Me being me, doing what I do. Cooking, growing, canning, travel, books–whatever floats my boat that day!
SO. MUCH. FOOD. We have so much food leftover from Thanksgiving. Typically, my go-to is soup. Let’s be real. Who doesn’t love soup? And you can turn virtually anything into soup. Turkey Tortilla is a good one after thanksgiving. But damn. I’ve been feeding this crew a lot of soup lately. My husband suggested turkey …
I am baking and selling Christmas cookies this season. Below is pricing and a description of standard cookies I make. I can make others if you have something in mind, within reason. I am not a professional, these are not inspected by the state or anything like that. I have been food safety certified in …
I swear it’s that time of year when it feels like every week is a rough week. Kids are challenging, people are getting sick, adults are getting grumpy, friends are getting cabin fever, holiday stress is looming. I contribute it to the weather. It’s freaking cold! And we all know it’s only going to get …
First—8 and 1 baby!!! Our Vikings pulled out another win yesterday and this feels AMAZING! SKOL It was a pretty busy weekend. My 20-year-old moved into his own place on Saturday. Friday was spent packing and teaching him how to make Tuna Melts. One of his favorites. After we all ate, he and I had …
Yeah, Chili. That’s right. It’s chili season! Who doesn’t love chili? Well, several people actually. But that is their problem. They are missing out on a whole boatload of yumminess! As I mentioned in my introduction (left side menu if you still need to read it), I work part time evenings and weekends. This week …
Just kidding, I can’t stand pumpkin spice! But I do love being festive. Just without that ridiculous pumpkin spice flavor. Real short post today. I did some quick shopping at the Dollar Tree and wanted to share some of my treasure finds. I didn’t realize they have clearance days! What? Heck yeah, they do! I …
One of the things I enjoy the most about my life, is how fun my husband makes it. Together we turn simple chores and everyday life into f’n FUN! Life is not all sunshine and rainbows. Seriously. It’s been a rough week. We choose not to dwell on that part. We needed some happy vibes …
I have been doing Halloween stuff for the last several weeks. But I didn’t have my blog up and running yet. You are getting a lot all at once. Scare season is almost over, I want to share what I can, while it’s still relevant. I will try to condense as much as I can. …
Something I try to do every year is decorate Halloween cookies with kids. Now that mine are mostly older, it’s nice to branch out and decorate with our good friend’s kids. This year is no exception. Life has been busy lately, let’s be real—it’s not all sunshine and roses. I had actually forgotten about cookies. …
Recently I had a Tupperware party. Yes. That is a thing here in Minny. We love our Tupperware! Thankfully I have a great Tupperware lady, Jan. You can click on her name to order anything your heart desires from Tupperware. Anyway, I am a sucker for new kitchen gadgets. I get this from my mother-in-law. …
