Menu Plan Monday – 6/28/2010
| June 28, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft |
Although I planned menus for the last couple weeks, I didn’t post them. They weren’t that exciting anyway. Hotdogs and corndogs and ramen and other cheap food. I’m back to it this week, though! Monday: Pizza for lunch, breakfast for dinner! (eggs and hashbrowns and ham!) Tuesday: Amazing Slow Cooker Pot Roast Wednesday: Leftovers –… more
Amazing Slow Cooker Pot Roast
| June 28, 2010 | Posted by Kate under cooking, main dishes, recipes |
My favorite (and easiest!) pot roast. I don’t know how well it qualifies, since it doesn’t have the usual carrots and potatoes and such, but it’s an excellent roast, easy to make, and is fantastic served over egg noodles. This recipe initially called for 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, but I much prefer… more
Swappin’ it up…

Swaptree, if you haven’t heard of it, is an amazing website dedicated to swapping books and media between members for only the price of postage. It’s a simple process – you make two lists, one for all the things you want to trade, and one for all the things you want in return. Swaptree’s system… more

Summer Goals
| June 25, 2010 | Posted by Kate under goals, hearthcraft, organizing |
I’ve titled this post goals instead of plans, because I want to make it clear – to myself, mainly – that these are things I’m going to strive for, not just something I’ve put on the calendar to deal with. I could’ve written a list a mile mile (okay, several dozen things, anyway…) but I’ve… more
Delicious Ham (or Sausage, or Bacon) & Potato Soup
| June 21, 2010 | Posted by Kate under cooking, hearthcraft, recipes |
Yet another soup recipe… This time, my second favorite soup ever – potato soup! This soup is infinitely adaptable and forgivable. I rarely measure most of the ingredients anymore. This is easy! Ingredients: 3.5 C diced potatoes (any sort of potatoes will do here – I like yukons or reds, but I’ve used plain old… more
Not quite tornado alley…
| June 21, 2010 | Posted by Kate under nature, weather |
(I did not take this photo myself – I took it from our city newspaper’s website, The Billings Gazette.) I intended to get a lot more done yesterday than I actually did. I woke up late, had pancakes, and headed out to buy my mother some new scrubs, and some toilet paper from Costco. I… more
Midsummer Plans
| June 18, 2010 | Posted by Kate under hearthcraft, holidays, witchcraft |
Midsummer (aka the Summer Solstice) is upon us come June 21st. Can you believe it? Halfway through 2010 already? Summer already? I can’t. Still reeling from the fact that easter’s already long gone. Don’t you love how time seems to move faster the longer we live? So unfair. So terribly unfair. As a child, I… more
Fresh and Pretty
| June 18, 2010 | Posted by Kate under dog, quilting, sewing |
You’ll notice I changed themes. I did this because though I loved the last theme very much, the text column was too skinny for the medium photo resolution on Flickr… meaning, I had to manually resize all my photos to something bizarre, like 425×318. Not cool. So I switched it. This theme isn’t my favorite,… more
