The remainder of the floors on the main level have been installed! We went with a laminate hardwood. They are still growing on us. I think we were so excited about the kitchen and this just didn’t match up. We are getting everything dusted off today so its looking better. View into the foyer from…

Chex Mix
Okay, I know you want to ask me, “Why didn’t you just go to the store and buy a bag of Chex Mix.” Believe I have in the past, but the older I get the more sensitive I seem to be to salt and that stuff they have in the store is salty. I was…
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
This was a great addition to my Sunday dinner menu. I scanned this recipe and knew I would love it, plus I already had all of the ingredients or a substitute for the ingredients so it fit right into my Savings Challenge (I talked about that here). I had this with white rice had frozen…
Broccoli Salad
We usually watch CBS46 Atlanta in the mornings while getting ready for work. Before Mother’s Day, one of the female anchorwomen had her mom come onto the show to show off her recipes. I was found this broccoli salad interesting and wanted to try it. I made some changes to the original recipe to utilize…
New Range: Check!
Our new range was delivered today. What a great way to start the morning (besides church). I finally decided on the conventional oven over the convection so that I could keep the capacity that I wanted. As you see we have moved to a flat top and Mr. G enjoys the thought of the warming…
Kitchen and Powder Room Floors Installed: Check!
Things are moving along quickly now! We had the new floors in the kitchen and powder room installed on Friday. Here are before pictures from the kitchen: Here is the new kitchen floor: The powder room has the same tile. The remainder of the main floor will be completed on Monday.
R.I.P.
What a tragic couple of days….Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and now Micheal Jackson. I remember memorizing the entire dance scenes of “Thriller” and “Remember the Time” (and I still remember it!). I bump “P.Y.T.” and “Smooth Criminal” on my ipod while I’m jogging. On our honeymoon, we went to a Micheal Jackson revue. This group…
Salmon Hash and Grits Bowl
I have a confession to make…this is not what I had set out to cook. The plan was to make salmon cakes and cheese grits. The grits were not a problem, it was the salmon cakes. I had opened the can of salmon, picked out most of the bones (my personal preference), and chopped up…
Red Velvet Cake Balls
These tasty treats are quite popular in the food blog world, and I’ve been waiting for the perfect time to try them out. I found the recipe on Bakerella’s website that I stalk, I mean view, on a regularly basis. I remember showing them to my mom and sister and they asked, “So when are…
Smothered Pork Chops
I haven’t cooked a major Sunday dinner in weeks so I thought that today would be they day. Since we haven’t gotten someone to come and fix the air conditioning downstairs yet, I got up early (5:30!) to not only bake, but also to cook dinner. This Sunday’s dinner also went along with my Savings…
