Believe it or not we actually didn't watch any of the game this year. Just had no interest.<br /><br />I roasted a whole chicken in my electric pressure cooker for supper tonight and served it with Stove Top stuffing and green beans. Took the remaining chicken off the bones and split that into several lunches along with the leftover green beans and rounded out the lunch containers with some chicken flavored rice. Then I dumped the chicken carcass back in the pressure cooker, added 1/2 an onion, bay leaves and a couple of carrots and cooked up a batch of broth. So golden and yummy looking! I can't wait to use it in my recipes.<br /><br />I just finished another book and am glad to finally have time to read again. If you haven't already signed up, you should try bookbub.com.

Visits with Mama sounds so good. Oh how I miss my own Mama. <br />I too am doing Spring Cleaning-just getting down the kitchen though. I'm very slow at it. One slow step at a time. we are scheduled to get snow tonight through Thursday so I think I will have plenty of time to get something done! <br /><br />Have a great night<br />VickieVickie @Vickie's Kitchen and Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402367232977896594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-85032594458801087162016-02-08T07:55:42.266-05:002016-02-08T07:55:42.266-05:00We had three meals at home on Sunday!

We pulled out items to get rid of while we emptied cabinets and more is going while we are putting back. We are also trying to organize better. I must make menus today. I hate winging it. Turkey and dressing sounds good and I still have packages of turkey, dressing and gravy in my freezer from Thanksgiving so that will go on the menu, too.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-85390773767459817442016-02-07T19:56:23.808-05:002016-02-07T19:56:23.808-05:00Terri, I am interested in the info you gave that w...Terri, I am interested in the info you gave that we need grains, to keep from affecting our kidneys. It seems to be the thing these days, for diabetics to eat no grains, just maybe carbs like sweet potatoes, legumes, that have fiber. Can you tell me where I might could read more about this?

As we speak, Jeff and my FIL are staining a books left that should hold most all our books and once that is finished, I can get some places back to normal. <br />Your weeks plans always inspire me and if I lived close to you, I'd come join you reading those vintage magazines. <br /><br />Belated birthday wishes to you my friend.

I finally tackled my closet yesterday. It is silly of me to keep stuff I cannot wear or won't wear that I know is NEEDED at a women's shelter. I then tackled the kitchen, not much but some. Next is the craft tote. I think most is going. I'm just not into it like I used to be. It feels so good to get rid of the excess and I know for sure it will all be used at the shelter. <br /><br />I can see how going from 80 degrees to 30 could be very chilly! We are coming from lower teens to 30/40 and it feels good. I went for a mile walk outside on Saturday. It felt wonderful to be out in the fresh air! Enjoy your pretty daffs. I've planted but underground critters get hungry and they must think bulbs make a fine and dandy snack.

I too am organizing /cleaning out closets and making my donate piles..It makes a mess but so worth while. I plan on doing my closets this week.. whew!!<br /><br />Enchiladas sound so good. And I love dishes that I can make extras for the freezer, so nice to have the extra meals on those busy days..<br /><br />ps Sarah, I use the wal mart brand of Splenda.. Works just as good to me, Can't tell the difference from the real Splenda.Sew Blessed Maw [Judy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474519379303505290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-54703918492548227542016-02-07T14:42:07.988-05:002016-02-07T14:42:07.988-05:00I look at all the too many books I have.

I am trying to picture this room how I want it to be always and that helps. The extra books etc have to go!! I decided to not renew one magazine I subscribe to. It was a hard decision. Till I cull the many I have here I don't need to bring in more.<br />Hubby got hurt and we had to cancel the diabetic classes. We rescheduled for next month. Thank you for the new information and encouragement. We have switched from white rice to barley and use brown rice other times. Whole wheat noodles surprised us this time. We tried them years ago and they never would get soft at all. These were great. An easy switch.<br />My daffodils and paper whites and violets are blooming. So are some shrubs. All too soon it will be time to plant vegetables again. I better get to working out there too. :)<br />I haven't made enchiladas for a long time. Thank you for the idea. I went through my recipe box and fond several things we love but I haven't prepared for ages. One was a bandanna bread using 3/4 whole wheat flour. Has anyone tried the store brands of Splenda? I see Walmart and others have a knock off. Sarah<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
