It’s was unusually cool for most of August, no real ‘Hot August Nights’. I think it was mostly because of the fires in California. It’s been pretty awful. They’ve affected the […]
I love pancakes and I generally eat them about once a week. I switched to sugar-free syrup some time ago, but I always found that “healthier” pancakes normally meant I […]
It’s hard to believe this little guy is already 5-years-old! He’s turned out to be a wonderful companion. Very sweet, gentle, intelligent, and he rarely does anything naughty. Although, he […]
If you like vegetables, this is a wonderful light but satisfying meal. It tastes nothing like spaghetti pasta, but it does have a nice flavor. Especially if you roast it until […]
Someone invented a left-handed hammer but it didn’t sell, because there were no left-handed nails to use it with.
This homemade frozen yogurt fits well with our “healthy but still having some desserts” lifestyle. It doesn’t actually have any cheese in it at all, it gets its cheesecake flavor […]
After my huge hiatus, I finally got back on the blog horse. Why was I gone so long? My health, loved one’s health, work, family, having other priorities. You know what […]
I generally just refer to this as Turkey Stroganoff, because I haven’t hosted a Thanksgiving in years and I haven’t cooked a turkey for Christmas since I left the UK. […]
These pretty breakfast parfaits are layered with Greek yogurt and granola so they make a substantial and filling morning meal. You can serve them in dessert glasses, or a mason […]
This is a very simple but delicious chili without a long cooking time. I just want something different sometimes, instead of the same old chili(s) I’ve been making for years. […]
I’m so happy to see October! It’s definitely one of my favorite months. I mean, autumn is the best time of year, but October is the best month of autumn […]
Pronounced “foe-wix”, you know, like fake twix? These are so easy to make. Really, the hardest part about this recipe is unwrapping all those caramels. Yes, I use store-bought caramels. […]
I shopped for a lamp like this and was shocked to see how expensive they were. The one in the picture and the one in my review (same lamp) is […]
I am happy to tell you that I have not bought a single can of cream of mushroom soup this year. I did, however, purchase a few dozen wide mouth […]
This is (another) sandwich fillings that you just don’t see in the US, but is very common in the UK. I happened to try it because the sandwich cart in […]
Two months until Halloween, three months until American Thanksgiving, and 4 months until Christmas. Or in other words, Happy September! Last month was a bit of a rough month, I’m […]
This lovely deep red dessert is beautiful to look at and smells amazing. With a dollop of whipped cream, it’s everything a summer dessert should be without all the junk […]
I got some really beautiful blooms this year and loads of bees, hummingbirds, June bugs, and butterflies came to visit. As well as a lot of little birds enjoying the […]
I don’t normally like prepackaged stuff, but I like being able to throw together a nice dressing and toss in store-bought broccoli slaw or broccoli salad mix. It saves a […]
The new school year is looming and all the stores have started displaying their back to school supplies. Even though it’s been a long time since I was in school […]
Yes, those are quotations around BBQ in the title. No, this recipe doesn’t actually call for cooking anything outside over a fire. Yes, I understand that is what barbecue is. […]
This month my granddaughter turns 10, it’s crazy how fast the time has gone by! This year, the last 10 years… just flying by! It’s crazy, isn’t it? It seems […]
These cookies are not too sweet and not too terribly unhealthy either. With no cooking necessary (melting doesn’t count as cooking!). They are a really great recipe for kids to […]
I have been guilty in the past of using pancake mix. It’s cheap, it often only needs water added, and it’s quick to make. Plus, maybe (MAYBE!) to feed a […]
So, I had this patch of bare soil directly behind some paving stones I put in my patio garden to extend the patio a little. I didn’t have enough rocks […]
No, you don’t roast your blender and make salsa out of it. That would be silly. You do roast up some veggies and toss them into a blender. Which may […]
