Wishes and Dishes

I’m really excited to share this recipe with you today.  This is an amazing dish that is popular in my hometown of Rochester, NY and the surrounding regions.  So popular, in fact, that some have suggested the dish be called “Chicken Rochester”.  This also just happens to be my husband’s favorite meal and he orders [...]

I hope everyone had a fun weekend!  We had beautiful, warm weather here in Rochester and we took full advantage of it and did a lot of work in our yard.  There’s still a long way to go to get our lawn the way we want it, but at least we made a dent.  Quite a different [...]

This is a wonderful winter we are having here this spring!  Yes, I’m back to say that the weather here in upstate NY is no bueno and I am currently listening to balls of ice fall from the sky while the temperatures are back to the 30′s.  Come on, Spring! The weather is not very [...]

So Mr. Wishes and I are up to our ears in paint this week.  We are very fortunate new homeowners in that all we really had to do as far as work goes on our house is to (heavily) clean and paint most of the rooms in our house.  Our front and back yard that [...]

Let me introduce this delicious un-salad looking salad with a sweet honey lime vinaigrette.  It has colorfulness (is that a word?) and tastiness going for it.  Lately, I tend to order delicious salads out at restaurants but don’t really ever make them myself.  I want to change that.  All of the salads I have made [...]
