Valentine’s Day was the first holiday to roll around when my husband and I started dating, this will be our 27th. He made quite an impression that first year with gifts, perfume, flowers, dinner … our relationship was new, and he was in wooing-mode. We were married later that year, and as usual, enthusiasm for […]

And So It Goes … A Room Makeover: Happy New Year!
A friend was starting to wonder about me around the holidays because they hadn’t seen many posts on Savoring Today. Don’t worry, I’m still here and quite busy with life. Months ago a downstairs bedroom flooded after a heavy hailstorm, moving up my room makeover timeline. No big deal squeezing just one or two (or […]
Brunch Muffins
A few weeks ago, I was asked to bring muffins to a baby shower brunch for my dear friend’s daughter. It is such an honor to be part of these special occasions with lifelong friends and helping to make it happen. When your friend’s kids are having kids, the joy extends beyond the excitement for the new parents to your friends—the […]
Summer Gatherings and Skirt Steak Tacos
Glancing into the backyard all that remained from our barbecue was a full heart and a deck scattered with tables and chairs like a restaurant patio. Few leftovers marked the occasion of friends gathered around tables under a stormy sky. Yes, rain. Ugh. I’m not even sure how many times we hauled cushions back and forth. Finally, […]
Summer Refuge
In May, just about the time everyone was ready to plunk their plants in the ground, we had an awful hail storm. Devastating, in fact, to anyone or any nursery with unprotected plants and Lowe’s was one of them. Some nurseries simply discarded the damaged plants and filed an insurance claim, but Lowe’s put them […]
Recovered Life and Juiced Greens Recipe
I still get emotional when I think about it, what life was like just two months ago and now. My brain works again. I can actively participate in conversation. Walk miles. Savor what I’m eating. Fit into most of my clothes. Dream about the future. Feel inspired. Ruminating with recipe ideas again feels so good! Realizing all that I […]
Guest Post by April at The 21st Century Housewife: 5 Ways to Bless Someone Recovering From Illness or Surgery
Over the next eight weeks it will be a pleasure to introduce you to a few of the bloggers I adore. Actually, if I were to string together guest posts of all the bloggers I admire, you wouldn’t hear from me again until late summer. Ah, summer … that word sounds so good right now! […]
Where I’ve Been and Hope for What’s Ahead
Have you missed me? I have missed me. That might sound silly, but when dealing with a health issue over a long period of time you miss the things you used to do and how you used to feel; you may not even recognize yourself. It has been pretty quiet here at Savoring Today […]
A New Year to Savor
For all the best laid plans, Christmas came to town and captured my full attention. No blog posts of Merry Christmas wishes or family photos shared on Facebook. The only photo we snapped this year was when we piled in the car in search of a Christmas tree on the 21st (yes, just four days […]
In My Kitchen ~ December 2013
In my kitchen … is the window to our backyard world. That world looks like a snow globe today with temperatures barely climbing out of single digits. The kitchen darkens as the skylights cover with snow. In my kitchen … is more than 6 dozen Gluten-Free Ginger Cookies for a cookie exchange that had to […]
