Life has continued to be busy around here. Paint is going up on the walls of the new house as well as the showers almost being finished. I'm also tackling an oil change with a very difficult to remove oil plug. I am a girl who works on her own cars. Granted, don't ask me [...]
This is a recipe I developed from the fact I had a bunch of chicken bones left over. I do a lot of food prep, including baking chicken breast and pork tenderloin so it is ready to eat throughout the week. Normally I buy boneless skinless breasts, but all they had were bone-in. So I [...]
Things are pretty busy around our house. Between working from home, working on personal projects, getting our new home ready and making some upgrades to our current house, there's a lot to do. Even with all of this, I refuse to go for takeout when I can make something healthy and, quite frankly, better that [...]
Update from the last post. I bought the Instant Pot. I am doing some experimenting to see what works. I'm finding following the direction is a bit difficult because there is so much variation with different types of food. I tried my Lentils and Rice recipe and didn't let it vent long enough and there [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
This week has been a tough week. End of summer Eastern Equine Encephalitis is rearing it's ugly head along with COVID-19. Needless to say, I have had a few late nights. However, like all outbreaks, they are really busy in the beginning and then a rhythm sets in. 18 years doing this, I'm pretty used [...]
Before I get into the recipe for this week, I wanted to talk about changes that happen to us over time. I have gained some not so insignificant weight recently. I'm disappointed that I let it get this far out of hand. While this has happened, I wanted to share with you what I have [...]
This week's recipe is one out of necessity. I have some corn tortillas that crumble when you try to use them and I don't want them to go to waste. Tony has also gone back to eating meat. He has A-Fib and found that the vegetarian diet was making him have more episodes than eating [...]
