When it comes to pumpkin pie. My brother is a purist. Libby's pumpkin pie filling with a regular crust. I am not a purist. Making a regular crust gluten free is a pain. Since we are not having the regular turkey dinner at their place this year, I wanted to still make my brother his [...]
As luck would have it, we received several portions of venison. A friend of Tony gave us some after doing some car repairs. Tony then asked me if I can do a Sunday dinner with the roast. Ok. Of course I can do that. What can I do with a roast. Of course, make a [...]
Over the past few months, I had been increasing tired. I couldn't pinpoint why. I was spending most of my Sundays napping throughout the day. That's unlike me. I'm a pretty energetic person and never needed naps before. I knew it wasn't overtraining because my running times were good and I wasn't feeling like I [...]
Happy New Year! Before I do a recipe with black eyed peas like I normally do, I wanted to first get something out of my freezer. I made the chocolate red wine cake with raspberry buttercream frosting and have a whole bunch of frosting in my freezer that I didn't use. So I looked for a recipe that [...]
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 [...]
I'm doing another dessert this week. I know it's not the holidays any more, but my doing a dessert, I am being strategic. Since I am at home, I am not using as many of my frozen leftovers. Tony wants to stay on lentils and rice for a while to lower his calorie intake. So [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
