If so, you know how easy and fun…

They are so delicious, provide you with so much nutrition, and are so versatile and so pretty! Most people think of eggs as a breakfast food, but they don’t get very creative in their preparation. We tend to stick with the tried and true scrambled or…

I do have a few online shopping sites for splurges that I am super excited about. By splurges, I’m not referring to over-the-top, expensive items.

Well, honestly, long before shelter in place became a thing, we had our favorite online shopping sites for basics for a few reasons. First, we live in the country. This means our choices are limited and the distance we have to…

Spring is here which means it is garden time! We always open our garden with radish and lettuce planting. We just love any and all radishes and eat them in so many different ways. They grow quick, with most taking just 28 days from seed to harvest. Whether eating them raw with a little butter and salt to adding the greens to a stir fry,…
