As mentioned last week, Wheels has a record of great Valentine gifts. This year's gift cannot be topped! He had a new "heart part installed" - an artificial heart valve. Doctors started the procedure about 11:30 am last Tuesday and he was out of the hospital by 3 pm on Wednesday. He is doing very well. An amazing and life-changing gift for him and all his friends and family! Thanks for stopping by to share your amazing posts each week.

Slow Cooker White chicken Chili
White Chicken Chili is so easy to prepare in the crockpot. It is a cold weather boost to come in the house after work to a fragrant ready to eat meal. Since it makes twelve one cup servings, you may have leftovers for a second meal – bonus! This recipe also works well for make ahead freezer cooking, too. Make it, freeze it and pull it out when needed. Versatile and delicious! Beans are a great source of protein, especially in a vegetarian diet. They are a rich source of fiber and B vitamin as well, as lesser known nutrients as magnesium, phosphorus and manganese. Beans also have health benefits such as reducing cholesterol, decreasing blood sugar and improving healthy gut bacteria. They are not low carb, however, so they need to be worked into a low carb diet intentionally. ... [Read More]

Wheels has always outdone himself for Valentine's Day. There was the Dove Dark Chocolate with an article from a magazine on how dark chocolate was healthy. A couple of years later, it was two cases of tuna. I was looking at the grocery ad featuring $100 rose bouquets and said something along the line of "I'd rather have this" pointing to the photo of the case of tuna for sale. A week later I came downstairs for breakfast to find two large cardboard boxes setting on the kitchen counter. I was really puzzled -- especially after I opened the top one and found 24 cans of tuna. Wha---?? And then I remembered that little comment tossed off when I thought he wasn't really paying attention. And started to laugh. Gotta love a guy who listens!!

Buttery Apple Crisp
Nate the Great's Mommy set the dessert on the table. MMMMMM Apple Crisp. One bite and it was wow! Light and buttery, cinnamony, and just right sweetness. This apple crisp just whispers in your ear and wraps you in warm apple flavor kissed with butter and cinnamon. Where did you find this recipe, I asked. (just for you, of course!) In grandma's community cookbook, she said. Of course. Every cook who knows someone from that little town has a fat orange covered spiral bound cookbook on the shelf or in the kitchen drawer. Apparently even those who weren't even in kindergarten yet when it was published! How could I have missed it? Granted there are 7 apple crisp recipes in the book, including one with marshmallows, one with eggs and one with raisins. Interestingly they all call ... [Read More]
