Oh baby it's cold outside and with windgust in the 30ish made it even worst. But thanks to my son, Josh, he gave me a dozen tulips yesterday. They are beautiful and brighten the otherwise dreary day. Made me think of Spring!!!!

Ahh..I have an idea. To make it really feel like Spring, why don't we whip up a chicken salad for lunch? Come join with me and I'll show you how to make one. I have to tell you though, I don't follow any recipe with this. I just put together what I have available. Let's start...

Two cooked chicken breast, cubed. I sprinkle a little salt to the boiling water when I cook them;
2-3 stalks celery, sliced;
A handful of grapes, halved;
About a cup mayo;
A handful of pecans;
2 tbsp. Yellow mustard;
Dash of salt;
Dash of black pepper

Combine everything in a bowl. Adjust the salt to your taste. Enjoy!

I love to pair it with Ritz crackers o r the wheat thins.

Decorating my living room on a budget. Here's one idea. I found the wood frame at Owl's Nest and added some family pictures framed on thrift store picture frames. The two framed botanicals are also thrift store finds. I love the result and I hope you do too.

Hello everyone. It's been a long time since you last heard from me on this page. We moved to the Philippines and lived there for a good 3 years to be near my aging momma. When she passed in April 2017, we decided it's time to move back to the States. Mike missed the two boys a lot. So here we are. Back.in.the.States!

I will be posting recipes, photos and hopefully how-to-videos on this page soon. As of today, post Thanksgiving day, I will share what we had for breakfast this morning....

We had a lot of pears that I am the only one eating and I can't eat all of them by myself, so Mike made a pear jelly (sugar-free) which turns out to taste like apple sauce. And we still have lots of pears left. So this morning I washed some of them, dried in paper towel and sliced them. I melted 1/4 stick of butter in an iron skillet and added the sliced pears. I then added two tablespoons of brown sugar and a double shake of cinnamon powder. Stirred it occasionally until the sugar and the juices from the pears are caramelized. Remove it from heat and transfer to a bowl.

In another skillet, I drizzled two tablespoons olive oil and sauteed chopped tomatoes then I added some cubed leftover ham from yesterday's Thanksgiving dinner, stirred them until completely heated through and added 6 scrambled eggs. Voila! Ham and egg omelet...with freshly chopped cilantro. Toast/omelet/fried pear with caramel is what we had for breakfast. Very filling. Try it!

Today is the perfect day to make amends - it's Kiss and Make Up Day! Question is, what is the best way of saying sorry?
