Thanksgiving is almost here. Turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce…PIE! I love the traditional Thanksgiving meal. I’m always surprised by the number of people who say they don’t like turkey because it is probably my favorite meat. Even during the year that we ate virtually 100% vegetarian, we made an exception for Thanksgiving turkey. Now, I…

I love turkey and the opportunity to enjoy time with my family so “Yay for Thanksgiving”! Here’s my menu for the week: Monday: chicken and dumplings salad Tuesday: Tacos (with lettuce, tomato, green onions, cheese, sour cream) refried beans chips and salsa Wednesday: broccoli cheese soup Thursday: We will be going to my cousin’s house…
Grocery Haul – November 2015
Do you enjoy grocery shopping? I do. But that’s probably because my method is a little unusual. Instead of shopping every few days or once a week, my daughter and I do a major grocery haul together once a month. We both prefer to buy organic as much as possible which is pretty difficult to…

Kitchen Decluttering ~ Part 2

I can’t even recall…
Kitchen Decluttering ~ Part 1
A couple of days ago I watched this video about kitchen decluttering: I already was aware of the fact that I have allowed clutter to overtake my kitchen but the video gave me the push I needed to set aside time to tackle it. This is what my kitchen should look like. That photo was…

Monday: spaghetti salad garlic cheese bread Tuesday: tacos Mexican rice chips and salsa Wednesday: whole roasted chicken mashed…
National Sandwich Day
I’ve always loved a good sandwich. I’ve never been much of a breakfast eater but Mom usually made me eat something before school. It was not unusual for me to make myself a tuna or bologna sandwich rather than the eggs or cereal my brothers ate. Today is National Sandwich Day (who decides these things,…
Menu Monday ~ 11/2/15
November already? How did that happen?? David will be out of town on business Tuesday through Thursday so that is why I don’t have much of a menu plan those nights. Monday: David has a firefighter meeting at 6 which makes it a real pain to work around for dinner since we prefer to…
