Happy September, and now welcome to fall's change of seasons. After this summer my area suffered through a harsh hot weather related drought and an uptick in tornadic activity; though we have a lot of tornados and straight line winds wrapped with thunderstorms here, this year we had at least three different occaisions where we had upwards to five or more tornados at one time! That will have your head spin for real! Sitting on the patio relaxing one night last week, I felt a cool breeze saunter through the trees and ruffle my umbrella ovehead announcing onset of fall was not far behind. I took this photo late in October 2022. My friend's sold their 25 year old home to get in on the housing boon and to downsize. My girlfriend wanted to finally, after all this time, get her true "forever home" just the way she wanted it. They built a new ranch style home with all the bells and whistles on it and in it. They finally finished it and her husband is about to retire so th...

Do I have a super easy and very low-key recipe for you. This is fresh from your garden or local farm stand or farmer's market and then right to your table for the freshest and tastiest salad for summer. Our family has long made this type of salad that can be known by various names like the simple summer salad, or chopped veggie salad. This salad is closely related to the Greek Salad, however, this salad contains no letttuce. This salad is so versitile one can adjust to likes and dislikes and adjust ingredients and dressings. If you do have a garden by all means please use your cucumbers, tomato, and green peppers in this salad. Delicious! For our family the salad ingredients for this recipe we chose were: *1 large cucumber ( chopped into 1/2" pieces) *1 tomato chopped (chopped into 1/2" pieces) (*can use 1 pint of cherry/grape tomato sliced or not) *1 medium green pepper (cut into thin strips) (*can chunk them if so desired) *About 1/2 red onion sliced very t...

I'm still Spring cleaning are you? I guess I actually Spring clean year-round, but once you get out of Spring/Summer, it's just simply called deep cleaning. To me, however, Spring cleaning is where we can throw open the windows from the long and closed up winter to feel and breathe in the freshness of Spring. The fresh air fills the house and then the allergies start! Oh well; can't win them all I guess. I often frequent farm stands and farmer's markets all through summer and early fall. I go to as many as possible. Our regular supermarkets are now even buying from local or near local farmers because they even realize that the seasonal fruits and vegetables grown as close as can be are the freshest and lessen their carbon footprint. Most farmers of late are trying smaller batch growths to try and eliminate as much harmful fertilization as possible. So fruits and veggies need to be clean before we eat them. I have a little recipe hack that you can try. It is so su...

One day after eating dinner my young adult daugther was home and told me, "Mom did you know there's an easier way to do all of this scrubbing you're doing." She suggested that I go and buy a thing she called " power spray wash ". I thought this is just a lazy melennial trying to get out of doing household chores like dishwashing the old fashioned way. So just maybe these kids knew something I didn't. I went to the store and purchased the Dawn PowerWash Dish Spray.While it was slightly pricey, I did find a coupon that I could use to justify buying it. I sprayed my first casserole dish and was in love with the product. It works exactly as they say. You simply spray it into the casserole and leave it for a few minutes; adding no water into the dish. By the time I cleaned the table and loaded up the dishwasher, my burnt-on foods pan was visualy lifting! I simply rinsed all of it down the drain.While I did swipe my dish rag over the casserole beca...
