Positivity

 It's March 2021 already and were all still fighting the war on

COVID 19. In the midst of it all, that little bug is trying to not 

only kick our arses', and put a big damper on hope, faith and the

amazing positivity we all need to function in this world. 

But still a lot of the population around the world is not giving

up this amazing battle so easy. Building a network of vigilant

prayer warriors, drawing closer to their families, making time 

for each other. Learning to cope on another level in this life is

quite the challenge. And yes their are those of us who intend on 

putting on the  armor of God to fight.

Being positive is ever so important. It can a persons who outlook

for their day. This vibe of energy is so strong if you really look 

at it. Positive is good. Positive is helpful. Positive brings light into

a group of sad faces. Positive understands. Positive lifts you up.

Positive is a grand thing to own.  Positive is worth sharing as much

as you can. Positive is definitely a life saver. 

And for those who wish to go the negative way, all negative will

happen. Nothing good happens. It is very sad.

Positive may not save your physical body in a since, but then again

it can. It can save your soul, that which brings you inner peace. 

Is this virus a test? In my opinion yes it . Maybe we all just need to

slow down in this life and see what is really important. See who is 

actually around us. Technology is brain washing us. As with anything 

in life it can be addicting and a big distraction from those who are around

us, even our family members.  

Choose being positive, it will seriously change a lot. God is my main focus

in life He helps me to see the light of positivity and I share that light on 

people where ever I go. So I challenge you t do the same, Share the positives 

in your life, and watch things bloom and grow.

Till the morrow

God Bless 

SPAM it Up

So the American kinda meat for today is the beloved "SPAM" . Of course not a  lot
of people are into spam, but for the most,yes. You either like or you don't.
I dare not say you will ever find this on the well to do table. It is a poor mans
meat. My mom, made us spam burgers when I was younger, because we had
a large family of 12. yep I said 12. Ten  kids and 2 adults.  Needless to say, you
know mom had  to cut curves to stretch out the meal and spam being in the
top 10. Always made it too our table.

 There are many variations on eating this SPAM meat, if you would be brave enough
to call it such. Your can dice it up and put it into just about anything. Potatoes, macaroni
cabbage, or rice. And even a topper for salad.You can bake it, fry it, broil, and boil ( of
course the boiling I would just skip all together) This SPAM is dern near closest to a
bacon I ever tasted! Slice this baby up  and broil it, wow. I am considered a connoisseur
of this delectable treat.
If your a honest to goodness meat eater, then this might not appeal to you, so go ahead
and  feel free too exit stage left now.

 So while I am in the kitchen prepping this bad baby ( which is good) we
are safe to say, it really is not that bad. You can add what ever spices you like
to it, cheese being the number one topper.  It is the simplicity of the meal that
simple reminds me of my mothers hard work she put into making sure her children
were fed, even if it meant the "SPAM" meal. Even if she made it 10 different ways.
She was a clever woman. So as I sit an eat this, I shall have a tear and a smile and
thank my mother for loving me enough to fed me with what ever she could afford.
 May you one day just try this SPAM maybe, and just maybe you
might like it"maybe", Many blessings Till the morrow

Waffles for Dinner

Cauliflower Waffle with Turkey Bacon & Cheese 

 I am sure this has been thought of before.
But it came  to me the morning after I had
made "mock" cauliflower mashed potatoes
last night.
My mamma use to make potato pancakes the
day after, after, so I thought this would be the
same. Except I wish to put these in the waffle
maker I had. BTW time to get a new one.
I did wait till the next night to make these
yummy waffles.
With an added touch of shredded sharp cheddar
cheese, not only inside but some on the top.
A dollop of sour cream and scallions with
some chunky salsa always does the trick.
I had plenty of leftovers too, good thing about
these is you may freeze them. I separate each
one with wax  paper and place individually in
zip lock bags.  Thaw when ready about 20
minutes then pop in toaster or  warm in oven
with tinfoil.


Cauliflower  is such an amazing vegetable. There can be many uses for it today.
Especially for those watching their carbohydrate intake and sugar. Eating healthy
is a great advantage to us. It helps our immune system stay strong. It makes us feel
so much better and have more energy.

