Happy Winter! It was a high of 0 degrees at the house yesterday. Today is a heat wave up to 8 degrees! We are hitting records in Missouri, so I hope everyone is safe and warm. One of our repeat family dinners is Taco Pasta! It is so easy to make and leaves everyone wanting …
Good morning!!!! I am 170 days away from graduation with my Masters in School Counseling with Licensure. Hopefully, we will have more recipes after that! This one was so good that I am making sure to add it to the blog. This soup is a staple during the winter months. We went from 82 degrees …
Good morning everyone! Happy Ice Storm Day from here in the Midwest! We need a little hint of summer and this is the perfect! You can make this SUPER easy salad in winter with canned black beans and frozen mango. You can find frozen mango in the frozen fruit section of the grocery store – …
Good morning! This weekend we attended the 2016 St. Louis Air Show. It was quite a show!!! Wow! All the planes, helicopters and jets you could want. Here are some of my favorite photographs I took at the show. I shot these with a Nikon D7100 55-200mm lens. Why use that camera? It isn’t …
My friend and old neighbor Hilary posted on her Facebook page about a new Instant Pot appliance. It could cook beans in 12 minutes! Chicken soup – from frozen chicken – in 30 minutes! So, yes I had to buy one. The slow cooker is great and all. But you know. It’s slow. We like fast …
Good Morning! It is our First Day of School here! Book: I finished “Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarty. I think her last name rocks! What a fun last name, don’t you think? But anyway, the book is hilarious, the ending is jaw dropping and the conclusion perfect. Great beach read and fun fiction. …
Book Update: “I hate affected, niminy-piminy chits!” Louisa May Alcott said it. Not me! Ahhh, you gotta love those non-conforming transcendentalists. Oh wait. Everyone conformed before the 1960’s. Right? 😉 This is a new favorite find at Trader Joe’s. Organic Brown Rice and Quinoa Spaghetti Pasta. My kids would never eat the whole wheat …
Book: We all decided that “Where’d Ya Go Bernadette?” by Maria Semple was funny…. but wouldn’t recommend. It’s funny and weird and if you want that – go read it. If you want an ending that makes sense, don’t. I am working on another “Our Favorite Things at Trader Joe’s” post. It should almost …
Book Update: I’m still working on my Freezer Meal presentation and my post for the Heirloom Cookie Sheet company! Plus readers will get a coupon code to use exclusively on here, so stay tuned! Recipe Update: We have been eating home more… though I guess we always have. My husband’s back is out and the …
Book Update: Well, Downton Abbey has been keeping me from reading as much as I usually do. Of course, I did do my homework for Positive Psych and we are discussing resilience in children, well-being through the lifespan and post-traumatic growth. Recipe Update: This recipe is a twist on my old beef tacos staple. We …
