Food. Food. Food.

Dear Peeps,

Happy Sunday!

I am still iced/snowed in. I suspect the main roads would be clear but I won't attempt the drive to get to a major road. In the meantime, I am most thankful for good food, electricity and Internet.

These are red potatoes. They come in a ready-to-cook bag. I microwave and then fry slices in olive oil. Can anyone say YUM? I love foods that don't go through the microwave but this method turns out a delicious side dish!

Then there was steak...

and salad.

Again, I am so thankful for food. I have tried not to over eat during this snowy ice storm! I made more cornbread muffins, only this time I crumbled cooked bacon into the mix. This morning I had one of those muffins with cream cheese. Oh my!

In cat news, I asked my dear friend Jason if I could share some recent pictures of his Amelia. He said to ask Amelia. She said yes. In fact, she was thrilled.

She is quite the show-off in front of the camera. She says she is going into meowdeling. We will see about that! I don't think she has asked Jason.

I feel a bit stir crazy so I am going to try my hand at the craft desk. Will be sure and share pictures if there is anything to show.

Enjoy this day.

Cheesy Egg and Bacon Cups

Dear Friends,

I think we are perfecting this recipe! The first time it was excellent. The second time it seemed even better.

Cheesy Eggs and Bacon Cups

The bacon is cooked before it goes into the baking cups. The first time we followed the recipe 100%, but the second time we let the pan sit in the oven, with the oven turned off, for about five minutes before we served. The eggs were still runny but the whites were a little more done. That is fried polenta on the side. Yum!

I have to do better about staying gluten free. I have been cheating mightily and I have itchy patches above both elbows. Not good. I know better, but I do it anyway. I guess you know what my New Year's resolution will be! Honestly, it is just so hard to avoid it!

On another front, I have been scanning more old photos. Check out this great old photo at the piano. I wonder if she was singing. Or just standing there talking. We will never know, I guess. And nothing written on the back.

Must run now. Preparing for a new week. So thankful for a new day! I hope everyone is doing well!

Enjoy this day.