In this recipe I used Almond Meal  instead of All purpose. Mamma use to
use AP flour to hold her potatoes together when making her tater pancakes.
Since I had not yet mastered the art of using chick pea juice as an alternative
substitute for eggs I just used farm fresh eggs laid by my friends chickens.
Till the morrow, God bless.

Cauliflower Waffles with Turkey Bacon & Cheese 

2 -Cups  Your left over cauliflower mashed "mock" potatoes
2- Large Brown eggs
1/4-1/2- Cup Ground Flax Meal
1/2 Cup- Shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese
3- slices Cooked Turkey Bacon in pieces
2-  Diced Individual Pieces Scallions
1/4 Cup  Minced Garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions:
Mix all together. If more meal is needed  ( I used 1/4) but you might need
as much as a 1/2 cup.  to bind add a little extra at a time. Measure out in
1/3 measuring cup to buttered waffle iron.
Place mixture in Middle of iron. Press down and cook about 4-5 minutes
continue till all mixture is done.
Top with sour cream and chives and a little salsa too . I like Salsa
PS: this should make about about 5 medium waffles or 3 large waffles.

Southern Hometown Gurl

Hey there again,
So today I decided to give another intro to mwah (me) or self. As it
were, along time a go in a far away land( not really) well unless your
from the UK or farther, then yes. Oh back to the story. Yes I was born.
In a tiny town called West Palm Beach. I was the middle child , I am
number #5 of Ten. Kinda sounds like a movie or something right?
I won't go into great detail now, but i have 6 others sisters and 3 brothers.
And we lived in a 4 bedroom house with both parents. My step father
was a military man so he had all things figured out in reference to the
arrangements on the bed. All bunch beds and those nasty ( i hated ) MC
itchy blankets. Makes me cringe to this day. But they did keep us warm.
House full of kids and Mamma kept us busy with chores.
The thing  I love most about my Mamma was her endless unconditional
love for us and yes her yummy baking. All from scratch. Nothing is
better than your mamma's love in a recipe that she gives you.
So for this reason I have always except in an emergency I make from
scratch cakes, pies, breads. You name it. No so much a fancy cake designer
not into fondant at all, just a nice looking cake with the best taste ever.
Some friends post" i just made this cake and it doesn't look fancy" I say
hell yeah, those are the best kind. Someone might not remember what your
cake looks like BUT they will remember how it tasted.

So today lets just for a southern classic a Pineapple Upside down  Cake

 Of course the original way is to make in a
black iron skillet with lots of brown sugar on
the bottom.
I decided to go Bundt cake style for this instead.
Only because my hands are not so strong. Its good
to fancy it up sometimes.
 This southern gal is def not in the fast lane anymore,
like i never was really LOL. If MPH was a rating on the
human fast lane I guess I was only a  70 mph and now I
am a 45 mph.
Steady sailing.  I also added a twist on this delightful cake
by doing the poke cake method. Then I drizzles pineapple
sauce down the holes, so the juices could permeate the inside
of this cake. Nare a dry spot in this baby. 
I like to eat a cake or food that makes you raise your eyebrows
upon eating and saying OMGEE rolling your eyes this is
(exaggerating) soooooooo gooood.

Needless to say the baking continues in my new apartment. I get orders from those
who share my love of from scratch recipes. Recipes of any kind will always get a thumbs
up if you put the whole effort into making them. Dicing, chopping, sifting, rising, hours
of preparation. A guarantee you will not have any leftovers.

So happy baking to you all and yes i will be back on the morrow Many Blessings

Home Work in PJ's

Are kids so lucky right now?  Being lazy and not getting up
to go to school. No," I missed the bus again" or why do I have
to go to school? Now they get to stay home in their PJ's & sleep
in for a while. All this talk about homework right?
 Well, what I am talking about is a different kind of home work.
The kind that us parents get to do right now , at home in our
own p'j's . We get to work from home. Attend those Zoom meetings
in p'j's &  a dress blazer. Typing away your bosses statistic reports
with a pound of curlers in your hair, while rocking the baby on your
hip cleaning up spilt soup on the floor, seems a whole lot more fun
yes? LOL. Now really, no one knows better than you how life is at
your own house more that you. Just to do the regular home work on
top of your kids own home work, seems quite exasperating.
Being home right now and working to provide for your family is
not relaxing, well unless you by yourself. it might be just a little bit
more relaxing



For the now we can proclaim our title and feel like this pic above, this
is the way to feel because we deserve it yes? We work hard whether we
go to the "actual" work or stay home. Home work whether business work
'or actual work,you have to do around your house. It is still home work.
So go ahead &  work in your jammies, reward yourself for doing a great
job and dern it , give yourself  employee of the month.  You deserve it. 

