{Hello friends}

  Hoping this finds my sister bloggers doing well on this windy Sunday afternoon. Yep, we've got a little wind howling around here and a tad cool but I am enjoying a lazy afternoon. My Sunday lunch crowd (my family) have left for the day so I am kicked back. Sunday menu today consisted of: Chicken and dressing Giblet gravy Italian green beans with ham Mac & Cheese Homemade chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting and chocolate ganache.  Yep, they are little spoiled at Nana's house. I am not a huge fan of cakes with icing but it must have been good as one of the grands had two slices.  These gals and I have been friends for more years than I remember and since we've all retired within a few months apart in retirement and age (dating back to 4th grade in school) we try to get together once every 4-6 weeks. We always do something extra for our birthdays but was a tad late celebrating mine this year together due to other appointments that was a must. We always have a gr...

Chicken Bow Tie Salad

Easy, Quick & Good!
3 Boneless Chicken Breast
1 Can of Small green peas
1 Box of Bow-tie Pasta
Mayo
EVVO
Salt & Pepper
Lemon Pepper
Italian Seasoning
Papirika

Dice your chicken up into pieces (cuts much better when partially frozen) Add salt, pepper, lemon pepper and a tad of Italian seasoning to chicken. Sprinkle just enough Extra Virgin Olive Oil onto chicken to coat well. Saute in your frying pan till done. In the mean time make your pasta according to the directions on the box. (*Remember, to keep your pasta from sticking add just a few drops of olive oil and a pinch of salt*) Drain your green peas. 
Mix your chicken, pasta and peas together and add mayo to taste. *I use Hellmann's* Yes it is pricey but it is the best mayo out there! Pour in your bowl and top with a little Paprika. The good thing about this dish is it good served warm or cold.
The little plastic cutting board was a freebie from Pampered Chef! I love it! It is so good for small jobs. 


 
Love my Electric Skillet!



I must say that I am not a fan of little green peas! But for some crazy reason I like them in a salad! Yep, I am weird like that!

My favorite Mayo! Debbie Norman got me hooked on Hellmann's!
Ain't that Bow-Tie Pasta just the cutest! Yep, you do see some germX on the counter! If you could see the other side of the sink you would see some antibacterial hand soap as well! I never handle meat of any kind, especially chicken without a washup! And NO I am not weird about that sort of stuff just SMART!

Hiding the Ugly Hot Water Heater

 I shared that I wanted to hide my ugly hot water heater in my laundry room with you a few weeks ago. It just stuck out like a sore thumb. But after all it is a hot water heater right? So my man took a piece of wood (not real wood) but it worked and built a frame for me. So now to see if it would fit and it did. I painted it white and did not like the texture it had even after two coats of white. (rule of thumb...you get what you pay for and the wood was cheap) But I wasn't going to let it whip me!  Found some contact paper at Walmart in the gray and white. Covered the front with the contact paper and loved the look. The top was covered with a piece of painted wood as well and worked perfect to place this on top... And this.... Added a clothes basket in the corner and here was the top.... Yep, no longer an eye sore to me! Went perfect with my gray walls and gray and white floor. Remember the wood tray I bought at a...

{SON-Flowers}

Don't you just love sunflowers? When I think about sunflowers I think of two things. My motherinlove who loved sunflowers and Fall. I came across a devotional written by Julia Bettencourt on sunflowers and thought it so appropriate for today as I wanted to share my sunflowers with you. Here's a few lessons we can learn from the sunflower.    Sunflowers Track The Sun.   Most plants are attracted to light but the flowering head of the sunflower actually tracks the sun following it's path and moving toward where it is in the sky all during the day. I read somewhere that sunflowers track the sun when they are in bud stage. Isn't that how it usually goes for us as Christians? When we first come to know the Lord, we get excited about knowing all about Him and living for Him, but after awhile we sometimes grow a little preoccupied with other things and get our eyes off of the Lord.   Wouldn't it be great if as a Christian we'd track th...

{It's Been A Hot Minute Y'all}

  Well, it's not HOT in my neck of the woods in temperature (not today anyway) but it's sure been a HOT minute since I last posted. For that I am so sorry but it seems my life has been consumed with doctor appointments, tests, and MORE tests, biopsies, surgery and so much more. One day at a time sweet Jesus is all that any of us can ask for. Wanted to pop in on this beautiful Sunday afternoon to share a little about what I've been up too.  Marty and I enjoyed a weekend at the beach before I had breast cancer surgery and took advantage of the time I had in between so many doctor appointments and testing. It was sure a good little getaway.  We celebrated our 47th wedding anniversary in September. WOW! Just babies! LOL! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at age 16. Married at age 18 and started a family at age 20.  We celebrated Marty's birthday in October. He says that he's feeling his age these days. LOL! He still works 4 days a week and has a long commu...
