Change is good and is possibly on the horizon – no time for cooking tonight! Remember that Spring Creek BBQ? Me, too! BBQ Chicken, meet Chicken Salad – that’s what’s for dinner! I took the chicken off the bone, mixed Hellman’s mayonnaise, Private Selection Dijon mustard, Spring Creek BBQ Sauce, chopped pecans and diced Fuji… Continue reading 4.26.2021

Yesterday, I fueled us up with the Eggs in a Hole so we could work on getting the yard ready for the new playscape that will arrive in a few weeks. So this morning, I decided to leave Todd alone and let him sleep until he was ready to get up (didn’t realize that would… Continue reading 4.25.2021

Happy Saturday! Last night I was not much for cooking, I was pooped! Spring Creek BBQ to the rescue! We ordered enough to keep us going for a few meals – I was hungry for BBQ and I really needed some fried okra! On to today – I felt like me again, and Eggs in… Continue reading 4.24.2021

Happy Earth Day and I got my first Covid vaccination – go me! Choosing a CVS location in a Target = #winning!! I thought I’d try something a little different for dinner. I thawed some thick-cut pork loin chops, cut them in half, pounded them to amount a ¾ inch thickness, smeared some Member’s Mark… Continue reading 4.22.2021

Large pepperoni pizza and a Greek salad –… Continue reading 4.20.2021

We need something “healthy” for dinner. Todd has been travelling and eating out a lot, so home-cookin’ is a must! Tonight was Salmon with Far India Pine Nut Couscous, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Tzatziki Sauce.

It’s Saturday and I must bake! My mom loves to read cookbooks as much as I do. I’m not sure where she picked this one up, but after she was done reading it from cover to cover, she decided it wasn’t for her. So, I got a new cookbook – yay!!! There are so many… Continue reading 4.17.2021

In September/October 2019 Todd, my husband, decided to try the Keto diet. New recipes, and new dishes to try?? Why, challenge accepted! Note that while I say he decided to try the Keto diet, I attempted and didn’t make it past the first month. I like the recipes, there are some really tasty creations out… Continue reading 4.15.2021

Todd’s home!! Longest three days ever! Tonight, I wanted Chinese food and didn’t want to cook. We’ve lived in our house for 14 years and have driven past an Asian restaurant – Pan Acean, for at least the 15 years that we’ve lived in the area. I ordered us some steamed dumplings and eggrolls, Todd… Continue reading 4.14.2021
