The title of this post is a homage to my paternal grandmother on this Mother’s Day weekend. When I’ve talked about cooking with my grandmother, I’ve been referring to my maternal grandmother. Gammy, as I called my Dad’s mother (I apparently couldn’t say “Grammy” when I started to talk, and…

It’s not every day that you get to pet and feed deer. That’s what Ken and I were able to do this morning, thanks to our good friend Pat. Pat is the music director at our church, but his day job is at the Okeeheelee Nature Center. We visited Pat…

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? I had a poster in my classroom that quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson: “nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” It was a quote I referred my students to often. As a musician, I know how easy…

Continue reading →: My Best Meatloaf *
Full disclosure: this is the only meatloaf I make, so it has to be my best. The reason I don’t make any other versions of meatloaf is because Ken is our meatloaf chef. There are at least three recipes that he makes, and I enjoy them all. But I love…
