The sunsets have been spectacular as the sky turns many shades of pink, red and orange and the sun becomes a hazy red orb suspended near the horizon. We know the many wildfires are the reason.

Cobb Salad with Ranch Dressing
Cobb salads are a favorite in our house! They usually make an appearance once a week like clockwork, especially in summer. Crisp Romaine lettuce topped with a variety of healthy protein and drizzled with your choice of creamy Ranch Dressing. Cobb Salad fits deliciously into both Keto and Low Carb ways of eating. They are so easy and quick to put together, too. Avocados all end up on Wheel's bowl -- it's a texture thing! -- but he doesn't mind because he loves them. Fresh limes in the Great Plains are usually reasonably priced only in season, but they are a nice alternative for dressing. Making your own Ranch dressing lets you control the ingredients for both health and flavor. Buttermilk gives the dressing its own little tang, but it is not something I regularly have on ...

Cod Fish with Garlic Herb Butter
Fish is not a big staple in the Great Plains where the buffalo roam and cattle graze. So it's not the first thing a Cornhusker thinks of when it it is time to prepare dinner. However, it is part of a healthy diet, especially if you are striving for better heart health and general health improvements overall. Or need a change of taste! I am always looking for a different way to prepare fish. But I also like quick and easy. This recipe fits both! And the garlic herb butter is also fantastic on that other staple of the Great Plains, especially this time of year! Corn on the cob. Cod Fish with Garlic Herb Butter Print Prep time 5 mins Cook time 10 mins Total time 15 mins Quick, easy and tasty! Author: A Pinch of Joy by Charlene Vance Recipe type: ... [Read More]
Busy Monday 433
Labor Day is here! What happened to long, wonderful days of summer? We got the long,but no vacations or weekends gathered in parks halfway between homes. No family reunion, first cancellation in over seventy five years! I pulled out the lone cucumber from the dismal garden yesterday. It was planted with dreams of crisp slices in the spring, but all it ever produced were 3 foot long tasteless clubs. A metaphor for summer 2020, with its loneliness, wildfires, climate changes, social growing pains and the ever-present pandemic. May next year be better in every way!! Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!!! We'll get through this together!!!

Skillet Lasagna
Skillet Lasagna Is a loose rendition of the standard baked version. They both have all the elements of meat, cheese, tomato sauce and pasta in common. Baked lasagna has big ruffly noodles layered with sauce, meat, then cheese and repeat. Skillet lasagna stirs meat, sauce and noodles in the pan, then tops with cheese when the noodles are just right for eating. For anyone maximizing time, skip the layering and enjoy the same flavors. You can go from cupboard to stove to table in about 30 minutes! This recipe is budget friendly and kid friendly too! Something quick but a little more sophisticated? Check out Grilled Brie and Pear Sandwich. Skillet Lasagna Print Prep time 5 mins Cook time 30 mins Total time 35 mins Author: A Pinch of Joy by ... [Read More]
