Friday Feast | Smashing Kitchen Tools

Welcome to a new year of Friday Feast in Mary's Tavern! If you've been following along for the past few years, you'll recall my love affair with certain kitchen tools. For those new to the Tavern, my favorite is my shiny red Kitchen Aid Mixer. I've had it for decades! Another fav is my milk frother. It's wonderful for whipping up those lattes I enjoy each morning.

Today, I'm sharing my collection of mortars and pestles. They've graced my kitchen counters for almost twenty years. The marble one...

January Promotional Events

Welcome to a new year! I'm praying that 2022 brings everyone less stress and more time to enjoy life without so many restrictions, right? Whew, the last couple of years have been a blur. As I've stated across social media, my word for the start of 2021 was possibilities. By June it transformed to illumination. Trust me, my life became lit with knowledge and understanding.

Since I prefer to choose a word rather than resolutions, this year's word is journey. It's a quest for me, and I'm eager to...

Holiday Greetings from the Tavern

From our home to yours, I'm wishing everyone a beautiful, magical holiday season. I hope your festivities are filled with the love of family and friends. I know we're excited about spending time with our children and grandchildren.

The Tavern will be closed until January.

Until next year, my friends, be safe and well. Love to all!

Friday Feast | A Simple Breakfast

Welcome to Friday Feast in the Tavern! It's now a week before Christmas, and I've been indulging in holiday baking and eating. With so many tempting treats, how can I resist, aye? And don't get me started on breads, especially those for breakfast. So what to do when I need to eat a wholesome meal? Simple. I'll start my day with a healthy (and protein-filled) breakfast. These mini egg white frittata muffins are so easy to make. The great part is you can switch out the ingredients to what you have...

Friday Feast | A Son's Favorite Treat

Welcome back to Friday Feast in the Tavern! I'm really trying to treasure every day of the season. But can anyone tell me why the days are zipping by at such an alarming speed? Do I need to halt everything and just do nothing? Watch the raindrops fall gracefully down the windows? Read another Christmas story? Or spend more time in the kitchen baking? The last one might see me pack on the 35 pounds I lost this year, haha! Thankfully, I get out and exercise daily, regardless of the weather. Even w...

Thanksgiving Blessings

Grateful and blessed. Two words with a powerful impact on my life. Grateful for the year and blessed for its gifts of healing for me and my family. Yet my deepest gratitude is toward my wonderful readers. Your letters filled with questions (mostly about the Dragon Knights), praise, and encouragement are a true blessing. I've said this many times, but without you, I would not be on this journey. Thank you!

However you celebrate, I wish you all a beautiful Thanksgiving filled with love.

On a si...
