Receiving an order of cleaning supplies makes me happy? Crazy, I know. But. When the Grove order comes, there’s a sweet handwritten note on the outside of the box. And that’s just the beginning. Here are the highlights from my spring Grove order. I don’t use enough cleaning supplies to order monthly from Grove, so […]
A classic recipe modified with gluten-free flour and bread crumbs and using a jar of Kirkland Tuscany Marinara sauce made an easy gluten-free chicken parmesan “linner.” Using an aluminum foil baking dish made clean up easy too! One of my favs, Natasha’s Kitchen has a video and recipe for Classic Chicken Parmesan with a homemade […]
Probably 8 times out of 10, hub orders a French Dip sandwich if it’s on the menu of any restaurant. Any place, any time. He loves it. So when I came across a recipe for Easy French Dip Sliders, we had to try them. Are you a fan of YouTube like I am? One of […]
Just when you thought you’d heard every stick vacuum review I could possibly write, I hit you with another one. We bought the Shark Pet Plus Cordless Stick Vacuum and here is my honest review.

Well, here’s the big news around here. I’m retiring. By which I mean I’m retiring again. I tried this three years ago and my retirement lasted seven months. But. This time, I think I’m ready. And. We’re hitting the road. For a month. Yep. We’re loading up John’s Big Red and heading out. I’ll have […]
“Simple” is my holiday mantra and enjoying holiday potpourri is about as simple as you can get and still satisfy the senses. A tiny crockpot means the stove doesn’t even have to go on and I can set it and forget it. Remember the dried orange slices I made a couple of weeks ago? I […]