That Question of Fear

Today in the long list of reading the Face Book notifications I came across
my  friends Andrea's post that said this?

Good question right? I mean logical.  Does that mean right this minute?
or yet does it mean from your past? I guess it really does not matter in
this, because the question is What would you (I) do if you (I) weren't
afraid?
As we all are fighting a common fear right now called the COVD-19
and death, losing our income, how will one survive this lasted challenge
the world has given us? A good question. Over coming would be the "fear"
factor.
Not letting the fear take over us. Claim the victory of fear and claim your
stand in the fight( what ever that would be) to be in control. It is o.k to be
afraid, don't get me wrong. We are human. But to conquer that fear is such
a empowering feeling. We have the ability to control our fears, no matter
what they are. Some are more challenging than others. Some fears we must
take a while to conquer and them some right away. As Barney Fife (from
the Andy Griffith Show)  use to say " nip it in the bud".
And as this question asks. what would I do if I were not afraid?. I think for
myself , definitely would be more confident and brave about things. Heck I
might even go zip lining. Of course being courageous would not evolve into
being overbearing. We can still be cool and collective. Fear is a BIG word.
It is a very much part of our lives. Oh if we could be like little children and
be learning to walk. No fear they just go and when they fall they might cry
for a second because fear scared them , but then up and there they go again
forgetting what had just scared them.
Thank you to my friend who thought of a very inquiring question. Whom I
do hope she will gets lots of answers to her question.Of course for me My
would be the above as I said, but one thing i hate and fear the most is a
ugly spider, heck burn the house down. yep LOL.
So the question my friend Andrea  asked I hope will linger in someones mind to be a bit
more brave. To stand up and try again, and that is all that matters yes?
Not letting fear win. Thank you Andrea for asking  the question & letting our
brains work to think.

CaRona 19- Quarantine

OK so hear is the low down on this CaRona Chick- 19. She does not care who
you are , how old or young. She is a she devil who wants to attack you with all
of her long nails. Rona has been around for quite some time according to all
the history I have been reading, and just like the flu virus( btw  is totally not) it
has different strands. Comes from different breeds of people and or animals
Carona  is named by its shape first of all. Like a crown.  If you think of it as many
rulers wore crowns and they were evil for the most part. Killing many people is
apart of the so called "crowns" of the world fashion.
All this is my opinion so please do not quote me.
Quarantined since the beginning of March 2020. Me being  into the bio-hazard ,
steam punk style with a side of  cyber. Who knew this might be a total world
fashion.
Of course most of the mask are boring, but they are working their way into
the fashion side, With matching head gear and face mask. future realms of
this virus in my opinion is a far cry from over.
 It will go away and leave peoples minds like a faint fart only to reappear
at a later date and maybe even kill more, because people naturally forget
and go on without even  preparing for yet  another calamity.
 I think NOT. this is time that we are being prepped for more to come, OR if
you will a trilogy of COVID-19. Gollum will definitely be talking in the 3rd
person but really to everyone. The "crown" if you will , will be the " precious". 

Times like these are sad  yes, but good also. Many people are realizing (hopefully)
that their family is ever so more important. Maybe they will see that that actually
have a family, maybe talk to each other more, listen and spend the quarantine quality
time doing something as a family. I know that is not true for a lot of folks out their,
but one can hope. This COVID-19 has to be an eyeopener for everyone. Crime has gone
down. smog is lifted, people are smiling more. Why must we always have such drastic
circumstances to strike us all? Even in biblical times  the people would act up, get crazy
and then the Lord has to get out his belt. Ye,s we humble ourselves for a tiny bit like
children do and behave for a while and guess what. We be bad a gain. Lessons are
not learned. Funny how life just repeats it'self over and over. But the one thing is
yes the end is near.
The world is tired of people being in it's belly. It is tired of all the BS, hate, deceit,
murder, pride. That word alone covers mostly everything. Like Gollum this is a constant
battle, will these " precious " attributes of a sinful world take us over? Yes, it will 
because we allow it to. 
So maybe we will get back on track again for a little while. Maybe most of us will wake
up, smell the coffee and make better choices. Listen to the God in heaven when he speaks
and continue to strive to do good instead of evil. Corona 19 has us all by the tails.
We need to stand up and take charge once again over that eveil virus called Satan which
has named this evil virus.
Until then we can look fashionable and pray we will overcome, we will defeat and come off
conqueror.

