A Simple Bowl of Breakfast Grits
To make delicious Breakfast Grits I’ve found that a good splash of olive oil, a little grated parmesan cheese and several grinds of pepper make them both interesting and delicious. Now I look forward to grits for breakfast, but they can also serve as a tasty side dish for lunch or dinner.

Peach Butter – A Jar of Southern Indiana Luxury
These days, I don’t often take the time to make jams, jellies or other fruit preserves. I do, however, enjoy making fruit butter at harvest time. Working with the luscious ripe fruit brings Uncle Hal to mind. I think of his delight in the luxurious harvest and his enjoyment in helping his family to preserve it. When the fruit begins to simmer and its delicious fragrance permeates my kitchen I am struck by the healing force of gratitude and I can’t help but smile.

nd mental. Maybe that’s why I thought this was a good time to make some Chocolate-Covered Digestive Cookies. These semi-sweet cookies are made from a dough that is rich in whole grains. The dough holds its shape through baking and produces a pretty cutout cookie to enjoy plain or topped with chocolate.
Shop Talk – Peanut Butter Fudge Latte
Where were you this time last year? A year ago I was sitting in a coffee shop in Peachtree Corners, drinking a latte from a thick ceramic cup. Comfortably seated at a small table, I worked at my computer, occasionally sitting back to take a sip. While there alone, I felt a sense of harmony with the activity around me; the barista preparing drinks, the children playing in the park outside the window, the customers coming and going. I had a pleasant afternoon, though I didn’t give it much thought at the time…

Gingerbread Scones
What Anticipation Tastes Like I think my favorite flavor of the holiday season is ginger. Christmas wouldn’t taste or smell like Christmas without spicy notes of ginger and cinnamon wafting through the house and lingering in the kitchen. A pinch of ginger is the perfect way to dress up favorite […]
