SOL 3/5 Food, Glorious Food!

5 of 31 for the Slice of Life Challenge from Two Writing Teachers
I have a confession.  I am in love with food.  Anything. Everything.  There is very little that I don't like.  Well, that's not true.  Liver and onions...I hate liver and onions.  It is the one food that my kids have never had, and never will.  Anyway...  Food Network is the station you will most likely find on my television, and I love to visit food blogs (The Pioneer Woman is a favorite!) and recipes on Pinterest to get new ideas for things to make.  I think I have even started working out because I love food so much.  I might weigh a lot more if it weren't for the exercise!

Last night I made a really great turkey and dumpling soup.  It was just a dump and cook kind of experiment, so I couldn't really write down the exact recipe if I wanted to.  It was frozen mixed veggies, roasted turkey that I cooked on Sunday, Herbs de Provence, poultry seasoning, chicken broth, garlic, onions, and Reames dumplings.  That's it...nothing special, but boy did it sure taste great!  So great, in fact, that my hubby came in to tell me that I needed to share the recipe "on your blog there."  So in honor of my husband, I shared my recipe with you all. Aren't you glad you stopped by? :)

What about you?  Anyone else have a love of food as well?  Where do you look for your recipes?

    I'm very thankful I stopped by! Your turkey soup sounds delicious, perfect for a winter evening.
    Tonight, I had a pork chop the size of a small roast, a baked potato and steamed broccoli. quite yummy

    I call that "seat of the pants" cooking, and it often tastes the best, don't you think? I love cooking--and cookbooks--so much that I usually plan my dinner menus two months at a time, with my seasonal cookbooks piled high and tabbed. My piece de resistance this past weekend was pork chops with pan gravy and a veggie-rice medley; hubby was still thanking me for it this morning!

    Yum! I am just coming home and needing some inspiration for dinner. Seat of the pants cooking is what I usually do. My dad always said "If you don't know what to do, just start sautéing some garlic and onions. After they are cooking, something will occur to you!"eryagen 214

    We have a lot in common. I love to cook, eat good food, and just page through cookbooks and cooking magazines. I love America's Test Kitchen and Cook's Illustrated. Baking is my therapy. Unfortunately, I'm pretty bad at the exercise thing. :) Your soup recipe sounds delicious.

SOL 3/31 I Made It!

Wow!  I made it. Thirty-one days of writing on this little blog.  I am so proud of myself for finishing the Slice of Life challenge, hosted by Ruth and Stacey at Two Writing Teachers.  I don't think that I could have imagined that I would finish a month of blogging. A month of writing.  I have truly enjoyed this challenge.  I remember why I love writing.  I have been able to try new styles of writing.  I have also been able to read some really powerful posts from some really terrific writers.  I have learned more about the subject that I teach.  I have come across great ideas for my classroom.  I have laughed and cried with others from around the world.  Thirty-one days may be a short blip in time, but thirty-one days has helped me to become a stronger writer.  Thank you to all the people who have read and commented.  That has meant a great deal to me.  I have grown to love the community of writers who support and encourage one another. Thank you, Ruth and Stacey, for challenging

SOL 3/16 Plugging Away

16 of 31 for the Slice of Life Challenge from Two Writing Teachers Today is my 41st post for this blog.  When I started this a few years ago, I don't think I could have imagined where I am now.  Teaching again, Trying to get fit.  Juggling three teen/preteens and work and just life in general.  I know I couldn't have imagined that I would join a writing challenge that asked me to write everyday for a month.  I am sure that that Sarah would have just laughed, and said "Yeah, right!"  But here I am, on my 16th day of blogging consistently, writing my 41st post.  While I'm sure this achievement is a drop in the bucket for some, I am choosing to see this as a good starting point.  A place that I realized that I can write, even if my audience is pretty tiny.  I am making a start, and that is a pretty cool thing.
