Valentines Day!

I made a jar of hearts for Bob. I found a heart shape  online and printed them out on pink paper.  Cutting them out was relaxing! I love easy crafts!
 And on each one , I wrote something I Love about him.  I could have gone on and on but I ran out of room in the jar!  I hope he will like it!

Another supper for a cold Friday!

  Last night I pulled out a Cream of Potato soup from the freezer.  It was a good night for that. Then we also make tuna melts-  We had not had them in a long time. We put them in the broiler and they were done in seconds!   We had a few whole wheat pretzels   to go with it!

  For desert we had  some chocolate chip cookies- !

Dinner - last night- Chicken Fingers & Cauilfower

  We had a simple but good dinner last night. Bob took two huge chicken breasts. He cut them in half and then into tenders. They were breaded in egg wash and bread crumbs  which had seasonings and parmesan cheese.  Before  going into the oven, they had a sprinkle of paprika   tossed over them.

      I made oven roasted cauliflower to go along side them in the oven.  I first put aluminum foil on a sheet pan and sprayed with pan. Then I dumped the cauliflower  on the pan , drizzled with olive oil and massaged them with my hands so that  they were covered . Then I sprinkled on Mrs . Dash . I also added a few chunks of garlic.

  They both went into a  400 degree oven. After about 20 minutes I turned it down to 375. It roasted for another 10 minutes or so and then was done.  We had some coleslaw and  potato salad  along with it and decided it was a tasty easy meal!

Easy Supper!

One night last week ,I made a chicken in the crock pot. It was almost 5 lbs so there were left overs.  Last night I took the gravy, cut up the veggies, and a few frozen veggies and cut up  some of the chicken. I tossed it all in a pie plate and cover it with a pie crust. In about 35 minutes  in the oven at 400 , the crust was golden brown, and the inside was bubbling. With some applesauce, we had a great dinner!  ( And there is enough for me to take for a lunch this week!)

  Bob said I should have taken a photo but I did not! On Well!

Book Review - Come Rain or Come Shine

Come Rain or Come Shine/ Jan Karon was totally worth the time . It is the story of Dooley and Lace's   getting ready for their wedding and how they wanted it- at Meadowgate with their closest friends and family.
 It seems like this would be a great new series for Jan and with lots of interesting  new characters interspaced along with the old.  If you have not read this one yet , my advice is beg, buy ,or borrow it and read it.  Like all of the others of Jan's books this one will be uplifting .  You will get to the end and want to keep on reading to see what happends next!

Winter is here !

So very cold for the last few days-  finally feels like winter. I got out my winter sweaters just the other day. The menu last night was stuffed shells, salad, and bread. No photo- tasted so good ! We ate it all up.

  I just started reading  Come Rain or Come Shine / Jan Karon. So very I am enjoying it as I have all her other books. I will do a review when I am finished.    I got a new computer light that I am trying out ,  and will make a comment about  also in the near future.

Pioneer Woman Cookies

I got the new Pioneer Woman Cook Book out this year and I am loving it! I also got some of her dishes for my birthday and Christmas! ( will show them later! ) I made the slice and bake cookies in the back and they came out really good- the sugar cookies are excelletnt .

 I did not go out and buy the colored sugar . I made my own . Here is what I did- I took some regualr sugar and dropped several drops of food coloring in the  sugar, then I mixed with a spoon,. After that I put the cover on the container and shook it really hard! It worked- !!
