Unfortunately, there are bad people out there. I met a couple today when “Amazon” called me. I’ll admit to being naive. I am, by nature, very trusting. In our current world, that can definitely be detrimental. I stupidly gave out too much information and luckily did not have enough money on either of my cardsContinue reading “Be Ever Vigilant”

Happy Halloween 2020 Style!
I hope you all had a Happy Halloween! We certainly did here! We have a tradition in our house of making a special “spooky” dinner. We’ve had “gremlin” stew (made with real gremlins – ha! Ha! Just kidding!!!) This year we made “monster” burgers and warty witch fingers! They were so much fun. The dinnerContinue reading “Happy Halloween 2020 Style!”
Tasty Tuna Burgers
I have long loved tuna burgers, but have struggled with a recipe. I wanted it to be simple, with only a few, non-specialty, ingredients, but also something so very tasty that my family would love it and want seconds. Tuesday is one of my cooking nights and I decided to take on the challenge. InContinue reading “Tasty Tuna Burgers”
Kindness is Never a Mistake
How many times per day, in our changing world, is someone kind? Not very often, in my experience. There have been a few notable instances where someone has been kind. There was a man in a store that overheard me talking to child #2 about where the tire air caps were kept. We eventually foundContinue reading “Kindness is Never a Mistake”

Ah, Autumn! The leaves are turning and the air has a crisp bite to it. It’s the perfect time to be turning on the oven to take the chill out of the air with something to eat.

An Easy Treat
A few months back I bought some gluten-free pastry dough. I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with it, but it sounded good. Yesterday, I decided was the day. I had a few “older” apples as well as a few new apples. So, I set out to make some apple pieContinue reading “An Easy Treat”
Money Saver – Sewing
Whatever your situation in life, people like to save money. I grew up without a lot of extras. We did not have much, but my mom sewed most of our clothes, and that helped a lot in the money department. I’m always surprised when someone doesn’t know how to sew. What? How is that possible?Continue reading “Money Saver – Sewing”
The Warrior
Look at me. I mean really look at me. Do I look like a warrior to you? I didn’t think so. However, I learned this evening, that I do to child #3. What? Yup. She sees me as a warrior. What makes me a warrior? Well, I do kill all the spiders in my house.Continue reading “The Warrior”
Pumpkin Spice Cake
What is better in the Fall than a piece of spice cake? I have been making this pumpkin spice cake for years. I have made it gluten-free and it is wonderful. There is also a vegan option that I used to use, but unfortunately, my oldest became allergic to flax seeds, so I don’t useContinue reading “Pumpkin Spice Cake”
