As promised here are two recipes I made recently. First, the Quesadillas de Camarones from Pioneer Woman. I can think of at least three friends right now that aren’t into shrimp. However, for the rest of you…these are so good. It’s just like ordering the shrimp fajitas from your favorite Mexican restaurant. Leah came [...]

Hi Friends! Sorry I’ve been a lame blogger. It’s pretty bad when people start texting threats because you haven’t been blogging…Kristel! Ha! I just haven’t had much to offer lately. I imagine readers can only take so many posts about vegetable gardening and canning. And that’s pretty much been my life over the last couple [...]

shoes and plums
Update on our NO SPENDING MONEY ON EATING OUT challenge. We have been successful! So far…not a cent has been spent! Last week I canned with friends from 10am to 7:30pm. I almost caved and ate Arby’s fast food with my friends. Then husb called literally 2 minutes after I accepted the Arby’s dinner invitation [...]

totally bummed
My favorite radio show, TBTL, got canceled. How lame is that? Totally lame! Starting Monday they will be strictly podcast. Time to bust out the Zune. However, my car stereo is going to be in some serious mourning between 7-10pm each night. Luke, Jen, Sean…thanks for being Too Beautiful To Live!

Last week K and I went to the beach and had a picnic. It was windy but the sand was nice and warm. and despite the t-shirt….we didn’t break any rules and had a great time. By the way…all you locals…they tore down the pier at Edmonds beach. Hannah, this makes the picture you painted [...]

day 4
of our NO EATING OUT challenge. So far so good! Although, I must tell you that husb had a dream on night 1 that he went to starbucks and ordered a drink and only remembered the challenge as he was handing the barista his card. Honestly, he really did dream about it. But it was [...]

thank you and please enter again
Serena and I entered some of our canned goods into the fair. I entered 5 cans. There were 642 entries. But I got some ribbon stickers! And then they did this to me! Serious! “Thank You Please Enter Again”…were they that bad? It’s okay. I bounced back. Serena…next year we are going [...]

the fair
is my favorite thing about summer! I love walking through the big tunnels that take you to the admission gate. Once your in…I suggest going straight for the purple cow. It’s so good that you will forget to take a picture of it. Sorry. It’s basically a blackberry ice cream float with Sierra Mist instead [...]

a one month challenge
to not spend any money eating out. That is what husb and I have agreed to! We don’t eat out THAT much but we can definitely cut back. I’m going to suffer mostly on the weekends…I tend to feel those are my days off from cooking. It will be interesting to see how much money [...]

what a crock
I made pizza for dinner. The coolest part about canning is making a meal and realizing a large portion of it is from your garden. The canned pizza sauce and bell peppers are from the garden. Awesome Husb bought me these pretty flowers Saturday. He says they came from his garden… also know as the [...]
