No, there's not a lot about me here. I'm a writer (of books), cook, and normal person, most of the time. I'll tell you a little about my life in my posts but not much (I'm kind of boring). After all, the filler is the food, not my life story! And if, "food is love," I hope you are filled to capacity. And cook to fill others, too!

How to Make Simple Brown Sugar Shortbread Cookies

These Brown Sugar Shortbread cookies are perfect accompaniments to ice cream and are amazing on their own with a cup of tea or coffee or glass of milk.

I know some of the research released during the past couple of years indicates that butter isn't as bad for our health as we once thought. Nonetheless, the research scientists who say butter is "okay" generally add the caveat "

Quick Cookies for Ice Cream: Brown Sugar Shortbread

Forget the Oreos. The Brown Sugar Shortbread cookies I'm offering up today are much better with ice cream. The shortbread cookies also are phenomenal on their own.

Friday Fish Night: Flounder in Lemon Butter Sauce

The recipe I'm offering you tonight is easy, economical, fast, and incredibly tasty: Flounder in Lemon Butter Sauce. I'm not a big fan of frozen fish, but sometimes it's just fine and speeds dinner preparation considerably.

Is Everything Really Better With Butter?

Where are all the advertisements?

I hate them, so I'm not including them! I'll figure out how to "monetize" the site/blog later--much later (or maybe never). For now, enjoy the ideas, recipes, and food and please post the links on your social media so others can enjoy the food!
