I picked a new author to read for March (although I started it last month). She has a series of books, so I started with her first one. I borrowed this from the library, but ended up ordering a copy of it.
Mum's the Word, by Kate Collins (Flower Shop Series)
Speaking of books. TLC book tour emailed me wanting me to read a book, and post a review on my blog. The book looks interesting, but seriously, my time in March is limited this year. Has anyone else gotten these emails?
Nothing much going on considering it's winter and I'm stuck home. I did manage to make a bucket of homemade laundry detergent amongst regular chores.
We have major fog this morning, but the weather is a bit warmer. School has a 2 hour delay, and there is hardly any traffic on the country highway of ours. It's nice to have a quiet morning. The other night a plane went over us at 3am and woke us up (flying that low).
I almost forgot to take a photo! It was so good - Sweet Potato and Black bean enchiladas. I forgot to make the crema sauce for the topping, but oh my gosh, so good. We'll make these again, and make the topping minus the avocado. I used a store bought non-gmo/low carb tortilla for these too. The sweet potatoes have to be pre-cooked for this recipe, but worth it. I used a recipe online from Ambitious Kitchen (I'm finding some goodies on that site) - Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchiladas with Avocado Lime Crema.
The sauce can be made with home canned tomato sauce and home canned tomato paste, with spices. Oh my, I cannot wait to plant sweet potatoes, possibly black beans this year too.

You are such a dedicated reader. I have trouble with the happening going on around here having enough quiet time to read as I'd like. Hopefully you will inspire me to make the time.
Have a good week!

And boy do those enchiladas look good. I LOVE enchiladas, but not the ones with meat so much, so I usually eat cheese enchiladas with green sauce, but I'm going to try this recipe cause sweet potatoes are right up my alley, so to speak.
Going to the VA tomorrow to see Occupational Therapist to determine how bad my balance is I think, and then to the Neurologist for my Essential Tremor follow up. It's always an all day thing there. Fun Fun Fun!!!
I did get approved for another round of acupuncture for which I'm grateful because since the last session round ran out, I can see my condition deteriorating again, so I'm praying this will bring it back into sync.
I've started cooking again. It's nice for Bro Tom to get home to a hot meal instead of having to cook himself. Tonight we had fried chicken (coated with corn starch cause I can't eat wheat), mashed tatties and homemade gravy thickened with corn starch. It was real good. Not as good as Southern Fried Chicken, but without using wheat flour, you can't make that.
Praying everyone has a safe week. Praying for your needs and for the people in Tennessee. My heart just breaks for them all. Tornadoes are terrifying, day or night, but night I think is worse.
God bless.
