You know how you always have good intentions about eating and somehow a few days into the week and it all goes by the wayside? I do that all the time; buying up veggies and fruits that end up wilting or shriveling instead of being eaten. Actually, I think it doesn’t happen quite as often…
Ham + Scalloped Potatoes and Deviled Eggs
Our conversation at home about what to have for Easter dinner began a couple of weeks before the holiday. Although a Christian family, we aren’t really church-goers anymore so we don’t do a big celebration. No chocolate bunnies, no Easter baskets. Terry’s Easter finery was reduced to a sleeveless t-shirt and his favorite LA Dodger…
Garlic Ginger Bok Choy
After several days of eating meat (pizza! ham!), I was ready to go back to plant-based eating. Scanning saved recipes on my Pinterest page, I saw this one for some baby bok choy, which is one of my favorite veggies. Bok choy is a cruciferous veggie and has good health benefits. Although, I read about…
Spicy Steak Ramen
When I came downstairs late morning after cleaning the bathroom and putting the laundry away, I found T on the computer looking at his page of food ideas on my Pinterest board. He decided he wanted this Spicy Steak Ramen (and for later some buttermilk biscuits and tomato gravy). There’s a type of fresh ramen…
Impossible Burger
I’m trying to up my exercise game, most notably walking. No shame in admitting that my knees are stiff and some days they do not want to go. Riding a stationary bike has helped, but the more I add walking to that, the better and looser they seem to get. So, even though it was…
Creamy Tomato Quinoa Bake
It was the week that we got our second Pfizer vaccines. Right before I would be age eligible, I went to vaccinefinder.org and found openings at a Walmart across the Columbia River in Washington. I did a little research, and while Oregonians weren’t encouraged to go to Washington, there wasn’t an outright ban. So, we…
Crunchy Thai Peanut Salad
In our house, we’re pretty happy that March Madness is back this year. Even if we don’t follow college basketball all that much during the season, when it comes down to the playoffs, it’s just so much fun to watch the athletes hustle. Even better, on the men’s side, we’ve got Oregon and Oregon State…
Creamy Cheese Tortellini Soup
I love pasta. Pretty sure I could eat it for every meal. But, trying to reduce carbs (for a number of reasons), and you know, just eat healthier, since it’s so easy to overindulge in pasta. I personally think I’ve been doing so much better when it comes to eating healthy. I eat more plant-based…
Cottage Cheese + Veggie Crustless Quiche
Hello Daylight Savings Time. Even if it was a struggle to get going this morning, I know come supper time, Emma is going to be happy to be eating at what will seem to be a bit earlier. No question, it’s a lazy Sunday. It was beautiful yesterday, while it is now cool, gray and…
Banana Upside Down Cake
It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that you’ve got to balance out healthy eating with something decadent, right? Terry saw this Banana Upside Down Cake on Pinterest and declared that we must have it. Who was I to object? I will say this right off the bat, I’m pretty sure I over-baked it by about…
