Scrappy Appliqued Needle Book, Monday Music, Recipe Plans from Canadian Needle Nana

I've had to crack a window in the living area this morning. This at the risk of letting in the below freezing air outside that put frost on my pumpkin this morning. 

But the air inside seemed a little smokey when I came in from my walk certainly in contrast to all the brisk freshness outside. I enjoy everything about my morning ritual of starting the fire in the fireplace stove.

 I also enjoy picking up sticks on my walks, ones just right for stage two of layering up the perfect fire. This is about the only thing I ...

Three Meals-One Ham, Granny Stripe Afghan and Applique Needlebook from Canadian Needle Nana

 Hello again, we are finishing off another busy week. I like to take care of maintenance things- for the car, the house and us, before winter sets in and weather and driving becomes an issue. We both were out of the house every day which seems to make the time fly by extra fast. It always feels good to have checkups behind us.

As a result of all that I didn't get in any daytime stitching, but my nights are still my stitching in front of the tv time.

A few more rows have been crocheted onto my Granny ...

What I’m Making: A Tik Tok Recipe from Jo's Country Junction

I don’t use the app TikTok. Well, that’s not completely accurate. If my adult kiddos send me something, I will look at or watch it but I don’t seek anything out on my own and don’t even have the app. Recently my son Buck sent me a really good, healthy, and super easy-to-make recipe. I …

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I was trying to compile a different cookie post and realized I haven't shared this favorite. I don't know where I found this one - I just have a note on my recipe card that says 2006. It's not from a friend or I would have noted that so it's probably from Taste of Home.We've got a farrier / friend coming by today to shoe a few horses so he gets these today. Least I can do is treat him to cookies

Loaded Butterscotch Toffee Pecan Cookies from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I found this recipe online a few years ago HERE and it became an instant favorite. I bake a lot of cookies around here. When you're on the go, portable snacks come in handy and even though we live 25 miles from town (in fact this is the closest we've lived to town since we married in 1987), seems like a lot of folks end up at the end of the dirt road.

Canadian Thanksgiving Food, Easy Hexagon Table Runner from Canadian Needle Nana

Welcome to another post where I share more of the tiny bits that make up my days.

 I was delighted to capture these two juvenile robins taking a bath...perhaps their very  first, in our little pond. First week in October


It was our Canadian Thanksgiving on October 9 and we had the family here for the large meal. All my pots got used at some point in the process. I cooked a turkey, of course, and made mashed potatoes, oven baked sweet potato slices. buttered cabbage, mashed turnip with a little butter and brown sugar, and carrots. Standard Thanksgiving ...

What Kelli is Making: Taco Pasta Salad from Jo's Country Junction

Kelli had a family get-together not too long ago and had to make a dish to share. Kelli and I both love salads but don’t make them that often at home because we end up being the only people who are eating them. The problem is that so many salads get mushy or don’t last …

What Kelli is Making: Gingerbread Cake Balls from Jo's Country Junction

Turkey Chili from Quarter-Inch Capers

I haven’t posted a recipe in a while! This is not traditional Texas-style chili, but it’s good! I had a package of HEB turkey chili in the freezer that I decided I needed to use, so I thawed it out with no clue what I was going to do with it. I had canned tomatoes, and a yellow bell pepper I wanted to use, so I decided on chili.



The best part? It’s low fat and weight watcher friendly. I calculated it to be about 3 points for a fairly generous serving. Maybe even lower considering the ...

Taco Pizza from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I only had 4 extras to feed the other day so I poured some chips into a bowl, made salsa, guacamole, queso, and this Taco Pizza. I've made this for us before, but never for a crew. They went back for seconds and still had room for apple pie and ice cream for dessert before they rolled back out the door. I guess pizza is always a hit and this is a fun variation on traditional pizza. I made 2

Raspberry Streusel Muffins from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

I haven't been doing a lot of baking lately. In fact, truth be told, I haven't been doing ANY baking lately. It's been over 100° every single day, for months now and  heating up the kitchen has been at the top of my daily not-to-do list. We've grilled and smoked A LOT. I did make Buckaroo Bundles when we had company, but that was an exception. But on Saturday, at 5 a.m., I caved. I made these

What Kelli is Making: Dump and Bake Manicotti from Jo's Country Junction

The other day I was sitting at the computer and Kelli sent me a reel for Dump and Bake Manicotti. It looked interesting. I am going to try to link it HERE. It’s a quick reel that shows how the gal made the recipe. I was excited about the recipe. It looked so easy with… Read More »What Kelli is Making: Dump and Bake Manicotti

Mexican Fried Zucchini from Jo's Country Junction

My zucchini plants are very busy. Try as I might to hand them out to unsuspecting soles, I still have an abundance. I’ve been eating zucchini most days for quite some time now. There just comes a time that a person had to become creative and come up with other ways to eat it rather… Read More »Mexican Fried Zucchini

All That from From the Strawberry Patch...

Hi, it's me, Augie. I'm growing up fast, I'll be ten months old on Sunday. I'm having good success in Mom Training classes, she thinks that she's the one in charge and that she's training me but we all know who's the boss. She and Dad are still very busy in the kitchen every day. He with getting the cabinetry all fitted and Mom with trying out the new appliances and testing new (to her) recipes;

Instant Pot Mac and Cheese from Jo's Country Junction

Our family has a message group on Messenger. We use it a lot. We send goofy pictures of the kids, and dogs, and videos of them too. We write about something we’re getting rid of offering to anyone who wants it. We write about workplace woes, happy news, and just about everything else. Recently there… Read More »Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
