Better than a Candle

Fall is such a wonderful season.  Its cool evenings make for comfortable sleeping.  The leaves are not only colourful, but they have a damp, fresh fragrance as well.  I love to add to the natural fragrance of fall with candles….not surprisingly food scented ones are my favourites: gingerbread, vanilla, apple-cranberry.  They make our home smell […]

Success!

The picture says it all!

The Yummy Town of Woodbridge

The weatherman called for a rainy weekend….wrong again! How does he keep his job?  By Saturday at noon, the skies were blue again and my hubby and I decided to venture outside to make the most of the day.  We were in the mood for a good pizza.  Now, we used to have a terrific local Italian […]

Dessert with the Newlyweds

First I baked a pumpkin crunch cake.  I followed the recipe….sort of.  I added more spices to the pumpkin base, changed the sugar to dark brown and added some […]

Just Getting Started
