I am giving you my proportions, but you can easily divide and add more of some things and less of others to suit your tastes. 6Continue reading “Bacon Onion Beef Burgers”

Another storage solution for a difficult to store item
We bought a tent a while ago–it was about the same cost as to rent one and now we have it for other events. The problem is that we didn’t want to store it in the house, and leaving it on the floor of the garage was also a problem. I found some heavy dutyContinue reading “Another storage solution for a difficult to store item”

When we go to our favorite Greek/Italian recipe in town, you can pretty much count on my ordering a chicken souvlaki wrap with extra sauce and extra tomato.

A Tidy Shed
It’s been a busy year, and we have had a zillion projects around the yard and gardens.

Storage Solution–for a couple of difficult to store items
This is a repost from a few years ago. We used to have 5 bikes, and they took up a huge amount of floor space.

Apple Salad
Oh, we love this one. I was introduced to it when we did a series of “healthy meals” for events at work to try to get our employees to see that food can both taste good and be good for you. I’m not sure that worked with our employees, but I have been making thisContinue reading “Apple Salad”
Mike’s Favorite Meatloaf Dinner

Applesauce by the bushel!
We are completely out of applesauce! I only make it every other year, and this was the year. Apple Valley Orchard sells bushels of second quality apples for a lower price than first quality. A warning: You must be ready to process the apples immediately because some of them are likely bruised and will beginContinue reading “Applesauce by the bushel!”
