Bacon Wrapped, Garlic Stuffed Pork Roast
I decided to share this simple and easy way to jazz up a boneless pork roast. I started making these years ago and have tried a few different variations. It always includes a little mustard for tang, a little something sweet (brown sugar, maple syrup or honey) and a little touch of salty via the […]

This yummy, comfort food recipe came to me from my long time friend Mary. She always made it for friends birthdays and we couldn’t wait to have it. After years of begging she handed it over. Since then I make it every once in awhile just because it is stick to your ribs good, makes […]

Fossile Hunting
Today was sunny and almost 60, a beautiful day. Took a walk to a little shale bed near my house. Did a little fossil hunting and took a walk through the the woods. These are some of my favorite shots. Found some very cool teal wood… and some cool lichens and moss… Liz

Manditory Walk in the Woods
With all that is going on, it is easy to let your work, or your home life, and all the other things happening in the world right now… consume you. I was instructed, by my boss, to get outside immediately and go for a walk. He didn’t have to tell me twice.

Daffodil – Colored Pencil
Today’s “botanical bright” is Daffodils! Now I’m really longing for spring. Daffodils (Narcissus) really are true signs of spring. I get so excited once the snow melts and you can see the tips of their leaves sticking up out of the ground. Once that happens you know that spring has finally arrived. I love to […]

Yup, were wrapping stuff in bacon again. Can you really ever have enough bacon? I think not. This simple party appetizer came from one of my best girl friends years ago. She was looking for a quick and easy dish to bring to a party we were having. We all loved them and history was […]

Flowering Dogwood – Colored Pencil
Today I have a third piece for what I’m dubbing the “Botanical Brights” collection. I must have spring on my mind because today’s piece is Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida). I love Dogwood trees because of their open, airy canopy. They are a perfect mid-sized tree in the landscape. Dogwoods grow fairly well here in the […]
