Weeknight Chicken Noodle Soup
February 28, 2013
I think there are two North Carolinas.
There is the one with the warm, mild winter.
Or a light cardigan and linen scarf type of winter. That was last year.
Days filled with endless sunshine and the sun's earthly counterpart, daffodils...poking up through the ground to quietly greet us.
And then, there is this winter.
Let me pause for a moment to say, I was born in New York.
My Blogs :-)
February 14, 2013Thanks for stopping by! When I first joined WordPress I wasn’t really sure what I was doing, etc. so I set this blog up; and then didn’t do anything with it.
Since then I have started two other blogs on WORDPRESS.COM. I post fairly regularly on those (ok, not as regularly on the food blog as I used to, or would like).
My first blog is http://www.eatwhatyouhave.wordpress.com – A food blog that I started to keep me on track to eat what I have in the house instead of dining out, or always heading to the grocery store for something else. check it out! It may inspire you!
My second blog is abagaday365.wordpress.com – I started this blog to help keep me on track and accountable for decluttering my house. I figure if I do a little bit every day, and don’t allow clutter to accumulate where I have cleaned/purged/decluttered, by the end of the year I will have a fabulously clean and uncluttered abode. Plus, I will be feeling so much better not having so much stuff laying around. 
Check it out and follow me there too!
Thanks again for stopping by!

Blueberry Ice Candy
February 11, 2013
In the Philippines, ice candy is a popular dessert. Best way to describe it is that it is a homemade creamy icy pole.
Normally it is made with milk, sugar and some sort of fruit - mangoes, coconut, avocados - anything! Today's version I made especially for my niece, Mischa. Mischa has a few allergies so this version was made with this in mind.
Pizza Pie
February 9, 2013
This is the Neo-Neapolitan Pizza Dough from Peter Reinhart's American Pie. It is a low-yeast, slow-rising dough with enough suppleness to make it easy to work with. This is the BEST pizza dough and sauce.
The Dough:
Makes 4 10-inch pizzas
5 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon sugar or honey
2 teaspoons salt (or 3 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt)
