Homemade air fried beef taquitos are yummy and satisfying with a secret ingredient – potatoes! The taquitos are hearty enough for dinner or whimsical enough to serve as appetizers. Using an air fryer cuts down on the oil needed. It’s just enough to make the tortillas crunchy and firm. My sister gifted me with a […]
This week seemed like equal time in the kitchen and outdoors. I can tell you what I prefer. Zero time in the kitchen. But. Darn it, I like to eat. Nothing earth shattering to report, but here is how we spent our early March week. Bringing a little outdoors into my kitchen, Traders has daffodils! […]
Well, hello, March and welcome. I think most people are happy to see you. Even if you dumped two to seven feet of snow in Tahoe over last weekend. We forgive you, look forward to more sunshine and say, “Welcome, March.” Stay awhile, won’t you? I have been enjoying the extra light in the morning […]

Nothing in particular, but here are a few things this February to chat about. Outdoor activities I know everyone is not as keen as we are here to get out and enjoy the mild weather. But we have been hiking, walking, eating and even playing cards outside. I treated myself to a breakfast burrito at […]
How long has it been since we have done any shopping on this blog? Awhile? A week? I lose track of time, you know. But it has occurred to me that there are some purchases that are so valuable, I use them constantly. These six things just make my day better. Six things that I […]
The horrible hungries have attacked me this week and I’ve let my sweet tooth control me. Enough! Energy Bites to the rescue. Making my own sweet treat with healthy and real ingredients helps me tame the evil in my diet and get me back on track. It’s been quite a while since I used my […]
Help! I need some advice, please. It’s a long, convoluted story, so refill your cup o’ joe, sit back and give a girl a hand here. On the list of things we want to do this year is spiff up our bedroom and better use the vast wasteland of square footage there. A new sitting […]
