Chicken with Cranberry Blueberry Sauce

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

What do you do when you have some extra blueberry and cranberries that need to be used up? Well, I decided to create a raw sauce for our pan grilled skinless, boneless chicken breasts. After eating it, both D and I decided that it would also taste great on ice cream, so we used some of the leftover sauce on some homemade vanilla blender ice cream later that evening. Yum! These are all rough ingredients as a great deal will depend on your desired sweetness/tartness. I just put together what I needed to use up. Ingredients: 1/2 cup blueberries 3…

A Watermelon Summer

Posted in Family, and Photography

It’s almost July, and pretty much all of the farmer’s markets and roadside stands have been closed for some time. You see when most of the country is enjoying the bountiful harvest of the warm summer months, our area of the country shuts down due to the scorching arid desert heat of the summer. Yet, there is one thing that can still be seen for sale on the roadside – watermelon. Watermelon and summer seem to go hand in hand no matter where in the continental U.S. you live. I can remember back when Munchkin was just little. We were…

Thankful for Closed Doors

Posted in Christian Life, and Family

When I was younger, closed doors were more than a little frustrating. In fact, they could be, at times, just plain irritating. No, no… I’m not talking about physical closed doors, but rather those opportunities, dreams, plans, hopes that get shut down for whatever reason. You think you’re headed in one direction and the door slams in your face and leaves you feeling a bit lost and puzzled. Yep, those type of closed doors. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that those closed doors are often blessings in disguise. Oh, it may not seem like it at the time, but…

Mexican Sirloin Tips 3 Ways

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

I just love it when you can make one main item and use it for multiple meals just by adding some different sides. In the case of these organic sirloin steaks, I sliced them up thin and made the meat stretch. We were able to use them for 3 different meals. The sirloin tips were such a huge hit that Munchkin asked to have them again rather than having steak for father’s day. Ingredients: 1 steak per person (more if you need extra left-overs) sea salt (I use a sea salt grinder) pepper (I use a pepper grinder) cumin Directions:…
