What’s your go-to on a crazy day? I love a spring mix salad with things I’ve already got prepped. A one bowl wonder that I am calling a salad.
Maybe you do your salads differently. Please let me know!
I really enjoy having a salad for lunch and today is no exception. Luckily I had food prepped for the week. I made a batch of chicken in the slow cooker. Cooked a couple of cups of brown rice to add to things ..read more

This week I’m discovering the joy of walking TWO dogs. I think we’re all agreed that walking a dog gives you more steps but let me tell you about walking two of them. My grand-dog Stella is spending the week with Penny and me. They enjoy spending time together, which makes visiting a lot easier on all of us.
Neither Penny nor Stella has great leash manners. Penny is now a 50-pound dog and Stella is 75 pounds and strong ..read more

What do I mean by adjusting soup on the fly? Good question.
I made a pot of vegetarian chili in the Instant Pot the other day and had it for dinner. It was not my best attempt at soup or chili. I think I put too much broth in. It was not as thick as I expect chili to be. Maybe it was because I didn’t add any meat but I’m pretty sure I’ve made vegetarian chili before and it was fine ..read more

Kale Chips are Delicious!
I found my favorite way to enjoy kale. Perhaps you’ve tried it in a salad, or wilted in a soup with lots of vegetables. That is two different ways that I enjoy eating kale.
But by far, my favorite way is by turning kale into kale chips. It’s a great light crunch snack. I feel that they are a better crispy, crunchy snack than potato chips ..read more
