What a difference a week makes. We are so close that I am running out of things to do until the last room will come together. I expect that the last things that Tony has to do will finish in the next couple of weeks. I finished shower doors in one bathroom. Now it looks [...]

Salty-Sweet Butterscotch Cookies
This week I am starting the cleaning of rooms that are finished in the house. Making sure to get the last bit of paint and dust off the floors and doing a final check of where touch ups may be needed. Tony is finishing up any of the other projects in the house. When we [...]
Lentil Stew
Another week of working on the house. We are so close but yet not quite there yet. I installed a reverse osmosis system, and was so proud of myself. That was until the needle valve started leaking. I hope a new plastic compression sleeve will fix it. Otherwise it's painting and installing shower doors this [...]
Low Carb, Dairy Free Pumpkin Ice Cream
The house is literally down to the home stretch. The amount of large projects is dwindling. I am finished with painting my bedroom in a color which I thought was going to be a warm gray. It ended up being taupe instead. When you are saving money on paint, there are bound to be a [...]
Creamy Vegan Mushroom, Tofu, and Wild Rice Soup
As I write this I am taking a rest day today. I'm not feeling well. My body basically said, "I've had enough". So I am taking some walks and doing light yoga to recover. Tony, of course, is still working. He is the Energizer bunny. Ever since I stupidly overtrained, I need to listen to [...]
Lower Carb Flapjack Bars
The house is getting there. I got another room mostly painted. Twice a day I go to the house to work towards completing something. The hope is to be close to done by the end of the month. We'll see. Depends on how much I can get done. Since I am so busy I chose [...]
Tofu, Oats & Vegetable Upma
We are coming in on the home stretch. I am painting for the foreseeable future and Tony is getting the shelving and final drywall hung. I'm working everyday. It's hard, but the finish line is in sight. This week's recipe is one that uses up some leftover steel cut oats I have laying around. I [...]
Low Carb Pumpkin Whoopie Pies
I decided to change things up on the dessert end this week. I will be making more ice cream, but I wanted to do something different. This week I started working some evenings on the house because we are getting close. The countertops are in the kitchen as well as a working sink and dishwasher. [...]
Vegetarian Pinto Bean Soup
I decided this week to go with a soup. It's not quite sweater weather yet, but Tony loves soups. Frankly, so do I. I wanted to go with something simple because we are still working on the house. We are in the home stretch and everything we finish just makes the house complete. I am [...]
Vegan Low Carb Peanut Butter Avocado Ice Cream
The last ice cream recipe went over really well and I wanted try another one. This week is again something I developed from bits and pieces of other recipes. I also wanted a healthier version of ice cream that lower in carbs, high in healthy fats and lower in calories. I hope you all are [...]
