So for Mother’s Day we decided to do a barbecue at my parent’s house. We had pork steaks, spinach salad, corn on the cob & potato salad. The potato salad was my job & I wanted to try something different. I bought some super yummy fingerling potatoes from Costco – they have gold & purple … More Challenge #3 Loaded Baked Potato Salad
I made myself some Jorts via Made This, Love This. I wanted some with really big cuffs & I like the way they came out, but I might redo them with a rougher look too. We’ll see. I’m wearing tights from Forever 21, I adore the color. However, I am having trouble figuring out my … More Lavender Legs
I was in full-on Spring mode when I got dressed yesterday. Not long after I took my outfit photos, I added leggings – too cold for bare legs! I did have a lady in Costco tell me that I had the best shoes EVER! That’s always nice to hear. I almost didn’t ever try these … More So Yesterday Wasn't as Warm as I Thought It Would Be

…to head outdoors & into the garden. Hard to believe since we had snow last week, but that’s Central Oregon for you. Last year I planted my garden mid-June & still lost everything & had to start over! Arg! It was an incredibly odd year for gardening even by Central Oregon standards. For me, gardening … More Tis the Season…
I’m celebrating with that quintessential Mexican classic, “Pride & Prejudice”. Ha! We are having a Mexican feast this evening. Quesadillas & Nachos, maybe we’ll watch Nacho Libre – you never know.

Ok, so you know how when you’re in school, you wonder if you’ll ever need those math & algebra skills & you think, “probably not.” Well, you’re wrong! Or maybe it’s just simple logic or common sense. I could have used all of the above this evening when I was cooking dinner. I was so … More Challenge #3 Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry
I saw this photo on Pinterest. I saw it about a week ago & I just haven’t been able to get it out of my head. It’s true. I really do have everything I need. And yet, I seem to have this compulsion to get more & more. I use shopping as therapy – I … More I Have Everything I Need
So I saw these rolls on Pinterest & I had to try them. They looked so good & so easy. I tried them last night & I really liked them. I did some of them buffalo chicken style & some of them I used left over bacon cheeseburger filling from Jude’s party (that’s another post). Fixed … More Challenge #3 Buffalo Chicken Rolls
