Continue reading →: Sheet Pan Time
I love sheet pan recipes, even though I don’t make them that frequently. They always seem to be dishes that are relatively easy to put together and, once the pan is in the oven, there’s time to relax before dinner. Any meal that provides time for sipping an adult beverage…

When I took the master gardener course, we had a lecture about raising orchids. Growing orchids is very popular locally; I’ve posted pictures of orchids in the trees that we’ve seen on our walks. The woman who spoke to us gave each of us a piece of a phalaenopsis orchid…
