Happy Homemaker Monday


Sunday weather started out at 12°F (wind chill of 5°F).  It was snowing as well.



Stray cat chasing a bird?   I have not seen any cats around here lately.  Interesting.  


 

 


Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.



The Weather . . .

19°F  with a wind chill of 8°F


Right now I am . . .

Brewing coffee and posting this blog post.


Thinking and pondering . . .

If you have chickens, are you team "fill the roosts with straw/bedding"  or nothing team?  We put straw in ours, and our eggs are clean.  I was given some eggs a few weeks ago (team nothing in the roosts), and the eggs were very dirty.  Also, since I have not been putting straw in the roosts, they are laying on the floor of the coop, so I'm going back to putting straw inside the roosts.


How I am feeling . . .

Pretty good.


On the breakfast plate . . .


(before they cooled completely)

Egg/sage sausage/cheese cups to go with an oatmeal bake.  When I bake the egg cups, I like to put the solid ingredients in each cup first, then mix up the 6 eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream (I used Greek plain yogurt and a splash of  milk, salt/pepper and 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and evenly pour it over the other ingredients.  It's just so much easier to evenly distribute the ingredients.  I baked this for 18-20 minutes at 350°F.

By the way, this helps make one pound of sausage make more meals.  I used 1 cup cooked sausage and 1 cup or less of pepper jack cheese that I hand shredded.

Also, I know they are not cheap, but I use parchment cups, because no matter what I grease my pan with, they always stick.


On the lunch plate . . .

Leftovers.


On the dinner plate . . .

Meatballs over wild rice, asparagus or green beans


On the menu . . .

-Cabbage Lasagna
-crock pot meatballs over wild rice or quinoa, roasted green beans

On the reading pile . . .

Still reading this book.  I'm just lacking reading mojo lately.

On my TV . . .

Netflix - This is Us.


Looking around the house . . . 

One more day of painting, and I will have finished another door.  I have also managed to get more door trim painted.

I'm in full swing on the hallway project as well.  It was the "drop station" for all things that had to be moved for carpet removal.

I have started another donation box, gotten rid of a few things, and now I am focused  on chipping away at our winter project list.


To-do list . . .

Deep Clean - Clean Washing Machine (it has a "clean washer" cycle), clean microwave.  If you do not have a "Clean" cycle on your washing machine, you can buy tablets to toss in your washer and run on a hot cycle to clean your washing machine.

-dust
-laundry
-dishes
-bake a breakfast
-paint one side of a door, prime some door trim
