Mama’s Virtual Cooking School

I have always intended to use this site for more than just my random ramblings, and I think it’s about time to start, don’t you?  I would like to start sharing with you some of my own kitchen tips and tricks.   (my staff has directed to me start with telling you exactly how NOT [...]

Mama’s Got the Giggles

I think spring must be coming.  Certainly it helps that the temps have been warmer and the sun has been out a couple of days this week (what is that weird light coming in through the window??).  But it’s more than that.  I’ve been uncharacteristically goofy this week, and we’ve all been laughing our asses [...]

New Plans for a New Year!

Ok, so it’s been literally MONTHS since I’ve even visited my blog.  (And to think I scoff whenever I hear a story about adults not being tech savvy… )  Shame on me.  Busy is busy, but I actually enjoy this, so there’s no real excuse.  Funny thing is, the only reason I’m even posting today [...]
