Productivity Feels So Good!
Been a busy day here at the home on the mountain. I’m not one to sit still for long and always need a current protect or two. Well, today I managed several. First chore right out of bed this morning was harvesting the morning crop of figs. Once I got inside and cleaned the full…

Nutrition fast and delicious
I’ll never understand why people prefer packaged processed food over fresh home-cooked. I see absolutely no advantages and this comes from someone who raised and cooked regularly for a family of four. We had active schedules with band, cross country track, ballet, karate for the two children on top of simply living an active family…

Grill time!
Today has been pretty much a do nothing day. Not a bad thing. We slept in….. anything over 7.5 to 8 hours is sleeping in for me. Today I got 9 hours! Picked a few figs, then prepared breakfast while Randy got his morning shower. I’m almost finished with that large knit project and continued…

Strawberry Goodness!
Today I was in the mood for oatmeal but am running low on the preferred steel cut oats I use when cooking oatmeal as a cereal. So I chose to make oat flour pancakes instead. Fresh wholesome ingredients makes the BEST pancakes. I’ve used J. R. Watkins products since the 1970s when I was a…

Another Hot Day….
….in the deep south. This type of extreme hot and humid, which actually is NOT normal for the area, much less the whole country….. doesn’t lean to much of an appetite with forced reduction in physical activity caused by the energy being sucked right out of a body. But, we still need to eat and…

With today being America’s Independance day I thought it a perfect time to document this particular segment of one of his television shows. Red Skelton recites the Pledge of Allegiance His version brings tears to my…

Summer time in the country
Summer time was special growing up. While we lived in the burbs, we had aunts and uncles that lived on the river and were good old country people. They knew how to have a good time. We cousins played outside while the men grilled, the women cooked the side dishes, then every one chipped in…

Salad time
We haven’t had a fresh green salad in several days so this was a great night for one. All the traditionally used veggies of carrots, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, celery then added fresh sunflower seeds for something different. I’ve had several USA grown Haus avocados ripening the last couple days and sliced one of them for…

Left overs done right
We had brocoli soup left from last night to have again tonight. Since it is Sunday, that was wonderful because it meant less time in the kitchen for a nourishing meal. One of our favorite meals is boneless, skinless chicken baked on top of green beans to let the flavorful juices cook into them. Tonight…

Yogurt pancakes!
No photos tonight. I didn’t think about it until the meal had been consumed. It has been a rushed crazy day and I had to throw something together for dinner fairly quickly. I was feeling the need for simple fiber and there was plain Greek yogurt in the fridge in need of being used soon.…
