We are in the middle of a deep freeze here in Michigan. We have been below freezing for the past 23 days here in my area. So when St. Lucia was chosen as our destination this month, my thoughts immediately went to sunshine, beaches, and cocktails......
Greet your Valentine (s) with a cup of coffee or tea and one of these deep chocolate muffins studded with dark chocolate morsels. They will start off the day knowing how much they are loved.
Yesterday morning, we celebrated the life of our dear friend and choir member, Eleanor, who passed to eternal life last week at one hundred and one and a half years old. Eleanor had attended our Christmas choir gathering in December and was still singing with us just 2 weeks ago. She was an amazing lady, and she will be missed.
It's definitely Chili weather here in Michigan, and we have been enjoying a lot of it. This version is made with lean white-meat chicken breast and white beans, flavored with green chiles and cumin. It is scrumptious.
Ribbons of Romaine Lettuce, topped with a delicious Crab Salad, surrounded with fresh, creamy Avocados.
I enjoy cooking and spending time in the kitchen, but somedays I just want something easy like these oven-baked BBQ chicken thighs that take only moments of hands-on time and deliver a delicious dinner with little effort.