Good morning all. the sun is shining and breakfast is about 
to be served up in non other than a plain mason jar.
I am not sure if this is a new recipe out their but  it is
pretty new to me.
While visiting my brother , who is health conscious like me
told me about his breakfast called,  Overnight Oats. 
What an amazing little breakfast. I did like the Oat version
of this simple delight.  I am watching my carb intake so I did
find a new recipe using Raw Hemp seeds. Thanks to the 
"Keto Connect" couple,  Megha & Matt Gaedke I will do this
one next. Time to go shopping once again. 
Of course the store I need,  is about 45 minutes away. Tiny town disadvantages. But I can turn this into an excursion day with a friend and lunch to boot.
I would encourage you to check out this couple and the foods
they make.  https://www.ketoconnect.net/
So here is the finished Overnight Oatmeal. Next blog will be
the Raw Hemp Seed replacement over Oatmeal. Taste test of 
course will be done to see which I like better.

PussyWillow Plant?

Good Morning! Well here it is morning.  Spring as finally
made it's wave.  I am sure we all love winter, but now it's 
time for those blooming flowers and , plants and happy critters. 
Of course this NOT your typical plant. Maybe some Catnip
can be grown here.

kitty plant

Sebastian 

 Sebastian seems to like to dirt. Of course what tomcat
wouldn't.  He is always is open for love. Quite a verbal
kitty he is. Yes spring is here and the cats are happy to
baste in the sun more. 
Freedom outside is a cats best friend. Maybe a few flowers
might work as a bed. Of course if I wonder outside to try
and take a picture of that, Sebastian will move quickly to me
to get his love. One can wish for that camera with a great
zoom lens, This would not disturb him, Then on the other
hand if he hears me, well, I am spotted.  
Enjoy your days ahead. Pick lots of beautiful flowers and
enjoy what God has created. Be thankful for the little things
and our pets too , even if they pretend to be a plant.

Till the morrow. Many blessings

Not Rice at All

Quinoa this amazing tasting plant.  I do not know why I had not tried
this before. Couscous is the second runner up in this delightful dish.
This plant is a seed. And so not a grain, which i had thought.
When i first started using it I had been saying the name totally
wrong. the correct way to say it is Keen-wha'.
Seems this seed has been around for thousands of years. Why was
I not told? Oh yeah, maybe because i wasn't born yet LOL.
So now  I am adding this rich super food to my daily diet. It is
full of fiber and protein. So if your not use to having a lot of fiber
in your diet, may I suggest that you start out with small amounts
when eating this. Needless to say I found out my own way.
But now all good. I am very excited about this new ( well to me)
food.  This cute plant cooks up so light. And is tasty.

This one has mushrooms

One healthy shopping done

A great one to have around

I am not one
to  go into
great details
of such things
I figure if you
want all the info
on this seed you
can google it.
All I can do is
brag on how great
it is.










It just amazes me that it is not rice. It kinda even looks like rice to me  Trying
to explain to someone who does not now what this is was a brain thinker. Well
let me tell you what its not. Ha ha. I suggest going into a store if your buying
this for the first time, bring a photo and speak to someone who knows what
your talking about, even if your not sure yourself.
So I am into making my first meal. I added fresh mushrooms, onions, garlic
and Tofu. Threw in a side of tomato slices and wha-la done.

I hope that you try this Keen-wha . You will be so happy that you did. Thanks for 

always stopping by. Share a pic of your dish. Till the Morrow. Many blessings

Grain Free Peanut Butter & Apple Doggie Cakes

Who wants their family member ( dogs) to enjoy a scrum-delicious treat
that not only  looks great, but taste great as well?  Soy free, Gluten Free
Sugar Free, Dairy Free, Grain Free, and Corn Free.

