Blogging from my heart in Boise, Idaho & Realtor® Fathom Realty
I have writers block, so instead of forcing myself to write something, here are a few pictures of what I have been doing thanks to my garden harvest and farmers market finds! Peaches from a friends backyard, made peach bars. I had strawberry sauce in my freezer so strawberry bars were in order. Next was... Continue Reading →
Posting a recipe from last year, to the day! I found a recipe online that was for vegan meatballs that seemed good but too much work. I cannot fathom being vegan because I love cheese too much. Sorry! So, I recrafted the ingredients, adding some, deleting some and changing things altogether. I am going to... Continue Reading →
My tomato plants have been pulled and what was green has slowly ripened for one last pot of marinara sauce. I made a pot of it last week and froze it, then vacuum sealed it to take with me for another trip to Southern California. I'm going to help my sister pack her house and wish her well for...

I have to admit, I LOVE lemon anything. I tried this dressing last weekend with miso. Don't get me wrong, it was delicious. However, I felt making the taste simple would just be a better result. I was right, once again. Insert smile here 🙂 Oh, and I make enough to last a week or... Continue Reading →
Some days, I just have to have a bowl of fresh pasta. I know, the gluten thing. I'm here to tell you that King Arthur or Bob's Red Mill are the best hands down, but if you are going to have to use a gluten free flour, I highly recommend Manini's. I have made so... Continue Reading →
My friend, Barbi, inspired me to make a gorgonzola sauce for gnocchi, her favourite dish. And delicious it was! What a pity she was out of town. {insert smirk} And, please forgive this picture; my gnocchi wanted to be saucy that night. Or would that have been sassy? At any rate, I wanted to make...

I sort of follow recipes and yet not at all. I just cannot add certain ingredients that cause concern for me. Why that? Why not this? But, I must admit, I enjoy more of a savory taste than a sweet taste. Gimme some spice in that dish! I can turn down chocolate any day but... Continue Reading →
Seriously, I caught myself doing that heavy sigh too much Sunday. Took a beautiful power walk on the greenbelt along the river early. Sigh. Got my act together to show up to church rather than stream the service like I usually do. Sigh. Went to the grocery store to get a few things for a... Continue Reading →
No kidding, my Friday last week started out in disaster mode. When Zeke & I walk the greenbelt route, we head over to Veteran’s Memorial State Park and Friday was one of those days. The trails back in the trees along Veteran’s Pond are beautiful, except for the part when I got bit by a... Continue Reading →
