31Daily Home Page | Recipes | Teatime | Shop November 22, 2024 Happy Friday! I hope you're having a wonderful week, planning for Thanksgiving if you're celebrating and enjoying the holiday season as we enter this beautiful time of the year! If you're familiar with a bomb cyclone, in short, it's an extreme low-pressure system that intensifies rapidly creating cyclone-type effects when warm and cold air collide. And... it brings extremely high winds. I will keep our coffee chat short this...

31Daily Home Page | Recipes | Teatime | Shop November 15, 2024 Happy Friday! I can't believe it's mid-November, and Christmas is just 40 days away. Oh my, we're here! There's so much to do and lots to plan; I'm baking holiday cookies daily and decorating every corner of the house in that beautiful fusion of Thanksgiving fall leaves with early Christmas.

31Daily Home Page | Recipes | Teatime | Shop November 8, 2024 Happy Friday!

31Daily Home Page | Recipes | Teatime | Shop November 1, 2024 Happy Friday! And... Happy November! I'm doing a happy dance as I write this. November has finally arrived. I love November. It's the month when all the things I adore come together: beautiful vibrantly colored leaves fluttering in fall breezes, cozy and hearty food, the holidays, gatherings, crackling fires, and hot cider. Well, and hot tea and morning lattes, too. I'm a warm beverage kind of girl! It's also the month I was...

31Daily Home Page | Recipes | Teatime | Shop October 18, 2024 Happy Friday! Pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and varieties line my porch and walkways. Fall leaves are in vases and crocks all over the house. And, Christmas music is playing. I'm driving my family crazy. In a good sort of way... I hope. But it's the season of fun and a season to embrace all that life has to offer. Hopefully, the apple hand pies (recipe published today) make up for the early holiday music. But, sometimes, you have...
