Since I mentioned tater-tot casserole the other day, I figured I might as well provide the recipe for it just in case anyone wanted to give it a try. While I’d never say it’s a particularly healthy meal, this is a family-pleaser that’s quick and easy to prepare and little ones love to help put the tater-tots on top!
Cooking for five with an eye to ensuring that there will be enough for lunches the next day, I tend to use a large lasagna pan when I make this, but it’s easy enough to cut the ingredients in half and use... Continue Reading »

While I have always had strong beliefs and have often been outspoken about those beliefs, under normal circumstances I would not post those views, or any other political commentary on my humble writing blog. I never intended this to be a political platform and, while my beliefs are strong, holding those beliefs and expressing them publicly has, over the last several years, become increasingly dangerous to my husband’s livelihood as those beliefs have become marginalized as both standing at odds with corporate interests and being anti-American. Under normal circumstances I would, as many of those who believe as I do... Continue Reading »

With National Novel Writing Month coming up in November and me racing to slap together an outline, a character, or even just a lowly idea for my entry I figured it was high time to reacquaint myself will all of my writing software. With that in mind, there seems to be no better way to renew those old friendships than by sharing them with all of you (well, in all honesty, the one stranger who drops by every now and then and the three or four spammers a month who want to sell me their WordPress SEO services).
I’ve spent numerous... Continue Reading »

Pharmacists do more than put pills in a bottle.
As a pharmacist’s wife, I hate the notion of fast-food pharmacy; you know what I mean, the idea that all a pharmacist does is stick pills in a bottle. Despite the fact that way too many pharmacies now have a drive-thru window doesn’t make them McDonalds people!
If the pharmacist makes a mistake you don’t just get a Big Mac instead of McNuggets, you could be dead! And there is usually more on the staffs mind than how many pickles go on a Fillet-O-Fish, there are phones ringing, faxes coming in, facts and... Continue Reading »

What my oldest son calls “boot food” (goulash sounds like galoshes) is a family pleasing meal that’s quick and easy to prepare, relatively healthy, and inexpensive. It takes an average of about 45 minutes from start to finish and has no problem feeding 10 people for right around $2.00 a serving. I’m not talking about those skimpy little ADA recommended servings either!
I make a pretty good sized batch so there will be plenty extra for my husband’s lunches and I can freeze half of it for an emergency dinner later on. In general, with a family of... Continue Reading »

Would you, could you believe that a clothesline could save you loads of work and give you more time for the hundreds of more important things that you want to do, like finding the perfect paint for your bathroom, drool over a new coffee maker, or even (dare I say it) blog.... all while making you feel like a better person? Well, believe it Sam I am! See how replacing our dead Whirlpool gas dryer with a "newfangled" solar and wind powered dryer helps us save time, money and maybe even the world.... Continue Reading

Yesterday, while on my daily visit to Arlee Bird’s blog, Tossing It Out, I came across a link to Nate Wilson’s blog, Sometimes, The Wheel Is On Fire, where he is holding a nifty little writing contest. In a nutshell, all you have to do is write something that includes all 26 letters of the alphabet in order and post it as a comment on the contest’s page.
If your entry doesn’t break any rules, and he likes it, you could win a spiffy prize. If you’re interested, which I was of course, head over here to get the complete lowdown... Continue Reading »
Worth Following
About a year ago I was posting some of my writing over on HubPages where I met a great writer that, while I’m not there anymore, I still follow and love to read. Check him out.
I recently found this wonderful site and was instantly hooked! As a stay-at-home wife and mother of three distinctly different kids, seven birds and two very old dogs Amy’s practical, humorous and faithful outlook on family life is just my cup of tea (well coffee anyway).
