Will Travel With Food
So I mentioned in my last post that Benzo and I went away to a cabin last weekend. It was kind of a secluded cabin close to a lake that had a full kitchen. Which meant that we would be making all of our food since there were no restaurants nearby. Not that we wanted… Continue reading Will Travel With Food

Grilled PB&B
What do you get when you put bread, butter, bananas and peanut butter together with a skillet? Grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich of course! I came home from work last night and could not decide on dinner. Benzo was gone so I was on my own. While I was thinking I ate a whole bunch… Continue reading Grilled PB&B

I had bought the baguette at least a week ago (if not more than that) with the intention of making brushetta. Well the brushetta never materialized and the baguette sat on my counter. And sat. And… Continue reading Trash to Treasure

Usefulness of Ice Cube Trays
Two blogs I read this week talked about making green juice and freezing it into ice cubes to use later in smoothies and such. The first one I read was The Domestic Vegan and the second one was No Meat Athlete.

Dog Days (Nights) of Summer
Wow is it hot. Look what my car thermometer said on the way home: That does not count the heat index either! Because of the heat our dogs have been on a reverse schedule. They stay outside all night and inside all day. Gotta watch out for your pets when the heat is on like… Continue reading Dog Days (Nights) of Summer
