Feathering an Empty Nest
Thanks to Therapedic for providing the products reviewed in this post. All opinions expressed in this post are 100% my own. #Therapedic #RoomRefresh #HomeRefresh My twin teens both started their first year of college at the end of August. (One is at Smith College, and another is at Bryn Mawr College.) It's an exciting time for them, but a hard time for their mom! I miss my kids. I've always been close with my teens. They went to high school remote for half of their high school junior year and all of their senior year, so we spent even more time together. It's been an adjustment for me now Continue reading...
Braised Chicken with Beer and Mushrooms
This post includes Amazon affiliate links. Today my blogging friends and I are getting together for the Taste Creations blog hop. My blogging friends and I get together once a month to share recipes that include a common ingredient. This month's common ingredient is mushrooms. I decided to make an easy and delicious one-pot recipe — braised chicken thighs with beer and mushroom sauce. For this recipe, I used one of the most handy pots in my kitchen — a Dutch oven. A Dutch oven is a deep, heavy-duty pot with a lid. It's a versatile pot — it can be used stovetop or in the oven. I have Continue reading...

Roasted Beet, Herbed Cheese & Avocado Sandwich
My family and I traveled to Annapolis, Md., last month. While we were there, we discovered Eastport Kitchen, which was near our AirBNB rental in Eastport. My teens and I ordered the Daisy Sandwich, which has roasted beets, hardboiled egg, arugula, pickled onion, avocado, and an herbed cheese spread on toasted multigrain bread. We like the sandwich so much that we ordered it twice! Once we got home I decided to make my own version of it. I think I've come pretty close. We love this delicious sandwich! The sandwich contains no meat and has fresh vegetables, so it fits with the semi vegetarian Continue reading...

This post contains Amazon affiliate links. These links cost you nothing, but may earn a small commission that helps run this blog. Thanks! I used to be intimated by grilling.

In the summer, grilling is a great way to spend more time outdoors with the added plus of keeping the kitchen clean. I recently got a Tranmix Wireless Remote Digital Thermometer, which makes grilling easier and even more enjoyable. I recently cleaned and readied my grill for summer Continue reading...
How to Become an Urban Homesteader
Thanks to Park Seed for this guest post. Over time, technology and modern conveniences have become essential in our lives. We can place orders with 2-day shipping, take virtual tours and even have watches that can measure our blood oxygen levels. (How cool!) While it’s awesome to have these conveniences at our fingertips, it feels good to be self-sufficient and do something on our own. It's rewarding to work with our own hands, without the help of computers or video tutorials. Many looking for a more self-sufficient lifestyle are embracing the idea of homesteading. People Continue reading...
