Daily Recipe Find – Roasted Sweet Potato with Chickpeas, Goat Cheese and Coriander
Since Thanksgiving is around the corner, you may have a few extra sweet potatoes around to make a treat. I love goat cheese, if you don’t, then give another light cheese a try, even cream cheese would probably work in this. Enjoy!

Daily Recipe Find – First Snow of the Season Means Chili and Cornbread
No matter how not ready I think I am for the first snow of the season, it still is a beautiful sight.
My tradition on our first snow is always a big pot of chili in the crock pot and a batch of cornbread.
I add smoked paprika and cheddar cheese to the cornbread.
The chili is topped with the crumbled cornbread, cheddar cheese, onions and my greek yogurt.
Welcome to Winter.
Recipe Here – Better Homes and Gardens Chili,
to this recipe I add a packet of mild chili seasoning mix.

Daily Recipe Find – Skillet Basil Cream Chicken
Skillet meals are generally on the easy and quick scale, this looks really good. And yes, I admit I had to look up what boursin cheese was, it is a soft creamy cheese similar to cream cheese. And yes, I suppose that could be a big hint for me, yes I will be using cream cheese for this since that is what I have in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Supermoon 2016
I love taking pictures, and I love a challenge to capture an event that may only happen once in my lifetime. I have spent many times waiting and waiting, total focus and preparation, and have succeeded in capturing some pretty good pictures and had fun in the process.
Sadly or maybe thankfully this was not one of those times. I was excited to get pictures, although got sidetracked with family matters, and cooking dinner. Looked out the kitchen window and oh…oh…oh…. hurry, get the camera, change out the lens, get the tripod and set up.

So, for all the times of preparation, and all the times of panic to get my camera together,
it is a fun process and I love seeing what I can capture..

Sushi Sunday – One Year Anniversary
So here we are at Sushi Sunday!
My mom and I and many other friends have had fun during the past year for Sushi Sunday. Some were familiar with sushi and loving it. Others, new to it all and not knowing what to try. Some options even have SPAM. Ok, so for some that may make it worse for you. Even if you are not a sushi fan, stick with me… the end will have a good mix of photo’s for you.

Daily Recipe Find – 10 Tasty “freezer dump” Crock Pot Recipes
Having an easy dinner ready to go into the crock pot is a great thing, especially if it is dump and go ready. Sadly as much as I say how good this idea is I haven’t done this yet. The most I have done is a crock pot full of chicken, then I shredded it and froze it. These recipes are even easier because the prep work is done before freezing. It will take some time chopping and putting the ingredients together, although looking through the recipes, there are several common ingredients.
It can also be intimidating or not budget friendly to buy enough food for many different meals all in one grocery trip. These recipes are helpful using canned goods, fresh veggies, and meats. So you could easily spread out the ingredients list into different shopping trips, then put them all together when ready. Also, since you will be freezing it anyway as you buy meats slice, prep and freeze to be ready to be put into the big bag for the whole meal.
Recipe Here: 10 Tasty “freezer dump” recipes for the crock pot
I did a quick list of the main items on these ten recipes. I am really going to try to make ahead a variety of different meals to get out of the same old…same old meals. I am putting the list on a recipe box to make grocery shopping easier for me. Hopefully it will help you too. I didn’t include spices, or final ingredients of stock, noodles ect. so please refer to the recipe link above for full info. Enjoy!
