At last I have had a perfect morning this week. By prepping everything the night before I was able to get ready for work with leisure, I even watered my plants before work (which gave me time to mow the lawn after work). It also gave me time to make a childhood favorite breakfast. Although […]
Yesterday I woke up late, but I had prepared my breakfast and lunch, laid out my clothes and accessories. I was prepped, so when I woke up late, I was able to get ready in 8 minutes and still make it to work on time. This morning was different. I woke up with an hour […]
4:10 am the alarm goes off. I hit snooze, 5 minutes later the alarm goes off again. I snooze, just 5 more minutes and I’ll be good. 5:10 am I wake up look at the clock. PANIC! I have to be to work by 5:30 am.
Today was a better day, the puppy got up and went straight out, and I started out with a great, although slightly less than perfect breakfast. Breakfast was a nostalgic trip back to when I lived in England and I was introduced to soft boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Toast soldiers are pieces of toast […]
My morning started off with puppy who decided to replace a teenager. Normally the Summer dog gets up and goes outside first thing in the morning. Not this morning, not at all. I went downstairs to let her out of her kennel and she didn’t budge. I let her be. I came back 30 minutes […]
And now for something completely different. I find myself alone for a week, once again the men have gone off on a Scout venture. This time to Glacier National Park. I find myself looking forward to some quiet time where I can putz around if I want to, be lazy, watch TV or chick flicks, […]
Pure simple unadulterated guacamole. I’ve read many guacamole recipes that call for a variety of ingredients such as garlic, tomato, onion and jalapenos. But the truth is, I love, love, love avocados. So much so that I don’t want to have my guacamole covered up by any flavors. Just salt to enhance the flavor and some […]
Bacon makes everything taste better. That’s a fact Jack! Can’t deny it, can you believe it also makes things healthier? Okay, maybe not bacon itself. But use bacon and grill instead of breading and deep frying, suddenly really unhealthy turns into not so unhealthy. Jalapeno peppers area vegetable and cream cheese is lower in fat then regular hard cheese. […]
Last Night was the Last Night. The last night I got to spend with whom we affectionately call Thing 1 and Thing 2. I wanted their last night meal to be special, I carefully planned a menu and spent hours prepping and cooking. Cause I love the guys and this is how I show my […]
Farmer’s Markets are brimming with fresh lettuce, herbs and vegetables. Although I make garden salads year round, nothing can match shopping for the freshest ingredients at your local market, taking it home and making a delicious fresh salad. I’m sucker for creamy dressings, I do love a vinaigrette, but a creamy dressing is my […]
