Me being me, doing what I do. Cooking, growing, canning, travel, books–whatever floats my boat that day!
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 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 …
