    “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…

    Tasty Tuesday: Smells, Sights and Tastes of Summer Potato Salad

    May 24, 2011 /

    I am a sucker for Heinen’s Potato Salad!  But purchasing it from the deli can be quite a strain on the family grocery-budget. So I had a mission… make it myself. And I think I did it. It may not be  “Heinen’s Signature Recipe” but it is mine now and I love it.

    Child’s Play! Sprinkle Muffins

    February 17, 2011 /

    Tuesdays are one of my very favorite days. Esther and Jacob come to play with me. Drawers are opened, cabinets cleaned out, car ‘noise’ buzzes down the halls, Sesame Street is back on the TV after a 20+ year absence. All of those activities are out of my realm of influence. But let’s get to the kitchen! Let’s see what is cooking today!I asked Jacob… last week for Valentines’ Day we made a Rice Krispie heart. It was amazing. Almost as many sprinkles as marshmallows. But that was the beauty! It was a total Jacob creation.Today it will be muffins. I was thinking, apple or peach, or berry. NO… Sprinkle…

    A Warm Kiss of Sweetness: Muffins

    September 30, 2009 /

    Summer is really getting to be a memory. Our leaves are still green, however yellows and reds are tipping some of the oaks and maples. I love this time of year, as the mosquitoes are just about gone. YEAH! AMEN and Hallelujah! Dale has picked the blackberry patch clean. He committed himself not to leave any there for the deer, raccoons or any other marauder. Our freezer is full and our oven is popping out warm kisses of sweetness. This muffin recipe can be revised to use any fruit. The trick, I think, is not to over mix the batter. Be ready to put UNSMOOTH (Is that a word?… Spell…

    Mid Morning Healthy Fruit Snack

    July 7, 2009 /

    It is funny how I regard time. It is in sections. Sections of a lifetime: childhood, teenager, college student, newly wed, etc. Then there is the where we lived time: first year of marriage (3 installations), then Nevada (ISAFAF), Panama (Howard AFB) and so on. Smaller segments and daily time measurements can revolve around something good to eat! I do love a good snack. And since loosing a lot of weight, I recognize the importance of eating less… but more often. So, for Dale and I, the 10:00 snack and the 2:00 snack are gems of the day! We love fruit! It is the season for fresh items. Today we…

    Oh the trauma…

    March 29, 2009 /

    Warning: for the squeemish I do have a pretty graphic picture below, involving a bit of blood. All in the ‘day in the life’ of a boy… but not exactly a pretty picture. Hubby can not get home a day too soon! My six year-old missed school on Thursday and Friday due to a pretty rotten cold and temperature ranging from 99 to 103 throughout the day & night. So our days have just been messed up. Unfortunately, on Friday night I started to feel the same way; achy, hot yet shivering, with a major headache. I love it when the kids share, but they don’t need to share their…

    School Lunch

    August 29, 2008 /

    Can I tell you how much I enjoy making school-lunch for my kindergartner? This is a phenomena to me! I hate cooking. I abhor baking. Lunch around here is usually pretty simple; chicken nuggets & fish sticks, cheese-sandwiches or quesodillas. We don’t deviate very much. So I am just amazed at how much I enjoy pulling out *E*’s lunch-box every night and finding good food to put in it for the next day. So here has been our lunch menu so far:Tuesday: Roast Beef Sandwich (cheese, tomato and onion too), Fruit Snacks, Go-gurt, and iced-tea;Wednesday: Left-over Chicken Fingers from Olive Garden, a packet of ketchup, a couple slices of watermelon,…
