Day 12 of semi-isolation. We are trying very hard to not go out now. Our pantry and freezer are fairly well stocked. We made a last minute run late last night and found the coveted item – toilet tissue! We had 6 rolls at home but with three women in the house well, that is…

Skillet Sausage and Sauerkraut
Weather has been up and down the last week or so. Much of Lake Michigan has been losing shoreline as the waves have been brutal. The high water combined with the pounding waves have done tons of damage up and down the coast. You can see quite a bit of debris that has been thrown…
Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apple

Kielbasa with Sauerkraut
This was another emergency meal for me. I needed something quick at 8:00 pm at night to throw together for dinner for my family and this is what I came up with. I added cut up veggies on the side and dinner was served in 15 minutes.
