I know this recipe is coming a little later than usual, but that's the way things went. I do believe you can get a little New Year's luck any time of year. Anyway, as I write this I am getting over a cold. Not doing as well as I like to be. These days, I don't take sick time [...]
I know today is New Years Eve. I hope everyone is enjoying today whether you celebrate or not. Tony and I don't go out for New Years Eve. We're too tired most of the time and it just doesn't sound fun anymore. However, we do have a tradition. I make a spread of healthy appetizers for dinner. We munch on [...]
Now that I have a bunch of chickpeas to use up, I'm making another dish that uses them. Last week's recipe was a bust. One of the other things I forgot to mention is that they may have failed due to using sugar substitutes. Macrons are so finicky. Note for next week. I will be [...]
Since I have some chickpeas left over and I wanted to add to my repertoire of vegan recipes, I am doing a chickpea dish. I'm doing this for my sister-in-law too. One of the things I noticed when she cooked for us was the lack of protein in the dish. Everyone should eat enough protein. [...]
Our social life has been picking up as of late. That means I don't have as much time to cook. We got together with some friends for an evening in. I ended up cooking up a Middleastern spread with hummus, tabbouleh, keto pita, and hashweh. They brought a board game we had never heard of [...]
What a week. While nothing earth shattering happened, I did something I had not done before. I went to see a minor league team play. I'm not a huge baseball fan, but I wanted to take Tony out for something fun. He is a baseball fan. We went to see the Lansing Lugnuts play. It [...]
I'm back from my travels this week. The upper peninsula of Michigan is a beautiful place. If you want untamed wilderness, that is the place to go. Cities are few and far between. There are only a handful. Those cities are very small compared to a place like Grand Rapids or Detroit. Plenty of camping, [...]
This week I'm up to some painting and laying flooring. I took the week off to help out with the old house. Tony has been needing some extra help for a while and this is the first week I could take off. I finally felt confident enough to take the week off because I have [...]
I love a good veggie burger. I made a few from all different types of recipes. They are made from everything under the sun. Since I was in the mood to make a veggie burger this week, I did a search for a recipe to adapt. It turns out, in that search, I found someone [...]
I am thrilled that I have a regular schedule this week. Travelling takes a lot out of me. I like to travel, but it's been getting harder and harder to be off schedule. I make sleep a priority. I refuse to buy into the "I slept the least" contest. The people who display their lack [...]
