Happy New Year everyone! Let's hope this year goes better than the last. Hopefully you have learned about building your own workout station at home. With COVID, it's a good excuse not to give the gym your hard earned money. Make sure who you follow is legit too. Anyone can say they are professionals, but [...]
You have probably noticed that I have been posting some desserts. I realized I had some good ones and figured you may want something that was not so bad for your diet. This recipe for "Thin Mint" cookies is a gluten free copycat recipe from Kroger. I made these last year and they turned out [...]
This recipe came to me when I realized I had a huge container of unsweetened applesauce and nothing to do with it. Plus, I really wanted apple pie, but I didn't want to spend the ridiculous amount of calories on that. I am also lowering my carb intake. I found that the weight gain I [...]
Now that I have made a recipe with the turkey legs, there is still the business of cooking the leftover bits. This includes the neck, backbone, giblets and the rest of the turkey frame. I typically like to use a slow cooker for this because it does such a good job bringing out goodness from [...]
I hope you had a socially distanced Thanksgiving. I know it's not been ideal, but I can safely say you want your family to be around for future holidays. Our small group quarantined for 14 days and did single serving dishes and kept our distance on the day of. My mother didn't come down to [...]
Another week and another day to work on our house. I spent last week cleaning out one corner of a shed. Typically, one corner should not take all that long, but stuffed in a small space were: several bags of chewed up foam padding, two large carpets, two jackets, a tarp, a rusty fold up [...]
(Forgive me for the generic picture this week. The nephews had me so busy that I forgot to take pictures. I'm sure you can imagine what your standard chili looks like. Just more orange.) Everyone should have a basic chili recipe. It's one of those recipes that you can pull out and feed a crowd [...]
Still working on our house. This week I am doing some organizing. You know those small items I kept? Now they need to be organized. Tony is great for organizing big things. He HATES organizing small items. I don't mind that. I did this a while back when I helped him clean out our garage. [...]
Right now I am back to cleaning cluttered spaces. We have two sheds that got VERY cluttered before by in-laws moved out. Since this house is Tony's childhood home, cleaning out this part will be hard for him. Since his Dad passed away, there are many memories in the stuff. This leads to keeping too [...]
I decided to go for a warm salad this week. We've been pretty busy around here. Tony has been hanging drywall in our new to us house. I am doing the painful task of breaking out a shower pan that I built and starting over. I am definitely not a great cement layer. However, I [...]
