If you’re a chocolate mint lover like me, you’ll adore these rich Dark Chocolate Mint Brownies. First, a layer of luscious brownie with just a “hint of mint.” (Poet: me!) Then, a minty icing layer. And finally (drumroll please)…. a thin layer of bittersweet chocolate that cuts the sweet. Sophisticated. And decadent. Yes, it’s three layers….
On Feigning Sleep
There are intelligent reasons for Feigning Sleep. It’s early, noises downstairs. I pull the covers up tight, pretend I’m asleep. Yesterday I promise to send dessert to today’s skating party. That was before last night’s discovery there’s nary a stick of butter in the house. Ever tried to make dessert without butter? I flip through every…
Embrace the Gift
Did you ever receive a gift you didn’t want? I mean, you really didn’t want or ask for. Did you cry, pitch a fit? Stamp your foot? Scream at deafening decibel: “I don’t want this! I wanted something different”? Well I certainly hope not. That would be most impolite, quite rude. What the bratty little…
Biggest Little Fan
Today was an ordinary day, like a lot of other Sundays around our house in the last few weeks. We went to church. And it snowed. In that order. Now that the Superbowl is history, we have one disappointed little football fan on Sunday afternoons. Hudson, is one of the guys. (He’s our youngest, has…

Portland Pie Company

The first quarter started off as a nail biter, with his team down 12-0. Then they got their feet underneath them in the second quarter. And when they did, boy did they…
Simple Eggs Benedict
Met a dear friend in California last summer to attend a conference. Following, tacked on a few delightful days visiting my lovely cousin. Among other fun activities, she and her family treated me to a coastal brunch at Wilma’s Patio on Balboa Island in Newport Beach. She and I ordered Eggs Benedict and weren’t disappointed. Such a wonderful…
Psalm 23 on PB & J
Picky little eaters. The story of my life. Most of you with little kids can commiserate. With our passel of boys, we’ve had all kinds of eaters in the house, but mostly picky ones. Psalm 23 on PB & J by allie taylor A friend was recently telling me tales from her dining room growing up….
Neon Sign in the sky
Craziest thing happened. You know that Neon Sign in the Sky, the one we beg for? I think I finally saw it today. Neon Sign in the Sky by allie taylor So I’m headed down the highway to a doctor appointment. I’ve already missed this appointment twice: once for a snowstorm, once because the flu…
