It’s been a while since my last roundup! Yikes! A lot has happened since my last posting: A couple of long vacation trip weekends with friends, a lot of work changes, some medical appointments, and most recently and annoyingly – a flooded downstairs. Now I’m waiting on insurance to approve quotes so I can get…
I’m so ready for spring to get here that I almost can’t stand it! I have started more seeds than my garden can hold and I’m ready to get outside and play in the dirt. In the meanwhile, here’s my weekly offering of random things. It’s the little things sometimes. I ordered this packet of…
It’s been a long, busy, stressful week. Hope y’all are doing ok. Here’s this weeks offering. Enjoy This is the week that 2 of my 4 kitchen appliances decided to give me the middle finger. The fridge is not cooling properly and I’m going to try to diagnose and fix it myself before calling out…
Once again the week got away from me and I haven’t had time for a garden post or a recipe. I’m going to remedy that this weekend and will have a couple of posts lined up for next week. I documented my seed starting process for the vegetable garden and I have a mushroom lasagna…
This past week I had 2 recipes lined up ready to cook and photograph and then in the middle of the night Tuesday, I woke up with that feeling that says “here comes a migraine”. Meds didn’t help this one and I’ve spent the last 2 days recovering from a migraine triggered by a deep…
The Friday Roundup is my weekly list of things that don’t rate a standalone post but that I found interesting. It’s been cold at night and so we’ve been keeping a fire going in the fireplace which may be my favorite part of winter. Work has picked up significantly this week so that’s been keeping…
I’m reconsidering the “Friday Five” theme since it seems limiting to me. Some weeks I might have more than 5 things to share, and some weeks fewer, so I’m inclined to change it to some kind of Friday week in review going forward. In the meanwhile, here’s this weeks offering: Aldi has fiddle leaf figs…
. I’m late with the post today: My excuse is that today is my birthday and it felt like a weekend day, but also, I just plain forgot. So here we go. ONE In a little blog cleanup: I’ve moved the Monday Meal Plan posts off of the main blog feed page. I felt like…
. ONE If you haven’t heard by now, you can go online and order free Covid tests to be delivered to your home. Right now every household is eligible for a 4-pack of tests. You can order them here: https://special.usps.com/testkits . TWO Zach and I are trying to incorporate more vegetarian eating into our planning…
We’ve made it through two full weeks of 2022 and so far, so good! Here are my five things for this week. ONE I bought a juicer! I realized after finishing my week of juicing last Friday that I do feel much better if I make veggie juices part of my routine. After doing some…
Let’s just jump right into the first Friday Five of 2022. These are the things that have been on my mind this week. ONE Today is the last day of my 3rd annual post-holiday juice fast. This year I did the “expert” level program – the one with more green juices and fewer protein or…
It’s been a whole lot of Fridays since the last Friday Five and I’m sorry for that. I’m just going to cut right to the chase: On July 4th weekend, while we were painting the garden shed, Zach had a heart attack; a STEMI – the one the doctors call “the widowmaker”. We were incredibly…
