Laundry is one of those household tasks that not only takes a lot of a homemaker’s time but can also have a big impact on the environment. Detergents, bleach, fabric softener, and dryer sheets all have potential issues. Not to mention water usage and energy consumption considerations. But we can take steps to lessen the…
Menu Monday ~ February 13, 2017
Valentine’s Day is Tuesday. Do you have special plans? In recent years we have generally opted to eat at home, saving a nice dinner out for a less busy night. Oftentimes I’ll cook filets but I found some adorable heart-shaped cheese ravioli so we’ll have that for our Valentine’s Day dinner. What about you? I’d…
The Wisdom of Grandma
If we are fortunate there will be someone in our life who provides an example of a life well-lived. For me, that person was Grandma. I grew up next door to my grandparents and spent much of my childhood in their home. I continued to spend a lot of time with Grandma until she died…

Cabbage Leek Diet Soup ~ An Instant Pot Recipe
Remember that old cabbage soup diet plan? Seven days of very specific food choices plus all the cabbage soup you want. Chances are if you are over 40 you gave it a try at some point. I’m not sure I ever made it past day three, though. And then there’s the Magical Leek Soup from…
Timely Tunes ~ February 2, 2017