Baking those cakes 

Drizzled Honey

Making these turned out to be a treat. Happy
was the crew of my taste testers, ready on hand.
These took a bit longer to make. but our fur
babies are worth it. Of course when you have
a bigger dog they just woof them down without
even chewing, But you can give it to them in
smaller quantities, so maybe they will be able
to taste it  a bit more.

Cream Cheese and cinnamon topping, or a
peanut butter frosting. or a delightful top
of drizzled honey. And a plain topper is
always a choice if your traveling.

These are made daily. Fresh and no preservatives.
Always kept in the refrigerator or freezer.

3 Different Varieties of Cakes 

Peanut Butter Frosting

Cream Cheese & Cinnamon Topping

A lovely Treat

These are pawFect for those fur babies
that have allergies. They need special
love as well .

Till the morrow
Keep giving your pets a yummy treat.

have given the approval of a very lick-able treat. It's always fun in

Baby Girl luv's these

Living the Peach State always helps. We have plenty of peanuts in the 

fields, so we can  make peanut butter at home. A delicious roasted 

flavor that most dogs love and of course we people too.

Always choose a healthy treat for your four legged family members

because they deserve such yummy goodness.

Have a Paw-Fect Day

Picky PawPaws Gourmet Dog Food

I am delightfully working on my  new business.  We all want our fur
babies to have the best treats ever right? They deserve such yummy
treats just like their human parents. They will love the taste of a home
made treat , made with love right from the our kitchen to yours.

Just knowing that your pet has a  home made treat makes anyone feel loved. 

I know I would.  It's like when grandma is in the kitchen baking those chocolate chip

 cookies that you love. Our eyes get so big when she finally brings the plate over full 

of yummy bites. It's like that.  So hopefully you  join in my new venture in making

these treats. Give me your input. Likes and comments. I would really appreciate them.

Till the morrow, I'll be a happy baking 

                                                           

"Can" it be Love

Each we rise is a brand new day. And after that phrase
you say, derp ! yeah. We all know that. It is not anything
new. Oh ,yes it is. But do you really think about it? 
Each day has not been used. Each day we will arise to
another set of circumstances that will effect our lives.
A new set of smiles. A chance to start over and make 
things better than yesterday. And even in this new day,
each day, will we be able to make better choices. Will
our eyes be open to things we did not see yesterday?
Simplicity is straight forward. It sits right in front of
us. It is up to us, to make life smarter, not harder.
One of these simplicity's are children. They have
such a delightful mind. They do not over think things.
And when they pick the cute little flower and bring it
to you, just because. That is pure love.
The little things in life we need to recognize. Like when 
my grandson left this message for me. 

A simple message of cans. As a parent you can enjoy
the love that these cans were arranged in. Stop and look
at the message. The time he took in taking them all out
and arranging them into letters. Would you see the love 
in this? Or would see cans out of the shelf all on the
floor and now everything is unorganized? If you chose
the second option you totally missed  this message of
love. 
We need to open our eyes more to love. Love is everywhere.
Though the world would have us think otherwise. They
focus on hate and feed it. And then others open their mouths
and eat. Spitting hate and going back for seconds.
The phrase "stop and smell the roses" needs to be ever so
present in our lives. If we all would stop and take a deep
breath we can enjoy what is offered to us.
The Lord made this creation for us. The master painter.
Imagine what colors are out their. 
The "can do's" in our lives are much more important. 
We want love all the time. Like I said love comes in many
forms. It is up to us to look for them. To open our eyes.
Simple acts of kindness to others. Doing something for
someone without expecting anything in return. Free love
is always available in our hearts. Our children is one 
example of pure free love. God the Father has an abunance
of free love. Do we except that each day? 

We all the emoji's of life. They make us feel happy. 
We send to others in our conversations. There always
is an abundance of these. can you make a real one?
It always warms my heart to think that someone left
this just for me. of course I smiled. This was the senders
intentions. It's like getting a free back scratch.

If we but notice love more, we all will smile a bit 
more, which in turn will have the ripple effect. I love
finding things in my life that otherwise others might
dismiss so quickly. Like this pretty flower petals that
seemed to take shape from the bottom of the condensation
from my glass of water.

