by Chrysa SmithI'm a sucker for good looks.Regardless of what you say, looks do matter.They matter in a mate, they matter in everything you select, be it a car, furniture, clothing and your food. So it's no surprise that I've been drawn to Target's private label selection of food: namely Archer Farms: Tasty Food, Tasty Price. It's got that clean 'Martha Stewart' type of elegant design.

by Chrysa SmithGive us this day our cranberry bread?Far be it for me to suggest that cranberry bread has any religious significance. And no, I am not part of some ridiculous berry-eating cult. But I say what I do because this delicious recipe for cranberry bread comes to us compliments of a Jesuit priest.What is it about religous orders and food? I mean there are the Trappist Monks with their historic recipe for [...]
by Chrysa SmithIt's cool. It's 10am. I am in my jammies.My hot cup of tea is on the desk, and here I am sitting at my computer---once again.I just opened an email from a lady, a friend, with whom I've shared a lot of laughs and heartaches; illness and break-ups; aging parent issues, trouble with and laughs about kids. So, I'm in no joking mood. I'm waxing poetic about the important things in [...]
by Chrysa SmithI'm back.Yes, it's been awhile since I've dined out--well for more than a slice of pizza, Panera or Moe's. And I've missed it. So let me share with you a little slice of good taste in the city of a quirky river town: Lily's on the Canal in Lambertville, NJ.If you live near the Doylestown area, you might know of Lily already. She's got a few locations, and well, in my [...]
