Quickie Quiche

Posted on April 29, 2016 by judilyn

Once upon a time, back in the late 90’s and early 00’s, there were several RV’ing chat lists . . . and I think I must have belonged to all of them. One of the frequent posters was Jim Foreman, … Continue reading →

Strawberries and Fizz

Posted on April 28, 2016 by judilyn

About a month ago we were overrun with strawberries, so I cut up and froze up about six baskets of them with some date sugar.  When thawed, juice collects, but it is pretty thick.  Enter fizzy water … mixed with … Continue reading →

Faces

Posted on April 26, 2016 by judilyn

At the cancer clinic today, I noticed the display of ladies’ wigs and decided to try out the FACES feature of my iPhone.  It did an admirable job, tossing tiny little squares all over the place, and they all landed … Continue reading →

Homemade Rice-A-Roni with Steamed Cabbage and Heavy Veggie Sauce

Posted on April 21, 2016 by judilyn

Not sure why I don’t make it more often, but the homemade Rice-A-Roni shown above is one of my favorite side dishes. It looks so plain, but oh, boy, is it ever flavorful! The boxed version is disproportionately expensive, full … Continue reading →

Two Coyotes

Posted on April 18, 2016 by judilyn

There is a time of day in the late afternoon when our backyard turns a rosegold color. It is very pretty, but as seen here, it makes for peculiar-looking photos. These fine fellows seem to have shown up in front … Continue reading →

Steampunk Roses

Posted on April 14, 2016 by judilyn

I picked some blossoms off the rose tree today to make a bouquet for neighbors. Of course I couldn’t resist taking a picture before they came to claim it. The plain photo just screamed out for me to make it … Continue reading →

Mix ’em up Salad

Posted on April 12, 2016 by judilyn

No tortellinis in this salad! Just field greens, Swiss cheese, tomatoes, strawberries and tangerine sections. After the photo, I drizzled on a bit of the Sesame Ginger Coleslaw dressing that I am finding many uses for, and gobbled it down. … Continue reading →

Red, White, and Green

Posted on April 11, 2016 by judilyn

   This is one of the meals that I made with the Rana raviolis. The greenery is collards, and the somewhat sharp taste of them went surprisingly well with the richness of the meat pasta sauce.

The End of the Rana

Posted on April 8, 2016 by judilyn

This was far more delicious than it appears, and it is the last seven little tortellinis from a package of refrigerated prepared pastas. Yeah, I know – not something I usually get. But it had a special magic aura about … Continue reading →

The Second Soup

Posted on April 6, 2016 by judilyn

   The second round looked like this. The addition this time was some leftover broccoli – probably an amount equal to one vegetable serving for one of us. Mind you, we eat LARGE servings of vegetables as sides, so this … Continue reading →

The First Soup

Posted on April 2, 2016 by judilyn

I finally got to cutting up the ham into meal-sized chunks and getting them into the freezer. This left the bone ready to boil, so I stuck it into the Crock-Pot and let it simmer until this afternoon at lunch … Continue reading →
