I am in love with Marie Kondo. If you may have seen her Netflix show, read her books, or even heard your friends talking about her on Facebook. I was aware of her about a year ago but really didn’t understand the concepts until I saw the Netflix series. Some people are saying she says…

Christmas Treats Week 4: Chocolate Chip Pie
You may have noticed I changed my weekly Christmas Cookie day to Christmas Treats. Since I really wasn’t making many cookies right now I decided Christmas Treats was a much better name. We are planning on doing lots of baking in the next week or so. As I watched the weather forecast tonight and the…
Middle Eastern Chicken Soup
We had a bit of an ice storm yesterday afternoon. I went to my car about 2 pm and it was enclosed in a nice coating of ice and the sidewalks and roads were smooth ice. So, I cancelled both of my meetings and we all had a nice night in. I’m so glad my…
Joy of Cooking Pancakes
Some nights dinner needs to be easy and be comforting. We are getting ready for some icy, rain, sleet combination tonight. Getting ready means that we pull everyone home and cancel all plans. We have a fire in the fireplace and finding all the candles in the house, just in case. We stopped at the…
Sloppy Joe Totchos
January is usually a tough month financially in our house as I am sure it is in houses across the country. I try to spend little to no money on groceries as we pay off December bills and do a bit of traveling for my daughter to dance. We had a great weekend in…
Christmas Cookies Week 3:Baked Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts
With the recent snow storms and cold temperatures we are spending quite a bit of time inside. That means lots of time for baking and cleaning! Anyone else obsessed with Marie Kondo? Yes, I binge watched the Netflix series and wasn’t even through the first episode before I was upstairs refolding all my clothes and…
Chocolate Waffles
I have decided chocolate waffles are a hard item to photograph. I tried to grab a picture while the girls were getting their waffles from the waffle bar but the light was off so they kind of look whole grain rather than chocolate. I decided to do Buttermilk Waffles (click for link to recipe) and…
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Some nights dinner just seems to work and other nights it seems a chore. This was one of those nights that it actually came together quite nicely! It all worked out that the chicken I had out for dinner was still slightly frozen so that we could cube it easily. I hate cutting raw chicken…
Buffalo Chicken Tacos with Blue Cheese
We have been having several “health” scares in my family lately. My mother’s eyes have suddenly swollen and dilated. She is having an MRI tomorrow to see what is going on. My partner is having some tests next week. We are keeping our fingers crossed and it will probably be fine but it makes it…
Holiday Breakfast Casserole
Just before Christmas a friend asked me, “What kind of bread do you use in your breakfast casserole?” When I told her croutons I thought she was going to cry. I use the big square ones, not the little bitty ones and I substitute about 1 bag for an 8×8 egg casserole. The trick is…
Buttermilk Waffles
My daughter’s friends are home from college for Christmas break. She is thrilled. One thing they have done every year since they were in 7th grade is get together for a “Christmas Party” sleepover. This year it was a bit after Christmas but they all were still here. We made a waffle bar for dinner….
Civil War Beef Stew
My son loves history. It is his thing. He will talk American history for hours. This year he is taking AP United States History. As part of his class they were required to make an authentic Civil War recipe. His teacher helped him find a recipe that did not involve hunting a rabbit or squirrel…
