just our day to day life
Friday is National Donut Day, and there are all sorts of free donuts being given away at various places. As a matter of fact, the reps from the Butler County Donut Trail are supposed to be dropping off donuts for me as a thank-you for …
I used to love making a bunch of different Christmas cookies…trying new recipes each year and making my favorites. Then I had Jenson and that got more difficult, but I still managed quite a variety. And then I had Marlowe, and two days before Christmas …
I love margaritas. A lot. But I don’t like just any margarita… I’m kind of picky and prefer higher end ones – rocks and salt, please. The premade ones aren’t that great (I mean, I probably won’t turn one down), but when I saw these …

A couple of months ago I bought the liveGfree Southwest Vegetarian Tamale Bites at Aldi’s when they were on special. I didn’t try them until last month when I was looking for a quick lunch to make while Jenson napped. I was at the point …
We almost always have AmyLu Apple and Gouda Chicken Sausages in our fridge or freezer from Costco. They are so good…gluten free, few ingredients, nitrate-free, easy to prepare (i.e. fully cooked), and did I mention that they have gouda in them? Sold. They come in …
