My Daily Travels

I had plans to make bacon cheeseburgers today, but the chill in the air has made me rethink dinner. I have a 20-pound bag of potatoes, onions, garlic, celery, evaporated milk, butter, and half & half, so I am now making a large pot of potato soup. It will go well with some crackers and a Hallmark... Sign in to see full entry.

It's a brand new week, so I have to come up with some meal ideas for our dinners this week. On Mondays, we usually have some sort of meat included in our evening meal, and then I pack the leftovers in John's lunch for the next day. I was leaning towards a chef's salad, but John was craving a hoagie.... Sign in to see full entry.
