White Chocolate Toffee Popcorn
I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day! We (myself, Thomas, Jake, and Maggie) worked around the house, played in the yard, and cooked on the grill. This Memorial Day was one of the most relaxing for us. We drank our coffee and had breakfast out on the patio while watching Jake and Maggie play in the yard. As we enjoyed our morning, we decided to extend it right into lunch and then dinner! Our patio is all set up and our lounge chairs were put to good use. The weather was absolutely...

Protecting Your Pup’s Paws On Hot Pavement
Have you ever wondered what the anatomy of a dog’s paw is? I have and according to AKC, a dog’s paw is made up of skin, bone, tendons, ligaments, blood supply, and connective tissue. That doesn’t sound all that different from our anatomy and for that, we have to be extra cautious in walking our dogs on hot pavement. Summer is here and we are antsy to get out with our pups but always be careful. Think before you go out. If it is too hot for us humans, it is way too hot for our pets. I...
Is Parsley Good For Dogs?
I’ve been talking about starting my own (in-house) herb garden for a while now and I finally did it! Honestly, I was nervous but I have no idea why because there is nothing to it but buying your containers, purchasing your desired herb packets and following the directions. I just had to pick the perfect spot for my herbs to grow and a place that gets lots of light. Our mudroom is the perfect spot. Although my budding herb garden takes up my laundry folding space, they get lots of light and...

Happy Wednesday everyone!!! I have to apologize for not getting a post out on Monday! Thomas and I were binge watching Orange Is The New Black all weekend and before I knew it, it was 1:00 am Monday morning! Has anyone watched this show? It ran 7 seasons but when it aired, my first thought was that I wasn’t sure how I would connect with the characters and chose not to get into the hype of it. But let me tell you, I love this show! It is based on real life experiences from someone who spent 13...

One Meatball Recipe Cooked Two Different Ways
Are you looking for something rich and savory and easy to make? You have come to the right place. I have several meatball recipes but use only one tried and true for my homemade wedding soup.

I made a huge pot of soup last week and saved a 1/2 pound of ground meat for the recipes I wanted to try for Thomas to taste test. I made...
