Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Greetings everyone! I’m so happy we have some new readers from Money Saving Mom and from Blogelina with us. Today I would like to share with you the new friends we have in our backyard. They like our bird feeder quite a lot! There are normally about 8 of them together, but here is a …
Book: I got the new Jodi Picoult book, “Leaving Time,” and of course it is GREAT. Because everything she writes is awesome. Swoon. I’m so glad she quit using her courtroom formula! So, if you were tired of that – read this book and her last one, The Storyteller. These are mysteries you won’t …
Book Update: Still taking my vacation time to watch “The Good Wife”! Recipe: This recipe gets to the heart about why I can’t stand most slow cooker recipes – they turn the food to mush. Leaving most of our food to cook for 8 hours a day is really, really gross. But, I’ve learned that …
Book Update: Okay, I take everything back I said against “The Runaway Jury.” I got sucked in and the ending was totally worth the suspension of belief! Now to go find more Grisham books where I haven’t seen the movie…. 🙂 Recipe: This recipe was soooo comforting and tasty. It is FAST and EASY. …

The snow and football mean chili season. We often used deer meat and/or ground beef in our chili. I am including this with a picture of my dad. He died from a heart attack last Saturday after getting his deer. Daddy raised five girls (yes, five), worked for Schnucks Supermarkets for over 43 years and …
These bowls are just too fun and cute! I love being able to eat my bowl and soup at the same time. Squash is everywhere this time of year and makes a great soup. Need a shortcut? Trader Joe’s and most other grocery stores sell butternut squash soup in those cardboard containers. That way you …
Howdy! We’ve been cleaning up the pantry and trying to eat as much as we can from it. Since we’re moving this week, I didn’t want to have to lug extra groceries to and from the apartment to the house. Here is a recipe I came up with that uses all the canned black …
I have made low and slow black bean soups in the past. The ham hock, the soaking the beans, etc. tastes all well and good. But, this is super simple and flavorful. Doubling the recipe for a large group would be quite easy as well. These winter months, as I noted in the meatball tortellini …
