Balsamic-Cinnamon Blueberry Jam
I spent a Friday refreezing bulk blueberries (purchased in March from Bithell Farms). Fourteen pounds of Oregon blueberries had been languishing in the freezer in the original big plastic bag they had been delivered in. (I am such a slob, I didn’t even reseal the bag after breaking into the bounty after they were delivered. …
Blueberry-Granola Coffee Cake
What’s one of the most delicious and fattening and unhealthy things for breakfast? That could very well be a loaded question. For me, it is coffee cake. If it is on a brunch buffet, I am taking two pieces. If I am driving through TenBucks (as The Hubs calls it), I will get a piece…
Wanted: Good Thoughts and Prayers (and Virtual Flowers)
Please participate in this virtual flower sending drive for Abigail, a beautiful two-year-old who needs our thoughts and prayers.

Moment of Silence
Words can’t express the emotion and sympathy I feel for my fellow Oklahomans who have experienced devastation, loss of property and loss of family members in the past few days. I just can’t believe that Moore has been hit twice with F-4 and F-5 tornadoes—in May 1999 and May 2013. I just keep watching images…
