Is it just me, or does food bring people together in a special way? There is something wonderful about sharing your table and the fruits of your labours (or someone else’s for that matter). Conversation flows more naturally and small silences go unnoticed as we enjoy the meal. Years ago, we would split the time…… Continue reading easter feasting
I’ve been sharing some older Easter posts. This is a re-post from April, 2017. I’ve been mixing up a few treats for the weekend activities. There was a wonderful Good Friday concert at our sending church last night. What an amazing evening with a beautiful group who loves Jesus. We listened to several talented musicians and we…… Continue reading easter treats
If you’ve spent any time around here, you know how much I enjoy a comforting and nourishing bowl of soup. Soup is one of life’s perfect solutions. Bits of this and that in your vegetable crisper? Make soup. Leftover chicken, turkey or beef? Make soup. Ham bone? Soup. Beets in season? More soup. Giant package…… Continue reading soup’s on ~ potato soup
Ever have ‘one of those days’? You know the kind…from the moment you get outta bed, things just go decidedly wrong. As I went to get dressed this morning, I put on a top. Inside out.

Sometimes the day has a shift in plans, or I forget to take my meat from the freezer. …… Continue reading creamy mushroom and spinach pasta
‘Tis the season… No, I’m not lost in a Christmas time warp. It’s the time of year when the mercury goes up and down like a yo-yo. When you want to get out for fresh air, but the weather holds you captive inside. When the germ potential on every possible surface is at an all-time…… Continue reading soup’s on : chicken barley soup
I’ve been trying to get in the habit of menu planning. Last year, I began adding a meals section to the weekly plan in my bullet journal. My intention was to plan for all meals, however, that doesn’t always work. If I followed through on my dinners, though, I felt successful. I would say that…… Continue reading chaos control: meal planning
The Christmas fun has begun around here. Though the decorating is only half done at our place, we’ve been busy with preparations for some church events: the Christmas parade in town, a fun night out for the ladies, a Christmas concert and gift baskets. Days before our ladies’ evening, I began gathering supplies: card stock,…… Continue reading let’s be jolly: ladies’ christmas craft night, plus making christmas banners & assembling a charcuterie board
