Happy Valentine’s week.   I have some great Worthy Reads for you this week.  The photo alone will make you want to make this Gnocchi recipe.  A perfect dinner for a chilly February night.  Be sure to click on the video below.  It’s mother nature at work and fascinating.  Enjoy these links from around the web.

Recipe of the Week

This Gnocchi With Pomodoro Sauce from Heidi at Foodie Crush looks so delicious and flavorful.  The key is the oil which is gently infused with fresh herbs.

Baby Turtles Being Born on the Beach

Last year I shared about my experience on a Florida beach seeing Sea Turtle Nests.  I didn’t get to see the turtles hatch but recently saw this video on You Tube of leatherback turtles hatching and marching towards the ocean in Vero Beach, Florida.  It’s fascinating and I had to share it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Since it’s Valentine’s week, take the time to reflect on all the love in your life.  These pictures beautifully depict them. Whatever your love is, nurture it, embrace it and enjoy it!

9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge

9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge

I came across this article 9 Ways to Make Your Life Better with the Danish Concept of Hygge in Town & Country Magazine.  Frankly, I had never heard of the word Hygge.  Have you?

“Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish concept cannot be translated to one single word but encompasses a feeling of cozy contentment and well-being through enjoying the simple things in life.”

So what’s the big deal about Hygge and why am I sharing it?    Well, I found it interesting that “this national obsession with all things cozy is credited as one of the reasons why Denmark is always at the top of the list of the world’s happiest countries, despite their infamously miserable winters.”  

I love the positive spin hygge puts on their life. It’s something we should all work at.

I am so thankful that the ice storm that was predicted to hit Columbus never came.  We had a busy weekend with two nights of having guests for dinner.  Friday night I made my tried and true Rack of Lamb.  It’s so easy to prepare and a great entrée for a work night. Last night I tried a couple of new recipes that I will soon share on the blog.
