I'm Back...finally!
What a crazy couple of months. Yes, I dropped off the face of the earth for a while but hopefully I am back.
My plan to cook and show my recipes became so overwhelming I could not keep it up.
So here is the skinny on why everything came to a screeching halt. My son, the Navy Lt., as of March 31 is no longer on active duty and blessed us by coming home with his young family. I am so happy to have my 2 California born grand babies in Texas to bond with and get them turned into proper Texans! Luckily, they are young enough they never even need to know they ever lived any where but the great state of Texas! That being said, I AM EXHAUSTED! I realize why more everyday why God makes it possible for young people to have children. My NingXia Red and my En-R-Gee Essential Oil have been REALLY come in handy to give me that extra energy boost I need! Come join me in my oily journey!

1.5.2016 - Sausage
So truly this dinner was nothing to write home about. One of our sons came home from a 3 month trip to Australia and there was just not time to prepare a huge meal. The trick was just getting a meal cooked before he passed out from jet lag.
Seriously, Johnsonville Italian Hot Sausage is what we ate along with Bush's baked beans.
It's a short post but I'm trying to keep this up so give me credit for being able to write a post everyday.

1.4.2016 - Calzone
So...last night's meal was really so very easy! My Italian husband, loves Calzone! Needless to say, it can be expensive to order out and since I am on a quest to NOT eat out and save money I went looking for a recipe. I don't even know why I needed a recipe, it was so easy! I found the recipe on the Pillsbury website but didn't really do it the same way they did. I pretty much modified it for me.
Here Goes...
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
All you need is a pizza crust, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and whatever you want in your Calzone. My Hubs prefers pepperoni and mushroom.
Basically roll out your pizza crust on a cookie sheet. I lined mine with foil to make clean-up easier. Put pizza sauce on half of the crust and add cheese and whatever other toppings you want to add. Fold over the crust on top of the sauce and toppings and pinch edges together.
Cook for 30-35 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown.
This is what it looks like out of the oven.
And a picture of the inside.
It was REALLY good! And the best part is, Hubs said he liked it and I should definitely make it again!
Success!!

1.3.2016 - Chicken Soup
It has been cold here, colder than I like. When it gets cold that means it's time for chicken soup.
My Italian husband's family have made this soup since long before I came into the family. My kids wait for the cold every year because they know it will be time for chicken soup. This recipe is very simple but give yourself 2-3 hours to complete.
Here are the ingredients:
1 whole chicken (make sure you remove the inerds)
1 lb. bag of carrots
2 bunches of celery
1 medium onion
salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot boil and salt water. When water is boiling drop in the whole chicken, let cook for about 45 minutes (depending on size of chicken).
While the chicken is cooking, chop celery, carrots and onions. Set aside until chicken is done.
Remove chicken from pot.
Let your chicken cool for a few minutes as to not burn your fingers.
Add vegetables to pot and debone your chicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
Cook until vegis are cooked.
OK. Now, here comes the Italian part!
Boil a pan of water for your Pastina. What is Pastina, you ask? As my nephew calls it, the little pasta balls.
That is basically, exactly what it is. Boil some water and add the amount of Pastina you want to go in your soup. ( I always cook too much, leftovers!)
This is what I usually buy but you can use just about any kind of pasta. Elbow, shells anything small will work.
You can usually find these in the Italian section of the grocery store. There are also some similar ones in the Mexican section.
This much soup makes enough to feed probably 8 people with maybe some leftovers. It really all depends on the size pot you use and how big a chicken and how many vegis you put in also. It is really up to you.
I have put meatballs in my soup before also. It takes a bit longer when you do this but it really is good. I won't put the recipe for meatballs in on this post but if you decide to add them they should only be the size of large marbles.
I hope you enjoy this soup as much as my family does. Good Luck!

1.2.2016- Purging
I didn't post yesterday because I was so exhausted from the sheer task of cleaning and throwing out things I have either not used EVER or not used in forever! I really concentrated on one area, the bar. It seems to be our "catch all" in this house! You wouldn't think such a small area would take all day but, trust me when I tell you, it did.
And I'm still not completely done. But even with all that we did not go out to dinner! It was no gourmet meal but it was a home cooked meal just the same. The hubs had steak and I baked myself a chicken breast and we ate leftover Bush's baked beans from New Years Eve. Again, not gourmet, not 4-seasons worthy, but home cooked just the same.
Thats about it for today, the sinus gremlins are pounding away in my head today! Thank goodness for my Young Living Essential oils! They are a life saver when the gremlins move in! If you have any questions about oils click on the Young Living tab at the top of the home page and learn more. You can also find my email info there and send me a email and I will answer any questions you have.
Happy Sunday!
Tomorrow's post will be better! Promise!
