By popular request… Gruyere stuffed beef & mushroom meatballs…
I’ve had quite a few days of feeling “off”, I’m sure its a matter of frustration with the State of Indiana – after being on unemployment since January, I was “selected” for an audit of my claim, it took a month of non-payment for unemployment audit to finally get settled (I did all I was […]

Layered Meatloaf… who knew would be such a hit. The story behind the ever evolving meatloaf recipes (I have dozens…) is when Mike and I first moved in together, I made dinner one night… meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some vegetable (I don’t remember now… probably green beans), as we sat down Mike informs me that […]

Not a lot to report today but know that this is a relatively easy meal. Simple ingredients and steps. Mind you the pasta is definitely an acquired taste… if you aren’t a mustard fan, skip it and serve with whatever makes your belly happy! Meatball Ingredients: 1 lb ground chicken 3-4 mushrooms chopped finely (I […]

Continue readingDefinitely MONDAY!
I spent much of the afternoon trying … and I do mean trying… to reorganize my home office… it hasn’t really been used since I stopped working from home and… as you can imagine… it became the dumping ground for a lot of stuff. Oh well, this seems to be a good change in its […]
Continue readingHey All! Whew… What a couple of weeks…
Things have been crazy. First just before Christmas, I get sick, my job was ending and I was miserable already… unfortunately, I was unable to work during the final week and missed getting to say good bye and good luck to the kids. 🙁 Then just as I’m recovering, my poor husband ends up with […]
