We picked up our fourth bag of CSA produce today and so far I am really enjoying the experience. The only item we have not used since we started four weeks ago is the bok choy. I just cannot find a recipe that appeals to either Dave or I. Our share today consisted of spinach,Continue reading “#6 Radish Sandwich and Leek Quiche”

National Grilled Cheese Month
Did you know that April is National Grilled Cheese Month? I am not sure who decides these types of things, but what the heck, I love grilled cheese and it sounds like as good a reason as any to celebrate. I ran across this reference to grilled cheese month when a couple of the blogsContinue reading “National Grilled Cheese Month”
# 3 A Spring Salad and Ice Cream Cake
What a great Easter weekend! The only thing that could have made it better was if Kindra and DL could have joined us. Over the course of the weekend we went out to dinner with friends, got to hold a new baby (Evvie was visiting from Branson), went to church and out to brunch, visitedContinue reading “# 3 A Spring Salad and Ice Cream Cake”
#1 – Join a CSA
Raise your hand if you know what a CSA is…….just as I expected, only a few of you know about this concept. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture and is a model that allows consumers to purchase fresh, local foods and establish a relationship with the farmer who produces it. It works like this, theContinue reading “#1 – Join a CSA”
Weekly Menu
For almost thirty years I have created a weekly menu for our nightly dinners. Based on this menu I then create a grocery list. I literally do not know how to go to the grocery store without doing this. I tried winging it once, just walking up and down the aisles without a plan inContinue reading “Weekly Menu”

Kayla was hurrying into a new client’s office and accidently fell, which resulted in more than one fracture and a separation of bones that should not be separated. Her ortho doc is hoping that the way he set the fracture will keepContinue reading “Broken Bones and Chicken Enchiladas”
Feed a fever, starve a cold?
Or is it feed a cold, starve a fever? What if you have both a fever and a cold? Either way, whenever I am sick, I always want a cup of hot tea and a bowl of steaming hot soup. I have been feeling a little under the weather the last few days but thinkContinue reading “Feed a fever, starve a cold?”
Whew…..what a weekend!
Our weekend started with some fun Red Friday activities. Besides KC Wolf, Chiefs Cheerleaders and Len Dawson, we also saw Clark Hunt but I was not fast enough to get a picture of anything but the back of his head. After dinner with Molly, we watched a documentary that she wanted to see called Food,Continue reading “Whew…..what a weekend!”
HOT, HOT, HOT
The only way to cook in this heat is on the grill, outside of the house. Anything else is just unbearable. I stopped by the farmers market on my way to physical therapy Wednesday and picked up another pint of Heirloom tomatoes, along with regular tomatoes, jalapenos, a green pepper and some corn. For dinnerContinue reading “HOT, HOT, HOT”
Happy 4th of July!!
The weekend got off to a great start with an early morning visit to the Farmer’s Market. I was going specifically to find some Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes but came home with several other items including cucumbers and home-made orzo. I absolutely love the farmers market and everything about it. I have been to theContinue reading “Happy 4th of July!!”
