Life is tough and then you fight thru the crap

OK i ADMIT THAT LIFE HAS BEEN TOUGH.

So what is girl to do when she starts to get all the thoughts in her head. . .  restart her blog and put them into words.  Who knows what i will chat about but so far I am working my way thru a pinterest board of eating and crafts.

So lets start with a menu plan to keep me on track for eating.  i seem to be on a Mexican kick right now.

Cheeseburger casserole
taco casserole
German mac & cheese - a celebration to my heritage (which is cheese spaetzel)

I need to look again i need like a crockpot meal something I can fix and heat while I am at cardiac rehab.  Since most recipes leave a great deal of leftovers this is all i will plan to get started.

Again thank you for coming back and I look forward to reading your comments,

Sad days

The past few days I have been very sad.  Thursday Oct 3 would have been my anniversary - 4 years. That leads to thinking and missing Greg.

Apples Apples and more apples

New product Jif Whips

I recently saw a commercial for Jif Whips.  A supposedly light peanut butter.  And being a confirmed peanut butter fiend I had to try it.  $3.59 with no coupon, 11 grams of fat; 2 being saturated fat, 60 milligrams of salt and 11 grams of carbs.

Ok not the best thing in the world to eat but oh so yummy.  I choose the peanut butter and chocolate. When I purchased it it was "healthier" than the Nutella.

I will look for coupons but will buy it again without.

Thank you for reading, Laura

Home clean up

So now I am back home and the clean up had started.  First have to get out all the cobwebs. Of course the first room I went into was the former man cave and smack right into a cobweb.  Eww gross!!!All cleaned up. Eww!!  Because you know I can't see them.

Then outside on the patio, messsy but not to awful bad.  My baby brother cleaned that up, Thank you Rob.

In the garden were some plants that apparently sprouted after last years garden; 2 tomatoe plants (with baby cherry ones) some collard greens and a bunch of cat poo. (darn stray cats). And a tree full of apples :)

Working on getting everything cleaned up and reorganized.  My neighbor is planning on tilling the garden for me once the tomatoes are all done.  And the plans for 2014 garden are milling around in my head.

So I am back home

Life has begun.  Not quite sure how to go one without Greg but I have survived the past week alone here. The house is so quite with no one to help make any noise.  And I do get to watch whatever TV I want whenever I want like this morning at 5:30 am.

And since my freezer took a break a few months ago, I have an empty freezer to fill back up.  But I am not really shopping. with all the canned goods I have no need to shop.   And since my meals tend to end up lasting for 3 days - really no need to cook. 

I did do some cooking at my parents house and found out something (the hard way). I do not care for beer can chicken.  But I do have a few other recipes to try out.

Back home

I've moved back home.  I'll start posting in the next couple of days.
