With my abundance of rhubarb and a women’s dinner for 8 coming up, I decided to find myself a rhubarb pie recipe. I didn’t have any strawberries on hand and since I had only ever heard of rhubarb being combined with strawberries to make a yummy pie, I thought I was out of luck. I […]
The One with an Appreciation of the Crispness of Fall

Jerk Chicken Soup Recipe
When I saw Rachael Ray making Jerk Chicken Soup on her daytime tv show, I knew that was “what’s for dinner tonight.” You see, Kevin and I have a soft spot for anything “jerk.” Before our cross cultural studies trip to Jamaica in 2006, we couldn’t have told you what that even meant. I thought […]
