Floors, floors and more floors. That's what's been going on at our new house. Tony lays the tile, and I come behind him and clean the tile, grout, and remove the grout haze. The tile floors look great. I am glad we are using tile instead of another type of flooring. Way easier to clean. [...]
I have the last of the peaches to use up. I thought I would do a classic peach pie, but in bar form to make my life easier. It's been busy. More floor is being laid and I have grouting to do. We are getting close to having all of the floors done. We have [...]
I have a five pound bag of frozen peaches to use up. I bought these for Tony, who never got around to eating them. They are taking space in my freezer so I decided to do a couple of peach recipes to get rid of them. This week's recipe is from Taste of Home for [...]
I managed to get a few floors in our new house done during my time off. I'm pleased with the results. If you ever have to lay tile floors, Spin Doctor Tile Leveling System is the way to go (link not sponsored). We don't know what we ever did before these. It made tiling a [...]
Now that I have some wine left over from the last recipe, I wanted to put it to good use. I am also busy this week with laying floors and needed something simple to make. The floors are coming along slowly but surely. We will soon have only one room left to do, and that [...]
Now that I'm back from the conference, I'm worn out. I have a week's worth of work on the house I need to do. I'll be handling this over the next week while I'm on vacation. Maybe after both houses are done and one sold, I can have real vacation. Maybe soon. Oh well. This [...]
I really don't have time to cook this week. With a conference I have to travel to coming up and working on the house, it's just too busy. So I opted for a recipe that could be put together in a flash. Fried rice is one of those dishes that is easy to make and [...]
I have had a reprieve from working on the house for a couple of weeks. I have more flooring to put down, but I can't do that until Tony is done with the tile work. Good news, we will have a working toilet on both floors by the end of this weekend. That doesn't sound [...]
I love tamales. However, there is a reason that they are made during the holidays. They take a bit of time to make. That's why when I go out to a Mexican restaurant, I order them most of the time. Because I love them so much, I am always looking for an easier way to [...]
The Millionaire Shortbread was a huge hit. I'm always amazed at how some recipe can come out so well. However, those took some time to make. The recipe for this week from Southern Living for Brown Butter-Maple-Pecan Blondies, not so much. The longest step is cooling the browned butter. This recipe also works well with [...]
