I posted the recipe for the BBQ Turkey a couple of days ago. Here is what I did with the finished turkey. First, I removed the skin from one of the pieces of turkey breast. I sliced it pretty thin and put it on a plate and microwaved it on 60% power for 90 seconds.Continue reading “BBQ Turkey Sandwiches”

Last weekend it was close to 80 degrees here. Today, the high won’t get above freezing with a low of 13 predicted for overnight. Brrrrrrrrr. I’ll be honest, I would have been a lot more excited about 3″ of snow a month ago, but we have a family member with an entirely different opinion. SheContinue reading “A LATE Snow and the Puppy who LOVES it”

The weather today is going to be in the 70’s and gorgeous. Tomorrow is only going to be in the 30’s for the HIGH. So I am going to make turkey two ways. First, I took the meat off the bone according to this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd1rM3CsoN0&t=670s&ab_channel=Tasty For today’s dinner, I am going to barbequeContinue reading “Two-Fer Turkey”

When we looked at this house, this space looked like this: If you have been following this blog for a while, you know that I divided this space into a butler’s pantry and laundry room.

I make the recipe from the America’s Test Kitchen Vegetarian Cookbook. You can subscribe to their site and get this recipe, or you can use thisContinue reading “BIG Batch of Saag Paneer”

I had some really over ripe bananas and thought I could use them in French toast batter. Here’s what I came up with: Batter: 3 really ripe bananas (should be able to almost squeeze them out of the skin like toothpaste) 5 eggs 3 cups of milk 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1Continue reading “Banana French Toast”

Last summer/fall, we sprayed a section of grass next to the garden on the south side of the house so that we could grow more tomatoes this year. So this spring, I had 5 cubic yards of planting mix delivered. I used some around the shed to bring up the grade between the concrete onContinue reading “A BIGGER garden for tomatoes…..”

Last year, I wrote about planting a bunch of forsythia bushes along the retaining wall between our lawn and our neighbor’s driveway. I had intended to put down river rock last year as a mulch, but it didn’t get done. In the fall, we planted 65 more forsythia bushes down the rest of the wall.Continue reading “Green Screen Update”

This is the time of year that you can find primroses at your local garden center or hardware store. I love these little flowers because like gerbera daisies, they come in fantastic bright and cheery colors. I found this silver plated decorative bowl about 5 years ago at an estate sale. I think I paidContinue reading “A Decorative Idea”

We had dear friends up for the day over the weekend and so to celebrate getting to spend time with them, I decorated the table. I really haven’t done much table decorating since the holidays, so this was a nice change. I used yellow Kalanchoe in verdigris pots, green glass and black metal lanterns, andContinue reading “First table of the Spring”
