Christmas Traditions: Jammies Under The Tree

Christmas Traditions: A Natural Tree
There is no shortage of opinion on Christmas trees—artificial, natural, its symbolism, appropriateness, environmental impact—even within families.

Chicken Piccata
In the midst of compiling recipes for a cookbook, I pay attention when my husband says, “this just made it into the top 10″ while eating dinner. It’s not a new recipe, but rather than making do with I had on-hand to pull it together, we made a trip to the store for fresh ingredients. [...]
