I am actually going to make this one when I am done writing this morning. It’s rainy out and I picked some Roma tomatoes, a couple of green peppers and a bunch of … Continue reading Garden Salsa
Sitting here this morning trying to figure out what to blog about. This salad looks so good and doesn’t disappoint. Before my husband went out to sand the porch deck he asked me what I was going to make him for breakfast. I immediately said leftover pizza. He said if I put a fried egg on it. I said ummmm no! I started thinking and … Continue reading Panzanella Salad
I made these the other night and they were so easy and full of flavor you have got to try them out. We are a meat and potato family for the most part. But some times I want something a little different than potatoes or even rice. I rarely ever make pasta for the “starch” part of dinner but we had already had rice and … Continue reading one pot parmesan garlic noodles

Trying to find a little inspiration this morning. The last few or more like several times it has been beyond painful trying to upload my photos from my camera to my laptop. This morning was no different and really puts a bummer on getting in the mood to want to write or even deal with electronics at all. Change of scenery has helped a little … Continue reading Sunshine Salad

Thankfully he is home now and doing fine but we have had several family members staying with us over the whole ordeal.

Good morning and Happy Easter! I hope everyone is hanging in there, I know I say that every week now but I don’t know what else to say. I am going on week 5 of working from home, I think I have left my sanctuary maybe 5 times over the last month. The last time it was for my husband he injured himself and ended … Continue reading Scalloped Potatoes
OK so maybe the title didn’t grab your attention but let me tell you these were melt in your mouth delicious. A few weeks ago I was going through a bunch of recipes and making my grocery list.
