I love Halloween with the lawn decorations, fall décor, and cooler temperatures. But with grown kids, I feel like the girl that’s not invited to the party…kind of left out of the fun.

This is a popular recipe found on the internet, but I like it because it’s very easy and very tasty!  It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit salty…just like me! I’m all about making something the easy way that looks like you fussed. You can also have fun with variations and unleash your creativity.

After a long day of errands and grocery shopping I head home to make lasagna for dinner.  I already had my noodles, sweet sausage, a jar of Paul Newman pasta sauce (only 88 cents with coupons) and mozzarella cheese.  It was not until I am in the middle of making my mess that I realize…no ricotta cheese!   The last thing I want to do is run back to the store, so I desperately start rummaging through the frig for anything that I might be able to get away with.  Oh yeah, there it was—Greek yogurt!!  It’s thick and white and worth a try.

Whoo Boy!  I forgot until last week how much I hate having the stomach flu.  For all you bio-techies, I know there’s no such thing as the stomach flu, only stomach viruses or food poisoning.  But whatever got me last week, it got a hold of me for a week.

I am a huge movie fan.  Once I find a movie I love, I can enjoy it over and over again to my husband’s dismay.  I always get the same bewildered question, “how many times have you seen that”?!  My newest obsession is the movie “It’s Complicated”.  After purchasing the movie for only $4.99, I have enjoyed it twice with my husband and a couple of times on my own.
