We reworked the entry hall closet this week. Those small spaces take as much time as the bigger spaces -- or maybe more! New shelf, installed cubbies for storage,and best of all moved the rod back 1.5 inches. No more coat sleeves hanging through the folding doors! New clean, sleek hardware. Bliss is a space that truly works and makes life better! And friends who stop by to share their awesome ideas, DIY projects and recipes. Thank you!!

Busy Monday 351
An impromptu conversation took place on Debbie Dabble's blog a week or so ago in which a number of people said they wanted to find blogs to "just read". Not everybody wants to write, but a lot like to read for their own personal enjoyment. I had a friend who could not get out of the house and felt that blogs opened her world and let her feel like she was still a part of a community. In that spirit, I am bringing back the blog roll -- up there in the top bar where it says "Connections" there is a list of some blogs that I like to read on a regular basis. Some are chatty, some are to the point. But they are all written for the joy of it, to share genuine knowledge, a passion and something of the writer. Some make money in various ways, others don't. If you have one or half a dozen ... [Read More]
Macaroni and Cheese Bites
Macaroni and Cheese Bites are a hearty appetizer for any occasion. Bake them in tart pans for Bitty Bites. Bake them in a regular muffin tin for a big guy appertizer or a light meal. Serve them for a prom after-party, an informal wedding reception, a couples potluck, the Big Game Food Table. I’ve mentioned before that we like hearty appetizers for a light meal that is different and out of the ordinary for us. It takes 20 minutes to prepare the big macaroni muffins. If you do the prep as directed and multi task while the water is coming to a boil and the pasta is cooking, you’ll feel less hurried during assembly. I used a small ladle to fill each muffin cup to the top. The recipe makes exactly 12. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh ground pepper and chopped parsley. If you ... [Read More]

Wheels went out for the mail yesterday and got about 4 steps off the front steps before hugging the poodle tree and hollering loudly enough for me to hear in the house. It was so icy! I ran to open the garage door -- only two steps away from him -- and he pulled himself inside. Today everything is covered with a thick coating of ice, but the sun is shining and it is beautiful! Of course, I am viewing it with my toes on the warm furnace register. :-) Thanks for sliding by to leave a link to your awesome posts!

Slow Cooker Sausage and Egg Casserole
Slow cooker Breakfast and Eggs Casserole is great for a crowd. And if you don't have a crowd, the leftovers for lunch the next day are great, too! I like to have casseroles for breakfast when we have guests. Usually we have some kind of activity planned and hearty breakfast keeps us going till lunch. This easy to make casserole fills the bill nicely. It is high in protein at 23 grams per serving for active people and just high enough in carbs at 18 grams to stick to the ribs. The eggs, well whisked, help keep this dish light. I use turkey sausage, but you can use your choice of sausage or even diced ham if you prefer. Precooked sausage crumbles speeds up preparation. In a time pinch, use frozen diced onions. The bell peppers add nutrition and color. Use any color. I had ... [Read More]
