Blog- Beer vs. Cheese- What does heal the soul?

(I wrote this on Saturday, May 14th, but I just could not post it till today) Today is the 36th anniversary of our first date. Our first date is the calendar date I celebrate most because without that first date, there would be no wedding date, no anniversary, or the...
Travels with Chip- Guess where we went?

Travels with Chip- Guess where we went?

by Karen | May 8, 2022 | All, Blog, Chip, Still Cooking, Stories

There is not a day, nor frankly, a moment that goes by that I don’t feel the unfathomable loss of Chip. It hits me when I attempt the mind and body quiet of yoga.  It is a stab in the heart when I am alone in the cheese section of Wegmans. It is a pain to see my...

About Me

KarenHello and welcome.
I am often asked, “What is Pasta on the Floor?”
Pasta on the Floor is different for everyone. It is a recipe that tells a story and inspires them to try something new. For others, stories of family, joy, loss, and hope engage with them.
