Hey everyone.
Please bear with me. I will be back with great posts starting on Sunday on organic 360 Vodka, Grilled Balsamic Chicken, decluttering and more . . .
In the meantime, check out this nostalgic video. It’s totally worth the time to watch (only a few minutes). (Thanks Patti, you Late Bloomer!)

Death by Chocolate

Posted on February 4, 2008 - Filed Under A Little Help, Blog news | 2 Comments

I’ve seen the links elsewhere around the blogosphere and at first I thought, “Nah, I don’t have time to enter that.” But then I realized I didn’t need to create sometime new — I could use a post I created weeks ago. So, I did it folks. I entered Culinate’s Death by Chocolate contest.
Here’s the [...]

Celebrating Two Years of Cucina Bella

Posted on November 10, 2007 - Filed Under Blog news | 1 Comment

Who knew? When I wrote my very first post two years ago, on a recipe that I still make from my days of eating the (blech) Atkins way, I was so nervous. How would it be received? Would people care what I had to say about cooking? And were my cooking skills good enough for [...]

Has it really been a week?

Sigh. Sometimes, life is just too busy for me to cook. With Halloween in the middle of the week, my work schedule was . . . hectic. Wednesday is a major day for me, so to have to leave early makes it tricky to get everything done. Which stinks. Majorly.
But I have a cauliflower, spaghetti [...]

FINALLY! A Real, Live, Working Fridge!

Here’s a quick recap, if you haven’t been keeping up on my refrigerator issues: my not-quite three-year-old fridge went on the fritz over the week of July 4th when I was away. First it stopped freezing and then it stopped refrigerating. We lost more food than I realized, including batch after batch of my homemade [...]

Unfortunately, the transformation isn’t complete yet, but you can certainly get the idea . . .

After:The backsplash will be installed later this week. And in the meantime, we still have to hook up the faucet and drain (which needs to be moved, eeek!). I love the way this granite pulls the room together (not sure [...]

Evening Preview . . .

Remember the headaches I’ve been having with my three-year-old fridge? I found a solution. And have I ever told you why I don’t picture my kitchen often? (Hint: the countertop is … abysmal and a pain to keep unstained since it’s white and everything from beets to tea likes to try to leave behind a [...]

Hello everyone,
Sunday Breakfasts has to be postponed this week due to lack of time. Although I have written a partial post and made what I intended to, I just don’t have time to finish it before we head off on a week’s getaway.
I hope you all have a fantastic week. See you back here next [...]
