I really wish I could have met Fuerig in person. With his glossy black locks and cool demeanor, I could envision him strutting around the paddock like a camelid version of Fabio, beckoning to the ladies housed in the next pasture over with a “hello gorgeous, come here often?” line.
Since the owner sold him for breeding stock before I arrived at the ranch, the next best thing was to acquire 2 of his...
Tonight’s dinner was a snap, especially when you already have 2 of the star ingredients cooked and on hand. In this case, it was the squash and beans. I am a bean snob, I prefer to rehydrate and cook my own vs canned beans, something about starting out from scratch that has always appealed to me, in whatever I do.
Anyway, back to quesadillas! and yes, another (say it with emphasis now)…...
I am sure I am not the only one that hates wrestling a duvet into its over-sized pillow case periodically. Been doing it for years and always procrastinate about washing the cover just to avoid the impending wrestling match.
As I was mentally getting psyched up for the task I had a brain wave, a storm surge, an epiphany….whatever you call it, this GREAT idea popped into my head.
CLOTHESPINS!

I think last night was one of the best creative nights in the kitchen that I have had in a very long while. I turned out a fabulous vegetarian dish packed full of vitamins and protein that can be used as a stand alone meal or be a great accompaniment to grilled chicken or salmon. Sometimes I amaze myself with my ingenuity. Believe me though, I have...
Today I was waffling. Waffling about whether to make cheddar chive biscuits, or cheddar chive muffins.
So I made cheddar chive cornbread instead. I know, sometimes what I think I want, I don’t want at all. The mind of a woman was clearly at work here.
Since I had just given my rapidly sprouting chive plant a trim last weekend, it was a good time to rummage through my recipe files...
Thank goodness the cold and snow is now behind us and we can look forward to (in my opinion) the shortest and BEST season we have ~ SUMMER!
I have been so busy this past 6-8 weeks, not just with work (my busiest time of year) but also ramping up my gardening chores. The raised beds have had their plastic rolled down to thaw the frozen earth and 2 weeks ago I...
Yay! I am finally getting my world-famous Fish Taco recipe on the interweb-thingie! You know, that thing that a certain Billionaire said wouldn’t catch on? I wonder what he thinks about that statement now?
Anyway, back to fish tacos….yum..yum..yum! Ramona ~ This is for you, so go ahead and share away!
This recipe is great when you need to whip up a dinner fairly fast, the only part that needs time...
I know, I know, I have been remiss of late, life gets in the way you know? I have many ideas and unfortunately not enough hours in the day. BUT, today I managed to pull this together in less than 15 minutes, combined with the time it took to make lunch AND type this out, it gives me hope I can throw together some more gems to this blog in the future.
... I am taking the time to update my Banana Bread recipe from its current form to a low-sugar form. Hubby and I have embarked on our get healthy, get fit movement for a year now and collectively, we have lost about 65lbs! WooHoo for us! There is still some weight loss to go, but in order to achieve (and maintain) a healthy weight, you need to change your eating habits and...
