Soothing mocktail moments

Sometimes, a comforting drink can offer a moment of peace and reflection.  

Many years ago, Ken introduced me to an aperitif called Dubonnet.  From that day on it became my favorite drink before meals.  Whenever we went out to a restaurant or a bar, he would quickly as the waiter "a Dubonnet for my wife please".  Today I still enjoy a glass of Dubonnet before my meal...sometimes....

It is more than just a drink to me now - it brings back beautiful memories of days with my Ken, his thoughtfulness and the many wonderful moments we shared together on those date nights.

Every glass is raised in his honor now - a quiet toast to my Ken with love, gratitude and memories that will always live in my heart.  Love you Hon.  Thank you for everything....

Smart shopping and meal prep

Grocery shopping and meal preparation for one can be a new challenge.  My tips and strategies might help you navigate the aisles efficiently, and reduce waste.  

I skip large packages now.  I buy fruits and vegetables individually.  Zip lock bags are my biggest friend now.  They are easy to store individual portions for less waste. I am thankful to my family and friends who share their recipes with me.

When I buy the small tortillas, I separate them with wax paper to make it easier to get 2 at a time.  Thanks to Lois for this great tip
