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 …
Brrrrr…. It’s CHILI
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 …
Pumpkin, Spice and MN Nice?
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 …
Chopped Challenge at Home
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 …

Zucchini Bread Muffins
I know, zucchini season is long over. However, I wanted to share this recipe anyway because it was f**king awesome. My friend (same friend that gives me extra tomatoes) gave me a huge, and I mean HUGE, zucchini. Last year I had so much zucchini I couldn’t give it away fast enough. I made bread, …
Tomato Basil Soup (for canning)
Who doesn’t love tomato soup in the fall or winter? Or anytime for that matter!?! I absolutely love it. With grilled cheese, or without. It’s yummy. This summer I had a LOT of tomatoes. Not only did my garden produce many, a friend of mine gifted me with tons from her mother-in-law. In the past …
