    Preserved Lemons

    ByMary Crozier January 28, 2020January 17, 2024

    The very first time I preserved lemons was back in 2010. It was a failure. It is highly likely I did it incorrectly and based on that experience I never made them again, until now. A friend recently told me she LOVED preserved lemons and used them all the time. Really? As a result I…

    Simplifying Christmas

    ByMary Crozier November 30, 2019November 30, 2019

    I don’t know about you, but I am STILL cleaning up after Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful day, especially with the weather being moody and overcast. If you are looking for a cocktail (or can be made without alcohol) for Christmas, this one is certainly the right color! I am not a fan of anything…

    Thanksgiving Traditions

    ByMary Crozier November 16, 2019November 16, 2019

    For as long as I can remember, I’ve prepared Thanksgiving dinner. I’m trying not to panic that Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. This weekend I am determined to put a menu together and think about the table setting. The good news is that my son will be flying home to stay for a…
