Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Bites
Evolution Power Yoga, the studio where I take my yoga classes–which are fabulous, by the way–offers a “40 Days to Personal Revolution” program about twice a year. This program incorporates much over that time period, from daily yoga and meditation to a healthier eating regimen. From week to week certain foods are eliminated and by…
Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Eggs often make me think of my mom. Perfectly scrambled eggs and a side of toast was always her go-to meal when my brother, sister or I was a little under the weather. Her deviled eggs are simply scrumptious. And then there was the time I called to see if she could come over and…

Aunt Glenna’s Flourless Fudge Pie
Certain days are easy to remember. Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday in November, and Mother’s Day is the second Sunday in May. For my family, there’s another annual occurrence penned in our family calendar for the Sunday before Thanksgiving–The Apple Pie Auction & Variety Show. First Presbyterian of Lancaster—our family church—hosts the evening in the…
