Reading Time: 6 minutes Good Morning Friends, It is a beauty of a day as Summer starts to unfold. I launched my book, The Second Act Entrepreneur Tuesday March 22, 2022, three days before my 62nd birthday. When I wrote the draft of the book, the first title was Apartments to Hot Sauce, as that is what most of […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Why I LOVE a Side Hustle Most of my life I have had some form or another of a SideHustle. As a youngster Cutting Grass and Shoveling Snow, to Social Media Marketing later in life, and an array of others in between. While always having a full time job or a business I was running, […]
Reading Time: 4 minutes What is Enough? I have been thinking a lot about “Enough” since post retirement last July. I have had interest in minimalism and permaculture for a while too. I certainly have plenty of time now to think “Enough” through and to practice. The more I read about it, the more distasteful things seem. Let’s start […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Cast Iron Cooking Whether it’s called red sauce, sugo or gravy, you’ll find a big pot of the rich tomato sauce simmering all Sunday long in many Italian-American households. Every family has their own version, but this recipe includes shreddy pork shoulder, sausage and meatballs. This slow-cooker version lets you simmer it overnight or while […]

This recipe is loosely inspired by wonton noodle soup, but replaces homemade wontons with store-bought frozen dumplings for a quick alternative. The soup base, which comes together in just 10 minutes, is surprisingly rich and […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Old-Fashioned Beef Stew This classic stick-to-your-ribs stew is the ideal project for a chilly weekend. Beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and red wine come together in cozy harmony. If you are feeding a crowd, good news: It doubles (or triples) beautifully. We LOVE Cast Iron Cooking at UrbaneFarm. UrbaneFarm is a purveyor of Hot Sauces, Fish […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Sheet-Pan Mushroom Parmigiana This smart weeknight dinner offers all the comforting flavors of a classic Parmigiana, but with minimal work. Earthy portobello mushrooms are used here, offering a perfect cradle for the red sauce and creamy mozzarella. Use good quality store-bought marinara sauce (vodka, arrabiata or amatriciana), a much-underrated pantry item that can turn around […]
