Sunday night I had a craving for sweet potato fries. So I made a version of my own. I thinly sliced one sweet potato, sprayed the tops with a bit of olive oil, sprinkled them with salt, pepper and some garlic powder and baked them at 400 degrees. Within 15 minutes I had sweet potato …

Simple Sunday
After the errands are run, the apartment is cleaned and the mind is prepared for the coming week, it's time for a simple Sunday dinner. Last night I made some really easy chicken and threw together a salad. After cleaning a few thin chicken breasts I sprayed them lightly with olive oil and sprinkled oregano, …

Check Up
As new kitty parents we did the responsible thing yesterday and got her a full check up. She was not super fond of leaving her new home, but she did great at the vet and everyone loved her! She is a healthy kitty with a bit of a tire around her middle that we need …

It has been just over two weeks since my hip accident and this weekend I finally felt like a "normal" human being again. I have been spending a majority of my days on my couch trying to find a comfortable position and using my computer to connect to the outside world. Each day I am getting …
