Three-Course French Dinner
For special birthday dinners, we most often like to celebrate at home.
Steaks on the Grill in Winter
In five hours we put together a lovely at home birthday dinner.
Festive Pot Pies
Chicken pot pie with cookie cutter pastry cutouts can be fun and festive.
Holiday Stewing
Time can stand a bit still when you take a day to prep a slow-braised stew.
Cocktail Meeting for Twenty
There's nothing like offering to open your home in the first week of December to get the holiday decoration ball rolling. I hung the garland the day before our intimate meeting, but have yet to light the outdoor pots. I try and do a little every day. Slow and steady. And careful on the ladder!
Chicken Pot Pie
Chicken Pot Pie with a side salad is a go-to comfort meal. Sometimes I get distracted, here I forgot to put the peas in the mix, so I simply served those on the side as well.
Reunion Weekend
Three days of celebrating 50 years from high school, yikes.
