Even Though It's Summer, It's a Bit Chilly Here Today

I don't mind turning the oven on today to make John his favorite meatloaf with a side of buttery garlic, parsley & rosemary potatoes. Ordinarily, I would save this type of meal for the cooler months, but today is the perfect day to make him one of his requests. I carmelize an entire Vidalia onion in... Sign in to see full entry.

Road Trips Are a Fun Way to See New Places, But I'm Happy to Be Back Home

John and I hit the road early Sunday morning and headed for Cleveland to dip our toes into the waters of Lake Erie.

River Dining and Crab Legs...Two of My Favorite Things

I am a diehard seafood lover. Crab, shrimp, and fish & chips are at the top of my list. The Redfin Blues is a fine restaurant that sits on the Allegheny River. Guests can access the restaurant by boat after a long day on the water. They serve all-you-can-eat crab legs all day, every day. Location:... Sign in to see full entry.

Old School Diners Are Becoming Hard to Find, but We Found a True Gem

Country drives are something that John and I take regularly. Most often they lead to great finds like the old-school diner that we came across after veering off of old route 30, heading toward Somerset on route 219.
