{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

CABBAGE AND SAUSAGE SOUP



I love all kinds of soup and I love soup all year round. 

WHAT TO MAKE WITH THESE BABY CABBAGE?


First let me say that I am not one to give very good cooking directions. Half the time I don't measure anything...I am quick to make up my own recipe...and well, I just do it! 

I diced up my little baby cabbage (out of my garden)

 
Depends on how much soup you want to make to how much of everything you use. I make a big pot because we love leftovers!

I had an onion and some carrot chips! Gave them a spin in the chopper. (carrot chips are easier to chop)
Next I gathered up the spices I like to cook with. You use whatever you like.  


A little overview of what I used. Of course salt and pepper. Decided to use just a tad of onion powder since I was using a whole onion already. A hint of garlic. Good sprinkle of lemon pepper. A good shake of crushed red pepper (my bunch likes things with a kick to it) A good shake of Mediterranean Herb seasoning and a generous shake of Natures seasoning in which my pantry is never out of! Love this seasoning! I would normally use chicken broth for my stock base but didn't have any! However I did have some Chicken broth cubes so just made my own broth. 

Had a little bacon and you gotta have a little fat in your soup to make it good! 

Well, maybe a lot of bacon! Hee-hee!

Tossed about 6 cubes in some water and added my seasonings. When that came to a boil I added my carrots, onions and bacon.
While that was cooking some I diced up my sausage. I love to use Nettles but decided to use deer meat that we had made into sausage. 

 Oh mercy the aroma of all those spices was soooo good! You want to smell?


When the carrots and onions began to become a little tender I tossed in the sausage (which was smoked). Cooked a few minutes and then added the cabbage.

Gave it a quick stir and let it cook till cabbage was tender. 

I did manage to let it sit for just a little while to savor all those flavors before grabbing me a bowl full. 

Now this is what I am talking about! Good, filling, and plenty for leftovers! 

A little hint....it's better with a hunk of corn bread!!!!

Hugs and blessings,
Cindy

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...

{March Is Underway}

  Welcome to March! The little grands and I kicked off March with a sleepover at Nana's house. They are so much fun and so energetic. COFFEE has earned my love forever for sure! LOL!  We started out with a sack lunch from Burger King (their favorite) and headed to a cute little park that is only about 2 miles from where I live. The girls has so much fun. The girls put in for Nana to ride the horsey. Well, y'all know I had to show those littles that Nana still can do that!!! Two of the girls wanted to play with the old Halloween wigs but the youngest one opted out. She said it made her head itch. LOL!  We had a tea party for breakfast. Our tea party consisted of smoked sausage, peaches and chocolate chip cookies. Yummy to my tummy the youngest one said! I finally got around to making myself a healthy fruity Icee. I made the girls snow cones out of the same healthy fruits. Guess I needed too so they wouldn't be so hyped up from all the cookies when returning home. Hee-hee!...

{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...
