Ready or not here they come!
I knew it would be soon. I’ve been monitoring every couple days. Today was a rare moment of ME time while hubby was gone to physical therapy. We are back into our normal north east Alabama summer weather thank goodness. The horrid horrid intense humidity and heat seem to have left the area. So I…

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…

Happy Independence Day
I miss this wonderful man and great patriot. We watched him on television regularly when I was a child. 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…

YES! We can have shortbread!
My Scot DNA is doing the happy dance! I found this recipe and have been eager to try it. I make my own oat flour but this creator specifically states to use fine ground because the courser home ground makes the final product texture different than expected in shortbread. While I couldn’t find the suggested…

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…

Waste not, want not
I was raised knowing you never waste things. If it could be repaired, it was repaired. We got creative with left overs if there were any. With the cost of everything, especially food so insanely high right now, that sentiment is even more important. I’ve had the stems of a couple brocolli heads in the…

For the love of Strawberries!
I have loved strawberries all of my life. There is even a poem floating about that my father wrote when I was 3 years old about my love of them. So I can state the fact that it is a life long love. My favorite birthday dessert is Shoney’s Big Boy restaurant Strawberry Pie! Honestly…

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.…
