Alysia Marie’s Famous Kale Salad

While we were in Washington State we were able to travel 3 hours from our home town to Walla Walla, WA to visit with Tony’s sister and her family for a night. It was such a wonderful visit! We weren’t able to see them… Continue Reading “Alysia Marie’s Famous Kale Salad”

The Race Is On

Remember when I told you I was going to have a huge organic vegetable garden this summer? I even started some of the longer growing seeds indoors for the first time. I had visions of canning and freezing and having all kinds of wonderful… Continue Reading “The Race Is On”

Pretending It’s Spring

There’s not much more we can do, really. Well, besides maybe whine and complain. But I think we’ve already tried that and it didn’t work. So all that’s left is…pretending. We woke up this morning to eight inches of new snow. Yep. And we’re supposed… Continue Reading “Pretending It’s Spring”

Staying Fueled

This is my latest easy, go-to snack, that I’m somewhat obsessed with. It’s simple because most of it is already made for me. All I add is a drizzle of olive oil and rice wine vinegar with herbs. It’s packed full of protein and… Continue Reading “Staying Fueled”

Out With The Old, In With The New!

Vegetable Pakora Lunch Quite yummy but maybe being a bit overshadowed by those gorgeous organic strawberries… I am quickly learning that until our house sells, I pretty much cannot commit to a whole heck of a lot. I kind of just have to wake up… Continue Reading “Out With The Old, In With The New!”

Finally Time For a Home Cooked Meal

Life has been absolutely crazy around here. Tony is traveling and changing time zones twice a week, and the house viewing traffic is picking up dramatically. That last part is a good thing, but it puts us in the position of having to be… Continue Reading “Finally Time For a Home Cooked Meal”

Fried Chicken Livers & Smashed Potatoes with Pan Gravy

A meal like this is just where all of those bacon drippings you’ve been hoarding come in handy. You do that too, right? This is how I keep my bacon drippings in the fridge. It lasts a very, very, long time and then you… Continue Reading “Fried Chicken Livers & Smashed Potatoes with Pan Gravy”

A Slice of Life – My Corner of The World

Yesterday was heavenly. I decided to set aside my “to-do” list and just really focus on enjoying the day. I spent the majority of it outside. As you may have read (a thousand times) in earlier blogs, we have been waiting a very long… Continue Reading “A Slice of Life – My Corner of The World”

A Mish Mash of Life

Roasting a chicken at 9:30 AM in 90 degree weather…why not? I’ve been addicted to these three seasonings lately. We do have central air conditioning, but with several days in a row of very hot weather, even the air conditioner let’s out a sigh… Continue Reading “A Mish Mash of Life”

Sunday Dinner

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. I’m not sure what it is about it really, but I love it. Maybe it’s because we are saying goodbye to the week behind us, which was hopefully successful and peaceful, and preparing to say hello… Continue Reading “Sunday Dinner”
