I’m finally finishing this up late Sunday night. We’ve had a bit of excitement around here. A severe thunderstorm made its way through our area and brought baseball size hail and a tornado or two with it. We spent some time under our stairs with poor Shiloh who was terrified. Our roofs took quite a…
Busy Day Swiss Steak – A Vintage Recipe
Sometimes it’s fun to spend time in the kitchen concocting a special recipe. Put on some music, pour a small glass of wine and really get into the whole, creative experience. But some days you just need something you can stick in the oven without a lot of fuss. Busy Day Swiss Steak to the…

Menu Monday ~ Slow Cooker Recipe Week
Last week we did a 1950s style menu. It was delicious and there was a lot of cooking involved. I actually enjoyed it and the guys LOVED the food.

How To Practice Mindfulness While Cleaning House

Menu Monday ~ 1950s Style
