Tonight’s dinner was brought to us by Everyday Food magazine. This magazine is growing on me. I like how practical it is. If you’re looking for something quick and easy, it’s the perfect go-to recipe source. Tonight’s quest for something simple and grillable led me to a recipe for Marinated […]

After a very long break of not getting out the sewing machine. I had the itch. Zander has been in need of curtains, and I’ve been too lazy to get them made for him. At the same time, Abigail found this really cute fabric at Jo-Anne’s, so I thought I’d […]

It’s baaack!For this second edition of I’ll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours- hosted by Sweetnicks, we have been asked to reveal something rather scary…The spice drawer. Now I am certain that there are many people who actually have a spice drawer. I think I grew up in […]

And darn it. Wouldn’t you know, I forgot it was Wednesday, and failed to weigh myself this morning. I just ran up and weighed myself, but I am a firm believer that if you are going to track your weight, you need to weigh yourself at the same time every […]

See this? I grew this! These are French Breakfast Radishes from my garden. I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about radishes before. While at my little plot of soil, I found that my peas are also doing very well- in fact, I need to find more trellis for […]

The strawberry fields are still plentiful and juicy. I was very happy to see that when we headed to the field this morning. In my mind I had visions of the kids and I managing to pick about 20 pounds of strawberries- visions of jamming dancing in my head. Zander […]

Today I made my first foray to the Farmer’s Market this season. It was so nice to be back. 🙂 I spent the morning smiling as I made my way from stall to stall, looking over every single item. It is so wonderful to see all the new vegetables that […]

Does the newer look work for you? Or not? I can’t decide if I like it. Let me know what you think. I want to do some customized tweaking, but my last attempts are what led me to a complete template change…I couldn’t figure out how to fix a pretty […]

I confess. I am a sucker for a bottle. Judge a book by it’s cover? Absolutely. So when Andy brought home this bottle of wine from The Wine Premier, I really hoped it was a good one. The blue bottle itself is quite stunning, but the clean look of the […]

Michelle from Chef Michele’s Adventures tagged me for this Meme a while back, and I thought I’d better get around to it. 5 items in the freezer Mango Peach Juice Bars Turkey Mignon Strawberries frozen in sugar syrup Lemonade Concentrate Blueberry Frozen Yogurt 5 items in my closet Vaccuum Cleaner […]

I do have something to post about today. I found a new way to purchase groceries. Today I received a package from Amazon. Yup. You read that right. Amazon.com is now selling groceries. Curious about this development, I just had to explore and see what they had to offer. Turns […]

Gosh it was such a long day!!!!! Yesterday we had a brief outage of our cable services. It lasted probably half an hour, and for us the cable means no TV, no Internet, and no Phone. Yikes! It finally came back on, and life was good. Until I attempted to […]
