The dish "Marry Me Chicken" got its name because it's so delicious that it's rumored to be so good, it could inspire a marriage proposal!  With the wedding season upon us, I thought it might be fun to post this recipe and who knows... this might win over a potential groom into jumping in with a marriage proposal! The combination of flavorful ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, herbs, and creamy sauce makes it a standout dish that may just win over anyone's heart. While its origin isn't entirely clear, it's likely that the name caught on due to its reputation for being irresistibly tasty. Here's a recipe for "Marry Me Chicken" along with instructions: Ingredients:- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (a whole roaster chicken can be used as well)- Salt and pepper, to taste- 2 ta...

“Enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don’t have.”Embracing Gratitude andThe Power of Enjoying What You Have We are living in a world driven by consumerism and endless desire to accumulate more and more stuff.There's a reason why self storage companies are growing at an unprecedented rate. People not only pack their homes but can’t even fit their cars in their garages and resort to having to rent storage space for their stuff.We have TV shows about hoarders and then the TV shows about how to pare down and get rid of your stuff.I remember my grandparents who always reused and recycled long before recycling was fashionable or law.The age-old wisdom of "enjoy what you have rather than desiring what you don't have" rings truer than ever.  Why not shift our focus from a longing ...

The Dunlawton Plantation and Sugar Mill was a plantation that was destroyed by the Seminoles at the beginning of the Second Seminole War. The ruins are located at 950 Old Sugar Mill Road, Port Orange, Florida.  http://dunlawtonsugarmillgardens.org/index.html The park also has is home to the ruins of "Bongoland" which was a early theme park which operated in the 1950's amidst the beautiful gardens and tropical flora.  Bongoland featured a Native American Village, miniature train station, and the concrete dinosaurs statues.  Many of the Dinosaur statues still remain throughout the gardens and the Confederate Oak. This is a beautiful park to visit with an abundance of native Florida foliage and and ancient trees.

Orchid Beauty… this beautiful orchid has given me so much joy over the years. It was a gift that I received many years ago, and I have enjoyed this beautiful plant since. The photo was enhanced by using the “waterlogue” app which turns your photo into a watercolor piece of art.  This app is so much fun to use and very easy too!Hope you have a blessed day!

  Port Orange Florida is home to one of the most beautiful parks in the area, known as Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens.   One of the most striking features of the park, is this amazing tree.  This is the Conferate Oak, a magnificent tree located in the Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens in Port Orange Florida. This amazing tree is known as the Confederate Oak because according to legend, Confederate Soldiers frequently camped under it.   The Sugar Mill Botanical Gardens are located within walking distance of my home and I frequently walk there to relax and admire nature and the beauty of this park.  Also in the park are the ruins of the Dunlawton Sugar Factory, ruins of Bongoland which was an amusement park in the 50's, and there is also a Human Sundial.  The park is beautiful year round and ab...

What a perfect Saturday early dinner we enjoyed at one of our favorite restaurants here in Port Orange, Aunt Catfish on the River.  We timed it perfectly, and beat the crowds that were arriving late afternoon and lining up at the door. This restaurant is located on the Port Orange Causeway/Bridge directly on the east side of the beautiful Halifax river.We had family visiting from Georgia and knew if we wanted to get in before the weekend crowds, we better get there by about 3pm.  We all enjoyed a pre dinner cocktail and then a most delicious meal. Their bloody mary's are legendary as are their other libations which they will prepare with or without alcohol.The salad bar and hot bar are famous here at Aunt Catfish and for over 40 years they have been serving up fresh seafood, a to die fo...

   Several years ago I wrote a blog about my Front Porch Makeover."I was inspired by beautiful photographs of gorgeous topiary trees in planters on either side of the front door."  I learned several things since that makeover...Number one, it's not that easy trying to keep these beautiful topiary plants alive and healthy. Surprisingly they made it through the hurricanes last year but the winter chill took its toll on them.  So, it was time to replace the plants and try to correct a few of the mistakes made from round one.  Purchase New Plants...The new topiary plants I purchased at Lowe’s. They were $30 each. One of the problems I had with the old planters was that they were too heavy. I learned that it is essential to be able to move these plants to get more sunlight occasionally and h...

What is good advertisement? Maybe it is when you notice it and you remember it? When I saw this car parked by the house we were selling in Port Orange, that’s exactly the feeling I had. It is probably not just the message; as there is nothing really intriguing, but it is because of the cute small car, color… all of it…And while the agent was showing our listing to her client, I took this photo.Good advertisement.
