Beer Braised Bratwurst Sandwich
Happy Friday everyone! For all the Bratwurst lovers out there, I made this Beer Braised Bratwurst Sandwich for you! I first found this recipe on Better Homes and Gardens but veered off of it pretty quickly as soon as the onions hit the pan! There are so many ways you can make bratwurst from grilling them to sautéing over a stove. These are great as an appetizer, a sandwich, over a plate of pasta, or for breakfast. With a few simple ingredients, you can make enough for dinner and leftovers...
Strawberry Pretzel Pie
This recipe is a re-post from last year's July 4th party and when we were fighting the Japanese Beetles! Things have not changed as we are still fighting them! But on a positive note, they aren't as bad as last year. I reduced the number of plants they loved by replacing them with boxwoods so they only have 3 rose bushes to feed on. Every day I'm going out with a bowl of Dawn dish soap and cutters to catch what I can! I'm winning :-). I wanted to include this pretzel pie in my desserts...
Lemon Buttercream Icing
Happy Wednesday everyone! I’ve been wanting to share this Lemon Buttercream Icing recipe with you for some time now. Our godson turned 1 in April and although he had his birthday party, I wanted to do something for him at our house. I had been craving some lemony sweetness and found this recipe on Homemade In The Kitchen. I ordered a special birthday cake from Gus’s Goodies but thought these Lemon Buttercream Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Icing were a nice addition. I chose turquoise...
Beef Quesadillas
Happy Monday everyone! It’s Taco time! Well, it’s Beef Quesadilla time with loads of cumin, cilantro, and my secret ingredient! Read below to find out what it is. When you don’t have any salsa, you get creative and create your own. I had vegetables that were going to go bad and it was a choice of making spaghetti sauce or salsa for our quesadilla. We haven’t had Mexican since forever, so I chose to make a Mexican meal that curbed our cheese cravings! Yes, I used loads of cheese which...
2021 Floral Landscape (Part 2)
Happy Wednesday everyone!! Today is the second part of my 2021 Floral Landscape design along with some helpful information I’ve learned along the way. Normally I plant and then wait a year to blog about it since perennials and shrubs take awhile to bloom and spread out but this year I couldn’t wait. Our goal was to finish our shed and start on the landscape around the shed (more to see next year) which we accomplished but I’ve had a few people ask me about deer resistant plants. In this...
2021 Floral Landscape
This is a re-post from last year but with spring here, it has me thinking of different ways of planting this year. I thought I'd put this post out again for those of you who are looking for planting ideas especially if you want a colorful yard and links to where I purchased my plants and flowers. My goal was to bring in the hummingbirds and butterflies and I'm proud to say I made it happen! We had the most adorable baby hummingbird and it's momma last year and many different butterflies. I...
How To Treat Dog Lice
Happy Wednesday everyone! As promised, today’s post is a continuation of Monday’s “What Are Dog Lice?. There was a wealth of information out there about doggie lice and to put it all into one post would have been a lot. I’m hoping my posts can help clear up any questions you have about your pet’s skin issues, itching, behavioral changes, etc. When our pets do not feel good, their personalities can reflect how they feel and if we can’t find the root problem, our pets suffer. Today we are...
What Are Dog Lice?
Happy Monday everyone! It’s funny how conversations can bring up new ideas for blog posts and this one comes from talks about head lice which made me wonder if dogs can get lice? Lice on dogs are not the most common infestation, but it can happen. So what are dog lice, and how did they end up on your dog? I found some great references on https://www.homesalive.ca and https://www.vet.bc.ca/lice.pml and so much that I might continue this post on Wednesday so that I am able to give all the...
Traveling To Charlotte, NC
Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I’ve taken some time off from blogging to take a much needed vacation to Charlotte, NC and to work on getting our house ready for summer! Thomas and I took a relaxing drive to Charlotte, NC to see my childhood friend and enjoyed spending time with her and her family while taking in this beautiful city. We stayed at the Hilton Uptown which is in walking distance of all the major restaurants, parks, bars, and beautiful trees, flowers, and shrubs that line the...
