Hi, friends! Welcome to the new RE! With many thanks to the talented Lindsay, from Love and Olive Oil (Purr Designs), who designed the blog, with plenty of inspiration from my good friend, Julie (The Little Kitchen), I think my new site is going to be much easier to navigate, with easier access to recipes, entertaining posts, gardening, and travel.

I updated my ABOUT page, and there will be more in store!

Here at my blog, food is more than food.

It’s a pathway plateway to getting to know others.

Connecting in a way you’ve always wanted to connect.

My Mission: Help reluctant entertainers Feast on Life.

It just takes a dash of time, a tablespoon of wisdom, and a few dollops of courage.

Here on RE, our home together, I’ll show you how.

Trust me, it’s easier than you think.

I’m excited to tell you more about my new TAG LINE, too, Feast on Life. That will be in a separate post with several awesome giveaways coming your way!

In the meantime, I made some yummy Orange Banana Bread the other morning when my son was home from college. Instead of the traditional loaf pan, I made it in a 9×13 pan, added fresh oranges sprinkled with sugar, and baked it. When it came out of the oven, I flipped it over – sort of like an upside down cake.
