Good friends are one of life’s true blessings. After church we went to lunch with a couple we’ve been friends with since our children were little. Even after our meal was over we sat and talked another couple of hours. We talked of our children, our church, funny things and serious stuff. We are fortunate…
Tea and Earthquakes
I know this will come as a shock but I’m pretty darn fond of tea. Okay, so I’m obsessed with it. I begin every day with it. I’ve got a cup in front of me right now. I’ve been drinking it since I was a toddler and I’m sure I’ll continue until the day I…
Friday gratitude…
It was COLD in the house when we woke up this morning. Someone, who shall remain nameless (okay, it was me), forgot to turn the heater back on last night. It was 62 degrees in the house. David was up first and turned it back on while I continued to snuggle under the covers, savoring…
Sweet and Sour Meatballs
I didn’t think to get a picture last night. It was pretty late and David was starving. Since this is one of my own recipes, the quantities will be vague but I’ll give it my best shot. It’s a rather forgiving recipe. Dee’s Sweet and Sour Meatballs Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef crushed crackers or…
I’m thankful for…
Today I’m thankful for the opportunity to see wildlife in my own backyard. Chris and I watched these three deer for at least 10 minutes this afternoon. I just wish I’d had a video camera with telephoto lens so I could have captured the little drama that took place. A couple of our cats seem…
Homemaking is back in style
The other day I read this post by Jamie Lee Curtis in which she muses about how she became a woman who is “obsessed with making gourmet food, organically grown, artisanally produced as (she) plays Words With Friends…this generation’s Coffee Klatch…”. She’s certainly not the first to make the observation that there seems to be…
Thankful November
I noticed that a number of my Facebook friends are posting something they are thankful for each day of November. What a nice idea. Instead of posting on Facebook, however, I’m going to post here. If I have another post for the day, I’ll include my thankfulness at the bottom of it. If not, it…
Black Bean Enchiladas
Black Bean Enchiladas Ingredients: one small onion, chopped one bell pepper, diced 1 tablespoon butter or oil 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 can red enchilada sauce 1 jar salsa 1 package flour tortillas (or corn, if you prefer) 8 to 12 oz. cheese, grated (I used sharp cheddar) 2 teaspoons chili powder…
Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies
A Facebook friend mentioned that she really likes the recipes on skinnytaste.com so I took a peek. The recipes are relatively low-fat and include nutrition information, including Weight Watchers points. Unlike many supposedly “healthy” recipes, most of these actually do contain real food ingredients. I’d rather use less of something real, like butter, than to…