 God love is real. He wants us to feel it all of the time.

Let today really be a new day for you. Give love and
receive love, in all forms this life has to offer. In small
things we can accomplish big. And spread it through
all the universe.
Till the Morrow & Many blessings

The Make-Up "Case"

Today's lesson is all about that base. No, not Megan Trainor, though I do love, love her  cat wisps. Makeup, shmaykup. 
What is all the hoopla about it anyway? Well ,let me say 
its the most important thing like ever since the birth of 
color.  I came out of the womb demanding my makeup.

Have you had anyone tell you" today you cannot wear makeup"?  I have been told that on quite a few occasions.
And, I must say I really do give them a double take in
a "how dare you ask me to to go naked" look. I have even argued with the Doctors on this evil question. I have to look
my best. What if, I was to like die on the table? I so could save
the mortuary dude a lot of time on my makeup job. 
There not gonna do it like I usually do. This sums up only my eyes so far.

I am not knocking anyone who wishes to take their own life
 into their own hands by not wearing any makeup, BUTT

Really, for women who love makeup, that above is
simply never an option. It's inconceivable. Might be
just me,  but yeah this is true. I love makeup so much
that even my Birthday was made like makeup, thanks 
to my wonderful sister in-law

My Cake

My Birthday Makeup Cake 

I am dedicated to makeup. It is up there with my daily

 duties of eating and the 3-SSS. Even so this ritual is 

not as consuming as it used to be, ( I say because

I am a pro at it by now) I cannot go out into the world

unless I am wearing my makeup. One reason especially 

is that I have a condition called Alopecia. This is a condition

that does not let your hair grow back, one of which is my eyebrows. I did use to have  eyebrow hair, but then life's challenges decided to attack my eyebrows. I am jelly of women who do have them and yet still add eyebrow pencil to theirs or

have them tattooed to  great looking eyebrows. But if you just want a certain shape then I understand. Each person can absolutely do in the makeup area what makes you happy. 

I am getting ready. I think that life might give me a grade

on my makeup job right! It might. I am really for those

who have natural beauty, but if you have seen what I look

like with no eyebrows, well lets just say I am from an alien nation. My skin is very fair. So even the lightest color

of foundation is dark.

I hear this line all the time. Thank you for that comment

but your wrong! Ahh yeah I do need makeup. Otherwise

I will have no face. So  the quote" wait till I put my face on" is very true. Dude really I have to put my face on.

There is no such thing as a makeup case, well unless it's a story then it's a case , but in this"case" it is not. It is 7 draws of

makeup. I still think I need a new draw set, but then I will have to fill them up.  I swear to myself, you don't need anymore.

Don't buy anymore. But then this happens

I know, your laughing because you know you do this 

too.  I have just found a few months back an awesome

lipstick called "True Mattee"  how brilliant. They have 

some pretty cool colors and they last quite a while.

Happy shopping on these babies and they are in a great

price range to boot. I happen to find these in Dollar General

The end of my blog is near so I shall mention just a few more things. One which is is dangerous. That movie called a Christmas Story where they say " you'll shoot your eye out"

lets add some  women to that picture and add mascara. When putting on mascara is a dilemma. Watch out or you will poke your eye out. It is the next to the last thing I put on before I head out the door. My makeup can be all done and then I poke myself in the eye. 

Great, now my makeup is messed up.  Because I have 

put on waterproof eyeliner and mascara. I can't just wipe 

it off. I have to use makeup remover ,which in turn will off balance my other makeup. Why is eyeliner and mascara water proof by not tear proof? Obviously  a women needs to make this happen . Anyway so when you poke yourself in the eye that freaking hurts, really and then you tear up which in turn now is this.

Now if I was going to go somewhere, that is not gonna happen anytime soon, because I will have to wash off this palate and start fresh. That's just how it is.  This makeup case has it ups and downs. Smudges and pokes. Tears, heat, allergies and much more. is it worth it? YES! It is what it is. My advice is to be who you want to be , with or without makeup.  Own yourself like a boss and walk that walk. Because your own approval is the only thing that is necessary. 

Till the Morrow, Many Blessings
