Lavender Coconut Milk Bath

I don’t usually post about work, because this blog is supposed to about my spare time, and honestly it’s also about how I handle stress. Work causes me some stress, and when I’m stressed I cook, garden, clean, or scream. Usually, if I do one or more of the first three, I never make it [...]

BLT Soup

I love homemade soups in general. They tend to be quick, versatile, and nutritious.  Soups help me economize both time and leftovers. Some can be thrown together quickly when crunched for time, others can be simmered in a slow cooker to be ready and waiting at the end of a long hard day. I do [...]

Zesty Tomato Garlic Croutons

You’re going to need these croutons for the next recipe I post.  I suppose you could use store-bought, but these are better…. at least I think so! Sometimes I’ll whip up a batch of my Honey Whole Wheat Bread just so I can let it go stale for making croutons.  My family loves croutons. We [...]

Potato Towers

Today the weather decided to cooperate with my day off, and I was able to spend some time gardening.  A few days of 70 degree weather has me feeling like I’ve awaken from a long deep sleep. I don’t know if I can remember the arrival of spring making me feel as relieved as it [...]

Honey Whole Wheat Bread and a Few Bunny Trails

Before I get on with this, I’m warning you my motivation is on its way back,  and I was a little camera happy this morning. I realize bread making is a little time consuming, but I think it’s worth the effort. You’re probably wondering how I manage to bake bread several times a week when [...]

Winter Blues

I thought I had better put in a quick appearance.  Thanks to a mild case of the winter blues, my motivation level has been almost non-existent.  It’s been a few years since I’ve had a legitimate case of the blues, and I hope it’s the last for long time to come.  I’m dreaming of sunshine, [...]

Chunky Knitted Hat Project

Do you remember this yarn from a previous post?  I said I was going to make a hat for my niece for Christmas, and I did. It ended up being a  big hit with my mom and sister.  I think my niece tried it on when she opened it at Christmas, and then again when [...]

Grandma’s Vintage Linens

This is my grandma.  She’ll be 93 next month and she’s one of the feistiest girls I know.  This past week has been rough for Grandma.  She and Grandpa had to move from their condo into an assisted living apartment at the “Big House” (as Grandma calls it).  Grandpa has been fighting cancer for a [...

Country Style Pork Sausage Seasoning

I’m planning to make a sausage stuffed winter squash for dinner this evening, but I’m out of my country sausage seasoning.  I purchase organic pork that’s been raised roaming a wood lot.  I have the butcher package up one pound portions of ground pork for my freezer, and then season it myself to ass

Fire Roasted Tomato and Wild Rice Soup

I am long, long overdue to post a recipe. In fact, I was looking over post archives, and noticed that I didn’t post a single thing last January.  It must be a hibernation thing.  All I feel like doing lately is snuggling in with a pair of knitting needles, a pot of herb tea, and [...]
