Search for Inspiration

It started with my husband getting the news that he’s ever so slightly pre-diabetic amongst a few other health concerns. (This was when he was in the hospital for two TIA strokes a month or so ago). Things that could be eased or managed with a better diet. I’m the main cook in the house,Continue reading “Search for Inspiration”

Trying to do Some Fall Cooking

Now that the weather is turning cooler, my cooking mojo is beginning to return. We had BBQ pulled pork with steamed asparagus the other night. I neglected to take pictures. It was quite delicious though. Then, grilled cheese with bacon and tomato bisque. I bake bacon in the oven to avoid a lot of messContinue reading “Trying to do Some Fall Cooking”

Back to Cooking

It’s been nice feeling inspired to cook again and get creative with our food. I’ve even started doing a little bit of yoga again. Food and fitness go hand in hand for me. If my food is not on track, I can’t get my exercise done. It helps when I find produce that inspires me.Continue reading “Back to Cooking”

Just a Few Dishes

One of my favorite breakfasts! I have to admit though, I don’t usually eat until brunch-time. It takes a few cups of coffee for me to be awake enough. And then I make myself something like this! It’s left-over sweet potato hash with peppers and an egg scrambled in. Super easy! It keeps me goingContinue reading “Just a Few Dishes”

Kitchen Magic

Chinese style stir-fry is always a favorite in this house. I’ve started stocking up on dry lo mein and rice noodles for those nights when I need to whip up something quickly with as little effort as possible. I keep chicken nuggets or tenders and frozen vegetables stocked up in the fridge too. I threwContinue reading “Kitchen Magic”

Breakfast and lunch. It has been such a big help in the obvious way of helpingContinue reading “Comfort Food”

A Post Short

I’m having a tough time trying to find something to write about today. I’ve got a ton of ideas, but nothing is coming out right. I get going with something and delete it all. I’ve been listing again. It started with the grocery list. I have a system that I have been perfecting since theContinue reading “A Post Short”

What’s Left in the Pantry?

There is a stack of tires stinking up my kitchen. Our recycling is overtaking a whole corner of the house. The sink is full of dishes. The girls refuse to sleep. The laundry is backing up. And I think my kids are starting a water cup collection in their bedroom. But at least I canContinue reading “What’s Left in the Pantry?”

Chocolate and Coffee

A few years ago I was perusing the display books at my neighborhood library when I found a book called ”Murder Most Frothy” by Cleo Coyle. I am a coffee lover and thought it might be fun. Of course, it was the 4th book in the series and so I requested the first one (“OnContinue reading “Chocolate and Coffee”
