The deep, deep cold is persisting here in Illinois, though my heart is really going out to all my friends and acquaintances in Texas and the other southern states that are dealing with winter storms – without the same resources that we have here! These cold days have us craving straightforward, comforting, warm meals, things…

Weekly Meal Plan – February 8, 2021
Better is late than never, right? Wait…late is better than never right? There. Got it the second time. Between not going almost anywhere due to covid-19 and now the extremely cold temperatures deterring me even from going for my usual daily walks I’m really starting to get a little stir-crazy, which often leads to some…
Weekly Meal Plan – February 1, 2021
Yesterday I took a snow day. No, I didn’t have to shovel (my wonderful husband did that). But I felt lazy and just gave into it and basically did nothing after throwing a roast in the crock pot in the morning. Would it have been that hard to write up a meal plan while binge-watching…

Wow, what a week! It started off with Martin Luther King Jr. Day off work. I wandered around a town about 30 minutes from ours, just to be somewhere different. Most places were closed, but a coffee shop provided something warm to sip on and a few small shops were available to browse. Midweek my…

Weekly Menu – 7/12/2020
This coming week will be a rough one, with some intense (virtual) meetings scheduled at work. I also managed to make it through the weekend accomplishing the following: painted a living room, went to church, bought a couch for my basement, weeded my very weedy yard, gave the pup a bath, went for a long…
Weekly Menu – 7/5/2020
I’m trying to lean towards an anti-inflammatory diet these days, which means very little grain and dairy products. I know, the very joys of life itself. I’m not yet diligent enough to do a total elimination, but I’m trying to focus on other flavors and ingredients. With that in mind, here’s what I’m making for…
