresh and delicious that I decided I would figure out how […]

Happy Friday, everyone.  Did you know that it’s National Tea Day on June 10?  How did we come up with that one?  Don’t get me wrong.  I am totally addicted to my three cups a day, plus some iced tea in the hot months.  That being said, we are reminding you of an oldie but […]

Today Mr.Right and I are celebrating our anniversary, and I have a special dessert for him.  He absolutely loves red velvet cake, and I absolutely don’t love making it.  For all of the years we have been married, I have made a red velvet cake from scratch, and it never seems to turn out looking […]

With the holiday week-end upon us, you are probably on the look-out for some dessert recipes to serve your friends and family.  We love serving fruit cobblers and crisps.  They are easy to assemble, can be made ahead, can be served with ice cream or whipped cream to make them even yummier, and they use […]

Spiralized vegetables have been a hot item this year.  Have you tried them?  I have been on a really healthy food plan since the new year, and spiralized vegetables have become part of our meal rotation.  I have a Kitchenaid mixer, and Yankee surprised me with this spiralizer attachment one afternoon for no reason at […]

The combo of ginger and lemon in a shortbread cookie is a pleasant surprise.  I made a batch of these goodies on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, and along with a cup of tea, they were a true afternoon delight.  The ginger makes them a great cookie for cool weather, and the freshness of lemon makes […]

Here in Kentucky, there is a delicious pie that we like to eat on Derby Day, which is tomorrow in case you haven’t noticed.  However, because of copyright laws, etc., we are not allowed to call it Derby Pie.  A bakery owns the rights to that name.  That’s okay, though.  Today I have a recipe […]
