Kitchen Chit Chat

 

I still have a supply of home grown sweet potatoes, so I decided to mix up a casserole with those, sausage, kale, broccoli, mushrooms and garlic for breakfast.





Dinner was a big 'ol crock pot of chili.  Dessert was Einkorn applesauce cake (Jovial recipe is online).  Nothing better for a cold and busy day yesterday.  The best part?  Leftovers today. Both dishes required quite a bit of time in the kitchen early in the day.  Leftovers give me more time for other things today, and hopefully some handiwork time.

I'm already on the hunt for more crochet patterns.  I'm filling up the Christmas binder too with gifting ideas and recipes.


First little something special for the girls.  These are about 3 x 4 inches and perfect to carry in their purse to jot notes or write a list.  So cute.  I'll tuck one in their lunches for work with a special note to cheer them up for the day.

So nice to think about Christmas so early in the year. (And I mean that, not being sarcastic at all.)
I love Christmas. Have missed the last 3 due to illness I didn't want to spread to others. I use to pride myself on having all Christmas presents bought by the end of summer and all Christmas cards mailed by Thanksgiving weekend. Things have slowed down a lot for me because I have trouble sitting in one place for so long and I can no longer drive.
But I am sure God has other plans for me in this stage of life too. Praise God!!!
Have a great week ya'all, and be safe.
God bless.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
