Me being me, doing what I do. Cooking, growing, canning, travel, books–whatever floats my boat that day!
Another blog post in one day! Stay tuned, I will have at least one more, hopefully two. But no promises on that. Life has been insanely crazy lately. I haven’t had as much time to work on this. I started a new job last week. It’s another part time gig. Now I have two part …
I made this several weeks back. Then I lost my notes. Now I found my notes. I feel bad on nights I work because my husband has to make dinner. He doesn’t mind, and never complains. But I like to surprise him once in a while and have an oven ready meal prepped for him. …
Tonight, is proof you can have a heart-warming, yet CHEAP and simple, Valentine’s Day. Let’s face it, February can get expensive in this household. We have several birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Super Bowl and our wedding anniversary. My husband and I agreed not to spend any money on today’s Hallmark Holiday. We show our love and …
This is a winner. Oh my goodness were these scrumptious! I cannot take credit; this recipe came from a Facebook Reel. The plate licker sent me a link the other night and suggested we make these. The next, night I did just that. The guy that posted them is @4everkelz if you wanna follow. The …
Welp. Time got away from me again. Sorry for the long breaks between posts. Life has been busy! Some good and some not so good. A very close family member was diagnosed with breast cancer recently. Her prognosis is really good, and we are all so thankful for that. She had surgery last week. So …
I know, I know…. it’s been way too long since my last blog post. I apologize. New Year’s, Christmas, Football, being sick, work…and way more going on than I’d like to talk about. However, here I am. I am back bitches! It’s been pretty “winter” out lately. We’ve got a couple feet of snow in …
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 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 …
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 …
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. …
