A friend of mine confided that she never felt good enough for her husband. He made his expectations seem so simple: have the house cleaned and food on the table when he got home. Not unreasonable considering she had a non-traditional work schedule and eventually became a stay-at-home mom. She even enjoyed cleaning and cooking...

“Why I hate TV…” This was a topic I was assigned to write about in my pre-marital counseling. Apparently, I had a problem with TV. Oddly enough, I didn’t actually give much thought to TV until I met my fiance. My schedule was too saturated to make time for shows. My fiance, on the other...

“You are not my number one anymore.” I sighed, and after saying this turned away from my husband to stare blindly out the passenger window. “I don’t think about you first, but really, I don’t even think about you anymore.” I fussed with the zipper on my sweatshirt, aware that tears threatened to roll down...

Once in a while, I crave something different for breakfast; something with a little flavor and spice to wake up my taste buds. And that's when Huevos Rancheros land on the menu in my home. But this time, rather than making them the traditional way, I had some tomatillo salsa lying around and I thought why not simmer the eggs in there.

These oven baked sweet potato fries are so addictive! Wedges of sweet potatoes, tossed with oil, sprinkled with spices, and baked at high heat until browned and crispy at the edges.

I plead guilty. During my first major jury duty case, I learned what it meant legally to aid and abet someone. In fact, we did find the defendant guilty of aiding and abetting a murder. It was quite the case. But many years later, I found myself guilty of the same crime (don’t worry, not...
