Summer is a time for grilling! However, I wanted steak and the grillmaster is at work, so I improvised on my RV stove. I had a skirt steak I bought from my local beef farmer and I was hungry for a plate of beef and vegetables. This is the first time I’ve tried this since …

I am back to school today. I am substituting in the summer program! I am usually out of the state for the month of June so I have not taught summer school in years. I have heard many great things about the summer program and how it is a great way to earn some extra …
Eating Paleo and going through a few rounds of Whole 30 for a few years have firmly slapped my behind in the “believer” seat. I have had my best fat loss and smallest-sized clothing while on Paleo and have had consecutive months when I couldn’t be any happier in my own skin. I love the …
Since we did not travel this summer and with the heat already setting in, we have managed to break our 3-movies-a-year habit. We have already seen 3 movies this year and it’s only June. We both love to watch movies, but with my dependency on Closed Captioning at home and his restless watching mode, we …
When a tropical storm sends torrential rain for 4 days, guess what is NOT getting done? Home construction. The vinyl guys can’t work. The drywall guys can’t do their stuff until the insulation guys spray between the walls and they can’t do that until all the vinyl is out of the garage and finished on …
Sausage, cheddar, cream cheese, and jalapenos. That sounds very similar to one of my favorite appetizers, doesn’t it? While Alabama football is still a few weeks away, I needed a change to my standby scrambled eggs with either bacon or sausage. I was feeling fancy and had the time to get all the ingredients and …
I registered for the Rock’n’Roll Virginia Beach half marathon last week! And this time, I’m actually going to stick to a plan and possibly continue the plan into a full marathon in December. Now that I’m signed up, I decided to stick to the tried-and-true Hal Higdon plan. His training plans have guided me to …
Summer is definitely here! I know the actual summer solstice is a few day away, but around here, the weather dictates our definition of “summer”. With the increasing variety of our produce, I think we are well on our way to a great summer in Alabama. I haven’t been back to Pepper Place in a …
Laying low and eating some really good burgers. Every now and then, I want gooey beef and cheese burgers. I had some broccoli that needed roasting but it’s June and I refuse to turn on the RV oven. I threw this in a pan with butter. It’s not crispy roasted broccoli, but it worked …
After another night of not sleeping well, I met Stephen for breakfast before early church services. He worked night shift and our usual meeting place is Jack’s. The coffee is good and they make a smoked sausage breakfast that works wonders in waking me up. This plate of sausage and cheese eggs is my usual …
I only have 1 thing on my list this week. Tuscaloosa County Sheriff’s Department. They are my favorite people this week. My subaru and his truck were broken into last night. The sad fact is, we didn’t realize it until around 9am. The reason our doors were not locked is because we never really “went …
