It’s been so long since I have written a blog! Or, it feels that way at least! I have a few blogs in the oven….just need to find time to write them! We have been really busy the last week or so, and going to be even busier for the next couple weeks with my mom coming to visit and then our big trip! Last … Continue reading It's Raining Leaves! {a photo blog}
When you eat meat as much as we do, eating it plain gets boring real fast! I am always looking for new ways to add flavor to meat! I found this recipe idea on SkinnyTaste. (her recipe) We tried it once and were hooked! It’s delicious, and light! I like to make a double batch to have extra to put on the potatoes that J has … Continue reading Pork Chops {and dijon pan sauce}
I have not had popcorn balls in forever! When one of the bloggers I follow posted this idea, I thought they would be the perfect treat to send with J to work tomorrow, on Halloween! I saw them posted by Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman. You may have heard of her– she has a little show on The Food Network. 😉 She just released … Continue reading Popcorn Balls! {For Halloween}
It’s Friday morning! Since 2 of my commenters did not want to play, I had 2 entries! I used Random.org to generate a random winner. And to make it fair, I entered each person 10 times. Jen is the winner!! Congrats! What did she win? A NEW CAR!! Just kidding! 🙂 But in addition to a bar of fresh farm made goats milk soap, she … Continue reading Is That a *Giveaway* I See? **Winner Update**
Our little town of Spotsylvania has the best Farmer’s Market! It’s open every Saturday, and we try to make it a point to get out there and get some fresh fruit and vegetables! The apples are soooo good! They are fresh from the trees, and we always get a few! Everything is always so pretty! It’s hard not to just buy everything! Fresh raspberries anyone? … Continue reading Fresh Finds at the Farmer's Market!
I woke up today to the coldest day so far, and the first frost! J says it was frosty the other day, but not that I saw, and definitely not like this! The sun came up and thawed it out, but not before I could snap off some pictures! Continue reading Frosty Morning
If you follow me regularly, you may have noticed some changes going on, included the change to the title of my blog. I was having a crisis of identity! I created this blog just after the last Olympics ended….which is where the title came from. I love the Olympics! Every 2 years I fantasize about what sport I would be in if I was an … Continue reading What's In A Name?
Holiday #1– Christmas; holiday #2–Halloween!! I love Halloween! We have been decorating our yard for Halloween for many years now. I love making it spooky, which is hilarious considering that I don’t like anything scary! I don’t like going to haunted houses, and I won’t watch scary movies. Guess this is how I make up for it! I took some of these pictures last night … Continue reading This is Halloween
I love so many things about Fall! One of them is the Honeycrisp apple harvest! These apples are generally larger than most apples. I’ve seen them in the grocery store as big as a pugs head! Honeycrisps are sweet, crisp, and juicy…perfect for caramel apples or for baking, and you can only find them in the Fall! We have a fabulous Farmer’s Market here and … Continue reading Super Easy Apple Crisp!
I have been waiting so long to see the glorious splendor that is Fall in the East! We still have not hit our peak down here in the valley, but the mountains were peaking during the rainy 5 days we had. And Shenandoah National Park was peaking while it was closed from the Government Shutdown. This was the first weekend it was open, and we … Continue reading Autumn In Shenandoah NP {a photo blog}
