Monday’s Memorial Day Lineup

Monday’s Memorial Day Lineup

We had such a nice long Memorial Day weekend.  We got together with the family on Saturday and had a BBQ at a friend’s house Sunday (it was so great to give everyone hugs, finally!!), so Monday was just me and the hubs.  I had

Mama Mia Meatballs!

Meatballs are a staple in our house.  When I’m not sure what to make and suggest meatballs the hubby’s eyes light up and a resounding yes is his reply.  He’s a fan of my meatball meals, regardless of what I’m meatballing up (is that a

It’s fall again, again.  If you don’t remember about a month ago in San Diego we had a cold snap and I thought fall was here to stay.  Well, I thought wrong.  Just a week ago we had another scorcher of a day; people even
