There is a proliferation of citrus populating the produce section. I find myself trying new ways to fit it into every meal. Many years ago I fell in love with butter croissants and orange marmalade. For me, this coupled with a freshly pressed pot of coffee is the perfect breakfast indulgence. While it may be a surprise […]
As the school year gets into full swing you may find yourself once again seeking quick and easy meal options. The trouble is you want to offer a bit of variety and hopefully a home-cooked meal or two. To avoid pulling dinner from a drive-thru bag we must look for speedy alternatives. Today Lola is […]
OK, summer, it’s official. I am over you. I have been doing my best to be cordial, but I simply cannot take much more. With more days over 100° than I have ever experienced, I am beginning to feel like a prisoner in my home. To add fuel to the fire, the next ten days are all forecast […]

We continue our tribute to Soup Month with this yummy recipe. No Soup Month would be complete without at least one cream soup. This one is my favorite as it is mostly about the other flavors and less about the cream. Much of the creaminess actually comes from the avocados. They also contribute to the […]
January is National Soup Month and there couldn’t be a better time for it. I enjoy soup year round, but there is nothing like a warm bowl of soup to start your winter meal. Not only does it allow you to round out your meal, but many broth-based soups are lower in calories and filled with good […]
