In MY Kitchen March 2026

Yay! It's March first and I invite you to take a peek into what's been happening in my kitchen this past month. I'm sharing on Sherri's monthly In My Kitchen Share. 

Last Friday night I hosted a Shabbat (Sabbath) dinner.  I invited four couples to share the evening dinner with us. 

A Manatee Outside My Condo Building

Guess What I saw in the water outside my condo last week !!

He is hiding in the foliage and eating away happily. 

He is swimming away after being satisfied with his meal.

Looking for a soup recipe that you can throw together quickly for a last minute weeknight meal or get together?

I love a good bowl of hearty black bean soup, especially when it’s quick, comforting, and easy to make at home. The other night, I had friends over for a fun evening of playing Rummikub, and I thought—why not turn it into a soup and salad dinner before the game.
