I have no idea where my breakfast picture went.  I know that my battery was about to die on my DSLR, so I thought I used my iPhone, but I guess I didn’t.  Over the weekend I made a batch of my Pillsbury Grand breakfast biscuits.  I followed my recipe to the T, except I think the only thing I didn’t do was press down...

Tony wasn’t feeling too well this weekend.  So while he rested in our bedroom Saturday morning, I got my cleaning pants on.  Our house is never dirty, but when I know someone is coming over, all of a sudden I realize I haven’t dusted in a few weeks, the baseboards could be scrubbed.  It’s like the domino effect, once I cleaned one thing, then I...

  Today is International Can It Forward Day!  I am so excited to try my new canner – I haven’t checked my sale papers yet, but by this time of year I can usually get Roma tomatoes for .49 cents a pound.  There will be lots of salsa to be made!   You can watch the live feed here to watch demonstrations.  I think this...

I cheated on Chobani.  For some reason I only bought two plain Greek yogurts this week.  So when I was putting my breakfast together yesterday, I grabbed one of Tony’s Yoplait yogurts. OMG, it was SO sweet.  I could only eat about 2 bites before I threw it out.  I guess I am just used to my tangy Chobani!  So don’t worry Tony, the rest...

It’s not very often that I want a sweet breakfast, but sometimes on the weekends that’s what I crave.  I love making up a big batch of pancakes because they are so easy to reheat during the week and the freeze so well.  We’ve discovered that Tony doesn’t tolerate dairy too well, although for some reason, yogurt isn’t a problem for him.  I discovered flax...

UPDATE:  2/1/2021 – the recipe plug in for this Starbucks Copycat Muesli Bread was missing, so now I’ve updated the recipe card and updated the photos as well – enjoy!   Thanks for all your kind comments to Tony’s letter yesterday.  I know that it means a lot to him and rest assured, he read every single one! I’ve been so blessed to get so many...

As some of you are aware I recently I suffered yet another health scare. Unfortunately I went to our local hospital in January. I returned for similar problems a few months later. I became increasingly convinced that these Doctors had no idea what was happening. They were close to replacing my liver. I am of the opinion they didn’t have a clue what was wrong...

It was so nice to be home this weekend!  Tony is still catching up on his sleep – he sleeps really good during the day, so I tried to keep things quiet and ended up being quite bizzy in my kitchen this weekend.  The kitchen is in the back of the house – he looked so peaceful sleeping – we had the windows open and...

Growing up we would spend part of our summers in rural Virginia at my grandparents house.  I think the road leading up to their house was a dirt road and wasn’t paved until we were in high school.  It was such a small town that we would actually make the local paper that we were visiting from Chicago!  The neighborhood kids would ask us the...

We went to bed around 11:30 last night and guess what time I woke up this morning?  TEN O’CLOCK!  Ha, I love that I can still sleep like I am a teenager.  But I have to tell you I was tired.  After driving all day Thursday I actually thought Friday would be an easy day at work, but nope – super busy all day. I...
