Where nature, people, and life meet
Did your husband ever say, “This is not at all how my mom made it?” Mine hasn’t for the most part. There was one recipe however that even I said tasted SO much better when my mother-in-law made it. Try as I might, I could never get the recipe to turn out. The texture was […]
Ever feel like the walls are closing in? Yeah, me too. It has to do with me being able to walk into a room and see the floors that need to be swept and vaccumed, the windows cleaned, the ceilings cleared of spider webs, the shelves cleared off, hot spots taken under control, plants watered […]
Above you see one of the meals that I regularly freeze when making. That is, meatloaf. This came about earlier in our marriage when it was just the two of us. Someone gave us a mini-loaf pan. I think it was meant for breads, but I figured out that it is pretty good for meatloaf too. A regular loaf […]

It has been a few weeks since I posted goals. There is a reason for that. I just haven’t done much gardening. Not sure what I did with my times, but it must have been something because we are all still wearing clothes, eating, sleeping in made beds, and the kitchen counter is relatively clean. […]
In the upcoming weeks I will be mentioning freezer meals when posting my weekly menu plans. I thought I would give you an idea of what that looks like for me. Everyone does it a bit different, to suit their own needs and family. That is as it should be. Some people do this as […]
I like order. Or rather, I like to have a plan. However, it isn’t always achieved. It took me only 7 years to figure out that not only do I like to have a menu plan, but also the best way for me to do so. Well, the best way at this phase of life. The […]
This is one of my favorite categories of freezer cooking. Yes, it makes it easier on suppers when I have a meatloaf or soup already put together, which only needs to be reheated or placed in the oven. However, freshly baked cookies not only make the house smell great, but are a great surprise for an […]
