It’s a good day to make soup, and today it will be a sweet potato soup with lots of carrots, onions,shallots,garlic,and sweet potatoes of course. Looking forward to a bowl for supper tonite. Happy snow day!!

Making this Rhubarb Dump Cake for dessert tonite, will get the recipe out if it turns out well??? It certainly was easy to make.

Blueberry Streusel French toast and Swiss and Cheddar brunch casserole are two of the things we will be sharing with family for Mothers Day!! Hope all the mothers out there enjoy a day filled with whatever makes your heart happy 😊

Happy Mothers Day from Alden Street!

It’s Peony time❤️

Trying a new brunch / lunch / dinner idea. Sautéed onions,garlic,spinach and marinated artichoke hearts tossed in toasted sourdough bread cubes and waiting for its bath of eggs,Boursin cheese, and cream, topped with some gruyere cheese and chilled for a few hours(1hour-24 hours) then baked and I am serving it with chicken apple sausage. I am excited to try this for dinner tonight!!

A beautiful, fun and creative arrangement from my sweet friend Meghan at meghans_blissful_buds she is a local young woman with a wonderful talent for floral arrangements for any occasions.

A before and after picture of our dinner tonight, an Asparagus,shallot, and gruyere crustless pie. It is/was delicious. Will get the corrections on the computer and get it out to you all soon. It would make a fabulous side dish for a grilled meat, but we had it with fresh fruit, and a slice of cranberry pecan bread.
