As you may know, Earth Day is coming up on Monday, April 22nd. But did you know that your cooking and eating habits can also contribute to preserving the Earth too? It’s true! I mean, think about it. How much food (uncooked, spoiled and leftovers that go uneaten) does your family toss out on trash [...]
Several years ago when I set out on my new cooking journey, I discovered the greatness of Slow Cookers!!! I know, I know…they’ve been around for years, but I never really used them. At least not for everyday cooking and meals. I couldn’t believe it took me so long to find such a treasure. I [...]
When our first oven went out (the one that came with our house), I was L-O-S-T…lost. I had just begun to really start cooking and I was actually enjoying it, and *poof* out it went. The oven would not light. Thankfully, I could still use the stove. But, that really put me in a bind. [...]
With November in full swing, colder weather is on its way (if it’s not already arrived in your area). And while, the slow cooker is one of my favorite summer-time appliances, I love to use it in the winter too! It’s such a handy little thing, especially on those busy days with schooling, errands, doctor’s appointments, field [...]
How many times have you been hard at work all day, busy with the kids and housework, only to look down and see the clock roll over to 5:00pm? It used to happen to me all the time before I began doing a Weekly Meal Plan. But what do you put on that Meal Plan?? [...]
This new journey of Gluten-Free cooking was so scary at first. But to be quite honest, now I’m having so much fun!!! I’m learning how to adjust old recipes (more of those coming in November!!!) and finding new favorites! If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you have probably figured out that [...]
I love my slow cooker!! I know that’s probably not a shock to you Mom’s out there. The slow cooker is probably my absolute favorite kitchen appliance. Yeah, I like to bake and cook on the stove top – okay, I like to cook. But I just love the convenience of the slow cooker, especially [...]
In April I began a downward health spiral that has lasted for months. Two months ago we finally got some answers with a simple, albeit expensive, blood test. It showed that I do NOT in fact have Crohn’s disease, which they have treated me with for 13 years, but I have Ulcerative Colitis. It is [...]
If you’re just joining us for the first time, catch up easily here. Oh my goodness…it’s been so long since I posted week 3 of this Large Family Living series. And I’ve been so sick the past two months that I totally forgot about week 4. That is until a reader commented on week 3 [...]
Okay, so yesterday (Sunday), we fully intended to have Bacon-Tuna Casserole (a concoction I put together combining two recipes). We had it ready to go in the slow cooker and everything! The Hubster got nervous that the noodles were going to burn (he’d left it on high), so he came home real quick to check [...]
