TRADITIONS

Every day with Grandma was an adventure and her recipe for life was simple. Find out the secret ingredients that made her so special, in my birthday tribute to her.

Feeling the fall vibes and searching for fun things to do? I’m sharing some of my favorite autumn traditions and recipes to help you make the most of the season before it’s over.

Are you ready for Santa? Don’t forget to bake his favorite giant ginger cookies. It’s a family recipe that’s become part of our “Night Before Christmas” tradition. I can almost guarantee your stockings will be filled, if you leave him a plate of these!

Life’s short. Eat dessert first! This is just one of many new family traditions we celebrated this Thanksgiving. What’s your recipe for a memorable holiday? Looking for ideas to inspire you and yours to get into the spirit of the season?

“You never see a U-Haul behind a hearse, so you might as well spend what you have and enjoy it!” Wise words to live by from my Grandpa George, whose generous spirit touched the lives of many on earth. Today, would have been his 107th birthday, and although he’s been gone over sixteen years, he’s never far from my mind. Sharing stories of his random acts of kindness to strangers are the perfect way to celebrate his life.

There was always room for company at Grandma and Grandpa Haluska’s table. It wasn’t fancy or very large, but it was always set properly, with placemats or a tablecloth, and Grandma’s beautiful blue and white china.
