How lucky are we to live in New England! I wake up every day feeling so blessed that we have it all here! Beautiful, sunny,  ocean front summers, foliage to die for falls, and glorious breathtaking winters with mother nature at her best. I wouldn't trade this for the world! So happy to bring it directly to you wherever you may be ....

TOP VIEW OF FLOWERS IN THEIR EXQUISITE VASE...SIMPLE BUT BEAUTIFUL

I love to collect and burn beautiful high end candles all over my home. No matter what time of year, candles offer such warmth and glow to the home. When the wax runs out, I do not throw away the glass candle holders. Instead, I fill them with beautiful flowers. You will find these all over my home and I am working on starting a trend with a major candle company to market the candles with Patty P in mind....I think it is a glamorous idea all my own!

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS OTHER THAN PATTY P?

I went to an estate sale in Marblehead run by my friend Brenda last Saturday. I managed to pick up this little beauty. From there I walked over to Cest La Vie to pick out a modern shade from Cassandra. Well, I started a trend.....people followed me over with their lamps and bought shades on my recommendation. I told them that combining old with new creates a special look all my own. I love coming up with new ideas ! I do this all for you, my faithful followers! Enjoy!

SIMPLE BUT DELICIOUS PLEASURES....THE BEST KIND IN LIFE

BAYS ENGLISH MUFFINS TOASTED TO START

PLUGRA EUROPEAN BUTTER, THICK CUT CRISPY BACON

LARGE PIECE OF SHARP CHEDDAR TO TOP OFF THIS TASTY LITTLE TREAT!

The people who know me, know I love to cook and come up with my own recipes. One day I am going to write my own cook book and call it "Someone's in the kitchen with Patty P."  From time to time I blog about the different dishes I have created and served to family and friends. This is my latest sandwich creation and the key to making it so tasty is the ingredients I use...for this I start with toasting Bays English Muffins which you can find at most grocery stores in the specialty section of the refrigerator area. I toast the muffins til golden brown, then I add a large pat of Plugra Butter which is european and contains 82% butterfat and is the most delicious butter in the world! I layer the butter, then a couple of strips of cooked thick cut bacon, then a slice of extra sharp white cheddar cheese to top it off....if this isn't one of the best sandwiches you have ever had, then let me know! I am always happy to share my delectable creations with all my wonderful followers...enjoy!
