    “… Upholding the Traditions We Have in America”

    May 27, 2014 /

    “The appreciation and kind thoughts will last much longer than the vegetables and my health will continue to be refreshed by all three!”   Row Markers Americans are famous worldwide for helping our neighbors out.  Find a tsunami, earthquake or a camp for the victims of war and you will usually find American personnel, supplies or donated equipment; sometimes all three.  We give through our churches, the Red Cross and many other non profits and our military forces are usually at the forefront of overseas efforts.  At home, neighbors and families can be seen doing the weekend projects that often end in refreshments or even a barbecue at this time of…

    “Mondays in My Garden”: Four Easy Ways to Save Money when starting your Garden

    March 11, 2013 /

    There are a few blogs that I just love. Household 6 Diva is one of them.  Ann Marie is a down to earth Army spouse recently relocated from Germany to Texas and there are so many times that I think, “Wow, would we be good friends if our lives had ever crossed.” She started a series called “Mondays in My Garden”.  Be sure to read her inaugural post here: Welcome to “Mondays in My Garden” Ah… my garden.  Just the thought of it has my heart smiling. Yesterday it was 72 degrees out in NE Ohio.  The back door was open all day.  The front door was filled with sunshine.  Smiles, laughs, giggles…

    Layered Broccoli Salad

    July 3, 2012 /

    There is something so refreshing and delicious about food that is in season.  My peas are bursting off the vines, there is proliferent amounts of broccoli in gardens around the midwest and isn’t bacon always in season?  I’m thinking, “Yes!”  Broccoli Salad is a must have this time of year. Before we get started I have to share my new favorite thing to wear … skirts!  I had /no idea/ they could be so comfortable and cool (literally) until recently.  Admitedly I can’t just dive into garden work when I’ve donned my favorite comfortable knit skirt but I sure can enjoy a bottle glass of wine (or my favorite broccoli salad!) with…

    Summer Meals and Menu for Children of All Ages!

    July 3, 2012 /

    Camp Grandpa! It is July on our calendar and fireworks are getting to explode in my heart as the grands are getting ready to arrive. Activities are on Grandpa’s plate. Their hunger for adventure, outdoors, hammering, mud and total movement are insatiable. Therefore, Grandma is getting ready to find some ‘fuels’ that are kid appropriate: lunches and dinners. We have a bread lover, a meat on bone lover, a thick steak fan, and one who isn’t too certain what is the best… well ice cream is there, but not on my meal plan! The secret plan that Grandpa and I have is to keep them so active and involved that…

    Talking Turkey (leftovers) Tasty Tuesday

    November 21, 2011 /

    A crowd fills the house at Thanksgiving each year.  Chairs are mixed and matched to heights of a child’s lap.  Tables are added domino style… fitting this end, turning a corner with several tablecloths draped over them.  My table is a center point of the Thanksgiving action for me.  For me.  Now, for more than half of us it is the Macy’s Day parade which spills into football.   Hors d’oeuvres  fill the gap from the yeasty breakfast rolls or bowls holding fruited steamy oatmeal to dinner.  A steady aroma of turkey feeds an appetite that nothing else can satisfy.  Our menu has turkey highlighting the table at 2 P.M. and…

    A Slice of Summer

    Ahhhh Summer Fare.  There are so many good, fresh, healthy foods out there this time of year.  It is my favorite time for munching and crunching! Fresh, healthy foods are an investment in your health as well as your wallet.  Before we dive into some of my favorite recipes I want to share just a couple of money saving tips for your eating pleasure: The Garden, my passion, on so many fronts.

    August First

    August 1, 2010 /

    It is August today. The first of the month!We are smack dab in the middle of summer. The heat attests to this, the air conditioner’s hum certainly reminds us of this fact. I am still harvesting lettuce, fragile herbs and broccoli. Plants that popped up early in spring. Can someone explain how this wafted down in front of me as I walked to the garden this morning?Beautiful shades… but I am not ready for this season! I think my favorite season is the one in which I am thoroughly immersed. I’m going for another swim. Leaves… cool it! Your colorful time will be here soon enough!byDeborahonSunday, August 01, 2010Email ThisBlogThis!Share…

    Quick and Easy Low Carb Lunch

    February 22, 2010 /

    Fresh from the oven, a dish of broccoli, carrots and Angle Hair Pasta… Nice! There are times when pasta just sounds right. My mind really likes the idea of that comfort food… and when it comes, presented in the form of Angel Hair pasta… oh my! I like this! This summer we canned carrots like nobody’s business. We love them. Some I put in quart jars… a bit too big for us to use in one meal. I also froze broccoli. We had the best plants ever. So there are freezer bags and bags of them yet in produce freezer downstairs. Life is so good!We zoomed in late for lunch…
