These last two weeks have been a doozy. I'm tired. A class then a week long exercise. I used a lot of meals this week. Time to get more in the freezer. I'm glad I'm not travelling until May. I don't think I will be home much that month. Travelling by plane is also getting [...]

Italian Mushroom Stew
I guess I have now become a makeup artist. No, I haven't switched jobs. My mother in law wants me to do her makeup before she goes out dancing. I like the way she looks much better when I do here makeup over when she does it. I've seen her makeup over many years and [...]
Pork Tenderloin with Peach Sauce
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 [...]
Swedish Cabbage Casserole – Kålpudding
Things are moving along at the new house. However, the huge pile of beige tile we had in our garage is now down to nothing. This means we had to pull up tile in a part of our current house to place down in our new one. Now I have a bare floor that needs [...]
Pork and Vegetable Vindaloo
I will admit I have an ulterior motive for this recipe. My extra freezer is on the fritz and I am in need to use up some pork that was in it. It also got a little freezer burned, so I needed something that had some punch. I found a recipe from My Heart Beets [...]
Real Low Sodium Hot Dogs
Have you ever noticed that some things are never really low sodium. Like ham or many Asian sauces. Hot dogs are another one of those things. When a hot dog is listed as "low sodium", it's still very high. I wanted to set out to make our own low sodium hot dogs, but didn't know [...]
Kapustnica
This recipe was influenced by my Mom. I am always looking for ways to increase my eastern European recipe repertoire. The last time she visited, all she wanted to eat for dinner was the Polish Bigos I made. Any time I come across a new eastern European recipe, I want to update it for her. [...]
Cowboy Charro Beans
I swear getting older sucks. Not that I'm concerned about being someone I was twenty years ago, but I don't want to relegate myself to giving up. I gained around fifteen pounds over the last year from a combination of stress, hormones and new medication. I'm not happy about it. Now that I am in [...]
Slow-Cooker Pork and Apple Curry
This week I'm letting the slow cooker do the work. I'm going to be busy cleaning out some metal in our new to us house for recycling. We have a house that is kind of new to us. It's the house Tony grew up in. It was given to us after my father-in-law died and [...]
Pork Ginataan
This week has been SO busy. Working two emergencies at once is beginning to wear me down. With Eastern Equine Encephalitis, the emergency period is short. It lasts long enough to make sure mosquito treatment is applied to prevent further animal and human cases. That also mean some long days. We have a lot of [...]
