    Rhubarb Crisp

    Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!  It is rainy, damp, and dreary outside as I write to you, and nearly freezing!  I think it may have even been snowing/sleeting earlier today!  We have been having EXTREME weather this week.  I kid you not, but earlier this week it was 90 degrees! It’s crazy!  I guess I should be very thankful for this weather though, since other parts of the country have been hit hard by terrible tornadoes… And this weekend, I think the weather will improve and become a bit more normal for this time of year….. which is the perfect time of year to pick and cook with rhubarb! For…

    Fresh Papaya

    Hi Everyone!  Since I started doing Weight Watchers I have been eating a lot more fruits and vegetables, mostly because they are zero points.  They are also a healthy and delicious snack!   I normally take a couple pieces of fruit or some cut up veggies with me to work every day to snack on, and this helps to keep me from being tempted by cookies or other unhealthy snacks that may be readily available at work. When I go shopping, especially at Wegmans, there are TONS of different types of fresh produce to look at.  I often try to look for one new type of fruit or vegetable that I…

    Buttermilk Spelt Biscuits

    Happy Friday everyone!!!  I don’t know about you all, but I am so glad its the weekend!!!  This weekend is Mother’s Day… and this recipe is perfect to make for Mom this Sunday!  I was trying to think of a way to use up the left over buttermilk from my ranch dressing, and I thought of buttermilk biscuits.  I had been wanting to try to make some biscuits ever since I had them with my yummy breakfast in South Carolina at Walnut’s anyways, so I decided to give them a try! I started with a base recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook [1], which is really a staple…
