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 [...]
So much going on this week. I put new brake pads on my car. Ended up getting a bit of a workout doing so. Every time I do car work, I end up sweating a fair bit. Think about it, lifting heavy things and using some effort to loosen tight bolts. Not every workout has [...]
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 [...]
What a busy week! Tony has been working on our old house getting ready to sell. We have so much stuff! We have so much stuff because we accumulated things from others in the family. They didn't have room for it, so it ended up with us. That includes cars. One of our cars came [...]
We are finally this week working on our old house to get it ready for sale. Tony is starting by getting the holes patched and ready for paint. We still have a bunch of stuff over there that needs to be moved, sold or donated. I have a feeling most of the stuff will not [...]
Another week of working on the house. We are so close but yet not quite there yet. I installed a reverse osmosis system, and was so proud of myself. That was until the needle valve started leaking. I hope a new plastic compression sleeve will fix it. Otherwise it's painting and installing shower doors this [...]
I am writing about a chili that I found that was just plain interesting. I've done chili with lentils before, but not with the base of carrots. I made chili with beets, why not with carrots? I can see this being a little sweeter than your typical chili. Carrots can make a wonderful base for [...]
This week I decided to go back to my tried and true lentils. Can't go wrong with these. This recipe is a version of chef Sanjeev Kapoor's signature dish. This recipe is creamy and hearty as well as spicy. The recipe will only work with the lentil types that are listed, which are urad and [...]
Pati Jinich is one of my favorite Mexican chefs. I love how she blends here Mexican cuisine with American that makes it more than just Tex-Mex. It is in a world of its own. One of her creations is a tamal casserole. I love because it's better than a tamale pie because it's actually made [...]
Now that we are in the beginning stages of warm weather, I thought it would be a great time for another veggie burger recipe. I am always looking for a good veggie burger recipe because eating a burger made with meat is too many calories. A standard hamburger patty is about 480 calories. And that's [...]
