  • Kathy’s Taco Soup

    This was on our menu for Sunday lunch yesterday, but we had it for lunch today instead. Is it ever good!  This is a good, hearty, filling soup, and not at all too spicy. I love just filling the crockpot and letting it cook all day!  My blogging buddy, Kathy, graciously shared this recipe with […]

    Today was the mega-shop.  The boys and I headed out and got ‘er done.  Will was VERY Will today.  If there was a pattern on the floor to be followed, he followed it.  If the store had a sound to it (buzzing, humming, whatever), he heard it.  The camera at the grocery check out, the […]

    Ever have one of those days that takes you out of your comfort zone?  Boy, I sure did today!  It sure felt wonderful mid-afternoon, to come back to my own little home, brew myself a BIG cup of tea, and sit down to relax!  I love my home!!! Now, some of you had some particular […]

         I have been hesitant to share this recipe.  It’s just such an easy thing, and really not at all anything special.  However, it is a family favorite, and a dish that has saved me on many a busy day.  The prep time is less than 10 minutes, moving slowly; and it bakes in the oven for about an hour, […]

    As usual, I have so much I’d planned to share with you this evening; but I really and truly have very little time to do it tonight.  There is much going on, and I’ll try to share a bit of it here quickly. Dixie, our  big black lab mix, is a very intelligent dog.  Dani is getting […]

  • Hamburger Patties With Mushroom Gravy And Why They’re a Favorite Here

    We’ve had a productive day here.  The porch is coming right along!  The heavy timbers that will support the  new porch are being carefully laid out and put into place.  Since our new porch will be quite a bit larger than our old porch, holes needed to be drilled into the concrete of part of […]

  • Cheeseburger Soup

    This is a good, hearty soup, inspired by everyone’s favorite – the cheeseburger! It would be a great supper time soup, paired with bread. We enjoyed it for a filling lunch with the left over corn bread from last night’s dinner. My boys both like this soup, too (which is important to note as Will is not a […]

         I had quite a few things I’ve been pondering that I’d hoped to begin sharing with you today.  It looks like they will all have to wait.  Oh, it’s been a good day here, a great day!  My husband, after spending about half of the day running to and from the lumber yard, finally […]

    Having a menu plan in place is vital to the smooth running of my home.  My kitchen.  I really missed having my menu plan in place last week.  We survived, of course, but I like things working at better than “survival” mode!  This week’s menu includes some old standards, something new that I’m going to […]
