Simple Life, Simple Food... and Chickens

But whether or not you agree that they are perfect, they are at least different than your average ordinary deviled eggs. What makes them perfect? They are creamy, … [Continue reading]
Thank you all so much for your patience with me while I've been tied up with my daughter's wedding! It was beautiful, and next week I plan to start showing you some of my favorite parts.

I wanted to thank you for sticking with me through this lull by having a quick little Easter giveaway. Earn your first entry by … [Continue reading]

You all know that I stay home with Josie, and I'm always looking for something I can do from home to supplement our income. Becoming a Jamberry Independent Consultant is my most recent venture, and I hope you won't mind this short "commercial". I really am selling these because I love them! I've never been able to give myself a decent manicure. I could never get my right hand painted as pretty as … [Continue reading]

Before I began I really believe that a lot of problems people have on diets are mental more than physical. I know that was true for me. So I sat down and made a list of the feelings and thoughts that have sabotaged me in the past, so that I could address them in my plan. Discouragement when I reach a plateau Boredom with my healthy choices (I don't like to try new things, so cutting out a bunch of unhealthy things without adding many new ones, leaves me with a very limited selection) A … [Continue reading]
One of the first recipes I ever learned to make was my Nanny's Apple Crisp. I was totally intimidated by pie crust back then. This is one 0f those recipes that is just really hard to mess up. The ingredients don't have to be measured precisely and you can make it in a small baking dish for just a few or in a big pan for a crowd.

This conversation happens more than it ought to at my house. Me: J-Bear, go feed the chickens. J-Bear: Did you get feed? Me: Are we out of feed? J-Bear: Oops, guess I forgot to tell you again. With three of us pitching in to take care of them, and none of us really good at putting things on the shopping list, this has happened way more than I'd like to admit. It happened again last night. And I couldn't possibly make it to the feed store until this afternoon. So what's a farm girl to … [Continue reading]
