Leftover meatloaf can be so versatile. I turned plain leftover meatloaf into something new and delicious – beef quesadillas!
It made a lot – enough for supper and lunches the next day too. And since I was using leftover food, it was almost free.

Mulch is a valuable asset in your garden. It preserves moisture, moderates soil temperatures and helps keep your plants healthy too.

Spring is almost here in NE Texas! How glorious to see things turning green, colorful flowers popping up and the temps warming. RancherMan & I have been busy building new chicken runs and preparing the garden for planting. We’re in Planting Zone 8 so I’m safe to drop the veggie seedlings into the ground around Easter and I. Can’t. WAIT! But I digress… (eh hemm…)
Today’s topic is saving money, and saving money is important to RancherMan & me – being self-employed means we’re always keeping a watchful eye on our dollars. Thankfully there are ample opportunities to save some cold hard cash. C’mon and see what we did this week to save money.

I’ve amended our favorite KitchenAid bread to include honey & a bit of oat flour. The healthy oats give the resulting soft homemade oatmeal / honey sandwich bread a hearty feel and it’s DELICIOUS!
