Mom’s Apple Crisp | Happy Mother’s Day #SundaySupper

Mom's Apple Crisp by Cravings of a Lunatic

Okay, so where do I begin.... *sigh* This recipe is my Mom's. Those who read regularly likely know my Mom passed away when I was a teenager. She was incredible. She also made the BEST apple crisp in the world.   Up until now I've never shared it. I am still questioning whether or not I should. Not because I don't want to... but because I messed this freaking thing up.... for the first time ever.... in over 30 years.... and I don't want to show it to you.... cuz it's … [Read more...]

Easy Spicy Lasagna in Memory of Dad

Spicy Lasagna by Cravings of a Lunatic

   There's a couple of days on the calendar each year I dread. There's no way around them. I wish I could pretend they don't exist. But they do. And that sucks. March 5 is the day my Mom passed away in 1984. May 7 is the day my Dad passed away in 2007. I wrote about my Dad last year.  I also wrote about my Mom last year, and did a huge multi-blogger memorial for her this year. I was going to do the same for my Dad  but my life is so in flux and high stress right now … [Read more...]

  Hello readers! Sorry it's been a bit since you last saw me.

So this post has been a long time coming. I'm known for my sense of fun, so serious posts are hard to write. I mulled it over and rewrote it multiple times. Then I figured screw it, I'm just going to write like I always do. From the hip, and the heart. Buckle up, it might get bumpy. … [Read more...]

September Foodie Penpal

Foodie Penpal September 1

Hi folks. Another month has passed and I cannot believe it is already October. September seemed to fly by. Mostly because I was medicated to the hilt and slept through most of it. So it seemed to disappear. Apparently that's what drug induced sleep does to your life. The upside is I'm well rested. And all caught up on the Real Housewives of New Jersey and New York. The perks of being bed-ridden for a while. I love being part of the foodie penpal group. … [Read more...]
