Look out she has a plan!

Just a quick note to tell you to STAY TUNED on Wednesday December 7!
I'm beginning my "eat well" plan and learning to braise a chuck roast at the same time.

The beef is coming from a farm.
And the recipe is coming from Pioneer Woman.
The klutz, however, will be all mine.

Time to break out the dutch oven!

Stay tuned.............

V.

P.S.
Going to extend this to tomorrow. I had zero time this week to do anything requiring 3 hours of cooking. But, tomorrow, I may have that slot.

 8:00am  A grey-haired lady walks by the big Living room window that sits by my Work from Home desk, which reminds me to take the dog for a walk and that I have a haircut appointment this afternoon. I'm eating half of a whole wheat raisin bagel, a bit burnt on the one end, while my coffee pot does it's thing and the dishwasher runs last night's dishes. My daughter is asleep on the couch and my husband is working in his chair in the Family room.  Already my phone is buzzing in my jeans pocket. My neck to shoulder muscle on my right side aches from "doing too much". It's become my M.O. lately, doing too much. Sword class last night involved a lot of swinging, going from one cut to another and not always the easy path.  And yet what's on my mind again, is always on my mind, is the 35 extra pounds I carry. It was 20 yesterday, but thanks to Facebook, I realized I looked my best 12 years ago, when I got my black belt in karate, and I know I weighed about 145 th...

Apple Butter Snickerdoodles from Saved Recipes - Sept 17, 2022

Image
Baking Day!  I've been thinking of actually trying the saved recipes from my Facebook page and blogging them here.  I think it would be an interesting experiment to see if things turn out as well as they look. Maybe I'll tackle some Pinterest recipes too - if I can figure out how to actually get to their recipes...I swear it just takes you down a rabbit hole with some of them! A few days ago I ran across a Apple Butter Snickerdoodles  recipe. It's a completely FALL thing to make and I'm looking forward to eating it! The recipe is soft so it requires you chill before baking, which is a pain because my fridge is pretty stocked on Saturdays, but I made some room. The dough tastes tangy and a bit cinnamony which is really wonderful. I hope the cookie is just as good baked.  I'm watching the Witcher while I make them, wondering to myself if the monsters they have in this show are made up for the show or if Im just not well versed in monsters? Anyway, the first batch ...

Passionfruit White Chocolate cupcakes

 First, I'd like to say condolences to the Powell family. The real Julie (from Julie and Julia movie) passed away recently, which got me thinking of blogging again. She was the one who inspired me to blog about food to be honest. I'm planning to sit down with my daughter soon and watch the movie again.  This is the story of the Passionfruit White Chocolate cupcakes:  I like a challenge.  In the beginning, I had ordered a bunch of passionfruits from Imperfect Foods. I tend to just buy things and then figure it out later. But sometimes I dont have time to figure things out and end up with these weird fruits and vegetables that dont really go with anything.  This one, I happened to be making a pomegranate lemon cupcake and had posted it on Facebook. Seeing that, my friend April had mentioned wanting a good White Chocolate passionfruit cake recipe since I think she found a place that makes them and she wanted me to help. I had ordered some passion fruit so this...
