My name is Kelly, and I am a peach hoarder. No, really! I love peaches as you may well know. Last year – as peach season came to a close – I got a bulk package of dry peaches to get me though the winter. I love them because they are sweet, chewy, and terribly [...]

Can you feel the romance in the air? I only ask because Valentine’s Day is coming, and that means it is time to start thinking about treats to give the ones you love. We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day at the Shenanigans Homestead. I do not require bouquets of roses, boxes of chocolates, or fancy [...]

Ready or not, the holidays are here! I want to wish you the happiest of holidays – no matter what or how you celebrate. In our house we celebrate Christmas, and that means lots of cookies and sweet treats. Shamefully I am behind on my Christmas cookie baking this year. This week I am going [...]

I swear if I see another pumpkin recipe I may start punching things. It isn’t that I dislike pumpkin – in fact I really like it – but SO many people [...]

It was my first year to attend, and I had the distinct honor of speaking on the subject of Beating Blogger [...]

Get ready, I am going to get my whine on. I know it is the holidays, but I am not feeling it. First off, my tree is 99% decorated. I am afraid of heights, and my tree requires the use of a ladder to decorate the top. I have not screwed up my courage (or [...]

Sometimes you will be bopping along, and then … WHAM!! Life is unpredictable. Often when you least expect it things go all pear shaped. That has happened in my life over the last week, and it is also why I have been relatively quiet. Things are working themselves out now, but it will be a [...]

Summer is coming. It is not exactly here yet, but with the rising temperatures and cloudless skies I can feel it on the horizon. I am ready for it this year after the unpleasantly cold winter we had. When the weather gets warm I start craving specific things. Grilled meats, potato salad, and cool citrus [...]
