So I just spent the last few hours looking for photos for this recipe that I posted back in 2015 because the images seem to be lost on my post. I am not entirely sure how or why some of my photos disappear; I am only slightly tech savvy and I basically know enough to get by and know when to call in the … Continue reading Maple roasted chicken and acorn squash
Happy Memorial Day! Let’s use today to count our blessings and stand proud! Tis the season to be gardening! Our raised beds are ready for planting, we actually bought a small rototiller and I have no idea why it took us so long. I think we have always thought since they are raised beds we couldn’t use one. We ordered one online; only because they … Continue reading Fresh Corn Tomato Bacon Salad

While it may be the end of summer for some, I am not going down without a fight. My garden is still giving me lots of veggies; it even has finally snapped out of it and we have fresh garden tomatoes. I have made a ridiculous amount of kosher dill pickles. My zucchini plants did not do well this year, maybe a dozen in … Continue reading Chow Chow relish – water bath canning

What to do with the leftover corn on the cob? Not sure if your local grocery store requires you to buy a 6 – 12 ears of corn; well require might be a “strong” word it’s more like encourage you to buy more ears than you need. You can buy 6 for say $2.99 or you can buy it for a buck an ear. So … Continue reading Fresh Corn Tomato Bacon Salad
My family has re-discovered the outside patio area. We; well actually I wanted a sitting area on the patio. Not just any sitting area I wanted someplace where we can; after a long hard day of working we could sit and relax comfortably. I finally pulled the trigger on an outdoor couch and we LOVE it! We make plans of when we could meet, what … Continue reading BBQ Steak, Sweet Potato & Squash
