Tuesday Tidbits



I made my first cabbage and egg omelet.  That is not red cabbage either.  It's leftover cabbage I had previously cooked up with beets from the garden.   I fried it in a small bit of non-gmo organic canola oil, then added a tiny bit of organic soy sauce.  I poured in two scrambled eggs.  I simply used salt and pepper and a bit if cheese in the middle.  Absolutely delicious!    Mama Pea over at A Home Grown Journal, mentioned cabbage for breakfast (with eggs).  I just had to try it.




I'm going to try making this next year with homemade cream cheese or other homemade cheese.

If my brain had been all together thinking straight, I would have fried some onions, peppers and potatoes for a breakfast side too (or squash hashbrowns).



Lunch was a root beer jelly and peanut butter sandwich, an apple, and non-gmo chips (okay so I put a little too many on my plate, ha ha!).  I had to at least try it so folks could know.  It is (the jelly that is) good with peanut butter, but spread it thin.  The root beer jelly is very sweet.  You only need a little bit.

As you can tell, I took it a bit slower yesterday, but still got some work done. I finished crocheting an eyeglass case for myself.




This is the latest book (non-fiction) I am reading from the library.  I have had it, but have had little time to read it.  It's due back soon, so I hope to be able to finish it.  It's about three female US Army National Guardsmen, who join the military for different reasons, but never imagined having to go to war. 

The weather is warming up in the afternoons, so I'm back in the garden early while it's still cool out.  Then it's back inside to write.  I'm currently working on a short story.  

This cooler weather is begging me to bake something yummy.  Maybe more granola bars?  Or possibly banana bread.  Hm.  Both sound good with a hot cup of tea on the porch today.

These cool mornings have me in the baking mood. I have cinnamon swirl banana bread in the oven now!

How did I miss this? I have cabbage! I have eggs! I will have to try it. I love that eyeglass case - you are so talented! BTW, there is no such thing as too many potato chips on your plate.... :)
Liz, that sounds delicious.

Susan, you made me laugh about the potato chips! Ha ha!

I eat all kinds of veggies for breakfast. I will have to try the cabbage omelet.

I actually really love cabbage, I will most definitely have to give this a try.

I love the way you used the cabbage and eggs! When I first saw the picture, I thought it was an omelette with chipped dried beef in it!

I'm with you on the potato chips. (I just wish they were a main food group!)
It was really good, and I would have never thought of putting cabbage with eggs.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

New Recipe Tried and other Bits

  I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients. Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time. These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter. These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one. The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in...
