Cell phone free tractors
The boys will be happy for days, since we got to go ride on the tractors. Poppy and Pop-po were plowing up their rice fields to prepare for this year’s crop. And of course we took full advantage of the tractor rides. For some reason I find it funny when farmers (aka my dad and grandpa) always […]
Cauliflower Fritters
One of my favorite things about having a vegetable garden is almost being forced into creating new recipes. Take the cauliflower this year, it did so amazing I was “forced” to create two new dishes we absolutely love. A little bit of time and effort working the dirt, planting, and watering. That’s it. We’ve basically […]
Menu Plan Monday
Happy Valentine’s day to you all. DT and I celebrated a day early by building fence for our chickens, that one’s huge for me, a great V-day present in fact. We also barbecued steaks, ribs and potatoes, yummo. In fact, I didn’t miss celebrating at all, although this morning I found 2 sweet cards waiting […]
Whispers from God
As Oprah calls it, small whispers from God, he’s trying to delicately tell us something. Giving us small little glimpses of what is or could be. I got these whispers a few times shortly before I found out I was pregnant with the boys. A casual trip to Babies”R”Us with DT and all we could […]
Beef and Broccoli Stir-fry
A quick healthy and delicious meal is what I strive for on most nights. This one fits the bill entirely. It’s like Chinese take-out at home, with fresh ingredients, no added MSG, and it’s a kid pleaser, too. The boys gobbled this up, even the broccoli. Let me show you how. 1 lb round steaks, […]

But not much later in the day I got the worst headache I’ve had in years, […]

Egg Candy
Chicken porn, eye candy, good eats. What ever you want to call them, I just love the look of these beautiful eggs. This is the ultimate for me, the reason I got chickens in the first place. The beautiful colored eggs. In the beginning I didn’t even know there were so many colors. And look […]
Spicy Sausage and Cauliflower Soup
Fresh garden cauliflower and the sweetest little garden helper. Makes this Momma very happy! When you have produce this fresh, it makes you want to go straight to the kitchen and get to cooking. And that’s just what I did. This simple and delicious recipe for soup is comforting, and with this huge storm that’s […]
Menu Plan Monday
I am drawing a blank this week on what is going on, nothing much I guess. My diet is still going strong, I didn’t lose anymore this week so I am going to go strong working out and hope this gives me the extra push to keep losing. I’ve been selling lots of hatching eggs, […]
