I am back in my own apartment now. I think this was one of the first real dinners I made myself. It was around the Spring Equinox/Easter. There is not much after this. I was going out more than looking for myself in my own home.

Christmas/Yule 20017

chicken and procuito stuffed ravioli in an Alfredo sauce.

Chicago Deep dish pizza. not my own, I can tell by the crust. I was missing home not to realize that I would be driving up for the last time in less than 24 hours. things are going to get better in 2018, I promise

Instead of doing a single post for each old picture I am putting them in a year thread.

this is a brussel sprout salad, with mushrooms and almonds. I think I used 1000 island dressing.

This is right when Cody left. That break up hit me hard. I quit doing alot of things. I have no pictures of 2016, so we are just going to jump a year.

Enjoy the good life. Those words have so much meaning to them. I started this blog in 2012, wow has my life changed since then. I still have always spoiled myself with food and drink. Last time I blogged was the start of 2015. I have looked through my other social media sites and gathered some of what was done. I am not deleting for why delete life, it was lived, it was enjoyed. I am using this as a continuation of my story. Back in 2012 I had no budget, spending wasn't an issue. Times have sure changed. What has remained the same is that I still cook for myself almost every night (or eat those wonderful leftovers). It may be just me but I enjoy my food and drink. Sit back and catch up with me. Love and hugs SDMF

New Years Eve 2014/15

With the new simpler life we decided not to go anywhere for New Years Eve.  Instead we took the time just to be with each other, to celebrate the most important things in our lives. We have also decided to try to eat cleaner and better. Who knows if that is going to happen but stay tuned for those pics to see if that idea is accomplished :)

Dinner was a simple meatballs on pasta.

a pound of hamburger and a pound of sausage mixed with some spices

I use a small cookie baller to make these

mmmmmm sizzle. work in batches as not to crowd the pan

then I just boiled some basil noodles, tossed in some butter and black olives. Yum

Pot Roast

total comfort food. Pot roast seasoned well. put in a crock pot and covered in potatoes and carrots. I use can gravy as the liquid to make everything a bit more yummy

splinter pizza

this is one of Cody's childhood meals that he made for me

english muffins, pizza sauce, pepperoni, mushrooms, cheese, olives and then more cheese

10 minutes in 400 degree oven

Tator Tot cassarol

brown the ground beef. mix with a bag of frozen vegetables, a can of cream of mushroom soup and some shredded cheese

then top with frozen tator tots. 30 minutes in a 450 oven
