Travel takes us to Disney World in Orlando Florida. The first Stop is Trader Joe’s. The frequent flyer has a great list for quick travel. We picked up Gummy Tummies as a snack. Interesting in Florida I noticed that the soft gummy candies in assorted […]
the bow-tie pasta salad as mentioned in the Frequent Flyer from Trader Joe is the lemon basil pasta salad. The salads is nicely seasoned with Basil and Asiago Cheese, fresh shredded Spinach and a light lemon vinaigrette. The squeeze of lemon added a nice tart […]
The cooking travel went to Stapleton. There were so many crayfish! they were cooked in 3 batches. The boil seemed to get spicier as the boil went on.

It is great to kick off Stapleton Summer with friends.

Just for kids, huh? I don’t think so!
Honestly, my papa loved this more than me; and I’m 12 with a BIG sweet tooth.
The Trix bar – my taste buds weren’t so sure what to think!
Aunt Katy’s recipe for Lasagna gathered the families to cook together for Sunday Dinner. the recipe is easy to follow and good comfort food. Recipes are like stories. Stories from Aunties are the best kind of stories. they tie together family holidays, traditions and tie […]
