Good Morning Darlings!

Fall 2011 is only 4 days old today, but I am ready to conjure up some cool weather treats.

How about you?

Good Morning Darlings!

Autumn is only 5 days away. From my office window, I can see the yellow leaves descending in batches off the trees. It’s like they can’t wait for Fall, either.

This weather means soup. And soup parties. Specifically, Tracy’s soup party.

Lets make soup!

Good Morning Darlings!

Summer means several things: sunshine, beaches, carnivals and camping. Nearly 13 million people go camping every year in the U.S. alone, with the number rising 6 percent in 2010.

What? 13 MILLION people go camping? Not like staying in a cabin, but a tent? Huh, imagine that!

Families stake out for days, even weeks, in our country’s beautiful national and state parks every summer. With the heat and exhausting travel, snacks often need to be healthy, transportable and flavorful.

My question is….what are we packing to eat?

Can you believe it’s September next week? Come on Autumn! But first, we must say goodbye to summer via Labor Day.

Lets clink our glasses as we unwrap the light sweaters in the attic.

Good Morning Darlings!

Do you feel the cool in the air? Just a subtle change right now that will segue into full fledged autumn weather.

The change of season invariably has me thinking of new ways to entertain. Autumn is the gateway to all those fabulous holiday parties that keep everyone busy. And with so many parties to choose from, make sure yours is the one they are still talking about next year.

What am I whipping up?

Good Morning Darlings!

After all the imbibing I did at the Ritz-Carlton last week, I needed a bit of a break this week.

But now it’s Friday!
