Our garden is winding down, not because the growing season has ended here but because I have let it go completely wild. I usually lose my enthusiasm for gardening sometime in late August, and this year is no exception. At some point I just give in and let the weeds win (they grow with …
Meal Plans
I am actually really excited about what I plan on cooking this week. Maybe I’m just hungry right now and looking at all of these food pictures is making my stomach growl! I’m trying recipes from some new-to-me food bloggers this week, hoping to expand my horizons. I’m trying to use up some of …
I took a break from meal planning last week, partially due to our trip to the beach and partially because I was working on recipes for an upcoming post. But I am back at it this week with some yummy new recipes and some old favorites. I’m currently on the lookout for some new egg …
I took a freezer and pantry inventory and am trying to use up anything that may go bad soon… I hate wasting food. From my pantry I’m making some more of this tasty Farmhouse Soup. I’m working on tweaking the recipe to share with y’all since it turned out too mushy the first time. Here’s what else I’m cooking …

This will be such a fun week! My sister is visiting us this weekend and we are having some good friends over for dinner on Sunday. I think I’m going to grill a bunch of pizzas with my favorite homemade pizza dough. Then on Wednesday, the whole crew will fly to Massachusetts for a 4th …
My husband finally decided on his Father’s Day meal-of-choice today… grilled chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans. I think he would eat this every day if I offered it. He is definitely a meat and potatoes kind of man. We are starting to get tomatoes from our garden and I already have a …
