Best Friends and Belgian Chocolate Brownies

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Janet O'Leary

Okay, I will admit I'm getting older but, how many people can say they have had a best friendbff for 50 years? Well, I can! My BFF Maureen, who lives in Ohio is visiting me for one glorious week! She is leaving the snow & cold behind for some warmer weather, sunshine, and quality girl time! Over the past 38 years, we have traveled to California, Ohio, Georgia, and Arizona to spend time together and have seen each other through the good, the bad, and the ugly!

This next week will be filled with...

Brownie batter, baseball chatter, does it really matter? Both are sweet to my ears... Cactus League Baseball; that's all I'm saying. For those that know me, know that I am all things baseball, and a huge fan of the Arizona Diamondbacks! I have been counting the days since the last game in 2011. I have to admit, (should I admit??) I watched 160 baseball games last year! Needless to say, I am excited about spring training which starts in 6 weeks. I am proud to announce I have my spring training...Read More » »

steeler1 A friend of mine won an NFL sweepstakes that included 47 yard line tickets to the Steeler/Cardinal game last Sunday!

I recently returned from a trip the Buckeye State where I was born and raised. I have to give kudos to the Ohio weatherman for providing perfect weather for my entire 7 day stay! Blue skies, cool mornings & warm afternoons was something I enjoyed daily. The scenery was magnificent! A road trip is a must this time of year;  there was was a blanket of robust red, bright yellow, and burnt orange foliage that embraced every valley and hillside on my trip. The state of Ohio is breath taking, to say...Read More » »
