It’s almost like there’s a cow in my backyard – only not.

As I have mentioned many times before, my family and I have lived in 7 different states. If you count the first 3 months of our marriage when we lived in Colorado for the summer while waiting for my husband's job in Illinois to start in the fall, this is our 3rd stint in Colorado …

Saturday Stirrings ~ Savannah Cheesecake Cookies

Cheesecake is my all-time favorite dessert.  I seriously considered having a cheesecake wedding cake, but it was slightly cost-prohibitive.

Saturday Stirrings ~ Perdue Oven Ready Chicken Roaster

This week at Saturday Stirrings, I am not sharing a recipe, but sharing a great find I made at the grocery store recently. My family and I love roast chicken with mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans and the works. The problem is I am not very good at making roast chicken. They either come out …

Saturday Stirrings ~ Vegetable Soup

Early in February, I started back at Weight Watchers and in spite of two birthdays and Valentine's Day, I have lost just over five pounds.  This recipe has been a tremendous help - it is filling, healthy and is a great way to get in the recommended 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day.  …
