This is one of my favorite soup recipes. My Creamy Chicken & Wild Rice Soup is similar to the one at Panera Bread, but I feel this one has a lot more flavor. The soup has a lot of ingredients, but don’t let that scare you away. If you prep your ingredients before starting to […]
I’m a fan of Mexican food-at least the Americanized version. Tacos, enchiladas, burritos-I love them all. For the most part it is easy to make them low carb as well by turning them into a salad and leaving out the tortillas or chips. Not everyone is a fan of low carb though, which is why […]
Mom is a pizza lover. She’d have it for dinner every day if she could. I am not a pizza lover. I’m the sort of person who sops up the grease with a napkin, feeds most of the toppings to the dogs, and doesn’t eat the outside crust. For a year I strictly followed a […]
It’s been a snowy week here-we’ve had about five inches of snow. I spent my days going through boxes, drawers, etc. I found some items to throw out, give away, or take to the thrift store-it was a good feeling. Two years ago my sister Anita asked if I wanted to join a group on […]
Every year we celebrate Chinese New Year with Egg Rolls and Sauce. We’re not Asian, but it’s a thing we do. I love things pertaining to Japanese culture-anime, their office supplies (check out JetPens.com if you’re interested), their design aesthetic. Really though, we’re just looking for a good excuse to have egg rolls! This is […]

There are many opinions on controlling feral cat populations – especially when it is at your house or neighborhood. There is nothing more irritating than picking up something a cat has peed or sprayed on; seeing that a female cat is again pregnant; or finding another unwanted litter of kittens. Some would say “shoot them”, […]
Curry Chicken is one of my favorite recipes. Growing up I can remember my grandma Emma making this dish-she got it at some point while my grandpa was serving in the military. The military life was before my time, but I have many memories of cooking in her kitchen. It’s quick, simple, and doesn’t require […]
It’s too cold to get much done outside, so things have been pretty slow around the farm this week. Letting the dogs in and out is enough of the cold as I want to experience, but at least for the most part the skies have been blue and the sun has been shining. I started […]
