Enjoying the Food and Wine of Umbria and an abbreviated Weekly Menu #ItalianFWT

The Italian Food Wine and Travel Club are exploring Central Italy this month. I decided to visit Umbria once again, mostly because I adore Orvieto.

Come with me as we discover the food and wines of this region.....

Mr. Church-The Round Up #MoviesandMunchies

I chose the 2016 film Mr. Church for the May Movie and Munchies film. Let's take a look at what everyone thought of it and what recipes it inspired.

Coniglio all'Ischitana (Rabbit Stew) and a Book Review

I just finished listening to the second in the Whimbrel House series by Charlie Holmberg. It is the newest release in the series that started with Keeper of Enchanted Rooms that I read for our Lit Happens Book Club last November.

This second novel was just as fun and silly as the first.......

Fresh Mint Muffins with Chocolate Chips #MuffinMonday

It is mint season again here on the Farm. My garden overflows with mint that I spend the rest of the summer trying to find new recipes for and drying for use during the winter.

These delicious muffins start by steeping fresh mint in milk and butter. When this mixture cools sufficiently it only takes minutes to turn them into a wonderful breakfast, snack or dessert.

Avocado Salad with Fresh Herb Dressing #SundayFunday

Salad does not need to contain lettuce. This salad is chock full of avocados, cucumbers, tomatoes and onion tossed in a light oil and vinegar dressing that is flavored with fresh herbs.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Side Dishes perfect for your Memorial Day BBQ.......

As we begin this Memorial Day Weekend let us pause a moment and give tribute to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice that allows us to live in this great country that we call Home of the Free and Land of the Brave.....

Californio Enchiladas with a Chilean Chardonnay #WorldWineTravel

I make a lot of Enchiladas in this house as it is a favorite of our youngest child who still lives at home. This recipe, found at TASTE, is reported to have been passed down through the generations of families that arrived in California during the years of 1769 and 1833when the Missions were established.
