Well, maybe not a dollar short… but definitely a day late. As I posted yesterday, I had a stomach bug thingy going on - not sure if it was from something I ate or a virus, but I was pretty much horizontal and green most of the day. Little Bit ended up coming home from … Continue reading »

(we) just have to try this…
If you’re like me, you’re always looking for something new to try – and yet I always seem to stick to the same tried-and-true recipes. I think it is because it is easier on a busy week night to stick with what you know (and know your family will eat!) than to break out the … Continue reading »
Hideaways
I have fond memories of various different hideaways I had as a child. There was the banana tree in the back yard of my great-grandma’s house where my brother and I had our own “personal” branch each, along with other branches which had specific functions and uses. We’d sit in that tree and make noises … Continue reading »
Menu Plan Monday ~ 29 November
Back to reality today. After a week of lazing about at Mom’s house, it’s back to the regular routine. I made a monster shopping trip on Sunday afternoon, restocking on all the perishables and produce/dairy that had gone bad while we were out of town. That necessitated a cleaning out of the refrigerator (thank you, … Continue reading »
Breakfast Goodness
Many of you have asked for my baked oatmeal recipe. I used to make one that was so, so good, but not so healthy. I happened upon a recipe on the web on a WLS board and have been tweaking it for the past few months until I reached a point where it was reliably … Continue reading »
So simple, yet so good
I am having one of my favorite salads for lunch today. I don’t know why, but I have been on a salad kick lately. Maybe my body needs the greens. It doesn’t matter. I’m just loving eating salads again. I haven’t had many since my surgery because it seemed silly to fill my belly with … Continue reading »
Menu Plan Monday ~ 11 Oct
Happy Monday!! I am so loving this fall weather. Makes me feel so alive and so much like baking and creating. Busy week in our house this week – the girls had a break from dance classes last week, but we’re back on the normal schedule this week so we will be busy. I’ve got … Continue reading »
Sprouting Feathers
My family loves chicken. So much so that I think I could cook it for them every day and they would be happy. Well, except for BigGirl (the Meatasauraus) who needs her steak and “pork butt” to be happy. I seem to cook an awful lot of chicken recipes. Do you? This past weekend (as … Continue reading »
Menu Plan Monday ~ 4 Oct
I’m not going to be cooking much this week. That is because I spent a lot of time cooking this past weekend. We had company all weekend and dinner guests Sunday night – I cooked several big meals and we’ll be enjoying the bounty of leftovers for a few days. I love it when that … Continue reading »
Menu Plan Monday ~ 27 September
I bet you thought I wasn’t going to post a menu plan today… didn’t you? Since I posted on another topic this morning, you probably thought I was slacking off… Well, it would be understandable given the fact that I got home from out of town last night and had no clue what was in … Continue reading »
