Hello! Thanks for stopping by and spending some time with me.

Just pinch me…..inspiring delightful moments with food.

I hope you are lucky enough to have a sweet spot in your life. Something to engage in that excites and energizes you, makes the hours fly by in a breath and leaves you feeling you are doing exactly what you were designed to do – thinking “just pinch me!”

My blog celebrates one of the sweetest spots in my life which is cooking simple and scrumptious food from scratch with the freshest, tastiest ingredients and sharing the meal with friends and family. Laughing, talking and connecting.

I have an adorable husband who doesn’t cook but always pulls a perfectly paired bottle of wine out of the cellar to enjoy while we eat. I have three energetic teenagers who keep me out of my comfort zone and on my toes everyday. And I’m blessed by my tribe, my peeps, my cherished friends and family (y’all know who you are).

I hope my blogs inspires you to have many delightful moments with food too.

Just pinch me!

Cathleen

Hi Cathleen, a while ago I bookmared your garlic confit, and when I just tried to access the page, it says it doesn’t exist. I was hoping to get your recipe and was wondering what happened to the page.

  Hi Kiki,
  Drats! I had to pull the post because a reader tipped me about possible food illness caused by storing garlic in olive oil. Here is a link to the Christopher Ranch Garlic brand’s website which describes the risk under the heading “storing garlic”

  Thanks for your kind words and support Carrie! Just got a little fixed 50 mm AF lens today. Can’t wait to shoot the pics for my next post. This is so addicting!

In addition to eating and cleaning the adorable husband also keeps Cathleen well stocked in perfectly paired wines to further enhance the delightful moments with food –CWS
