Wheels started cardiac rehab this week. He is doing very well since his new heart valve was put in place two weeks ago and that is a daily joy. The boo for the week – the disruption of the A Pinch of Joy website. While rehabbing and catching up on other parts of life that were on the back burner, somehow we totally lost the ability to receive traffic. Bytes knows the gruesome details, but we are not contagious so your site won’t catch it. (Drives him nuts when I explain techy stuff that way!) So sorry for any inconvenience! Thanks so much for stopping by today to share your awesome posts!

Chicken, Mushrooms and Bacon in the crockpot
Chicken with mushrooms and bacon makes a tender, juicy and surprisingly flavorful chicken dinner. The chicken breasts are dredged in flour and browned in a skillet to keep them juicy on the inside. The mushrooms, and bacon are quickly sauted and added to the chicken in the crockpot where they simmer for only four hours. Put them in the crockpot at lunchtime and come home to a wonderfully aromatic dinner. Serve with brown rice, pasta or potatoes with vegetables on the side. Have fruit or ice cream for dessert. (Even better ice cream with fruit.) Use chicken breasts that have been flattened or sliced to about an inch thick. They will cook more evenly than the chunky chicken breast. This slow cooker chicken recipe is a simple meal and takes less than 15 minutes and one skillet to ... [Read More]
Busy Monday 406
One day we are outside in sunshine making plans for this year's garden. The next we are shivering in the sleet and wind crossing the parking lot with groceries. The next morning the sky is filled with hundreds -- maybe thousands - who can count? - of honking white snow geese making their northern migration. Spring on the Plains! Certainly never boring. Like the awesome posts linked here each week -- never boring! Thank you for sharing!!

Blueberry Overnight Oatmeal Single Serving
This single serving of blueberry overnight oatmeal is delicious and a nutritional powerhouse. I like to use coconut, vanilla or blueberry yogurt instead of plain to give a little extra boost to the flavor. I use Light and Fit Greek yogurt, but any low carb brand can be used. I also use almond milk, but you could use your favorite dairy milk instead. Mix in a covered refrigerator dish or pint jar to store overnight. Add blueberries before serving. Eat at home or throw (tightly covered!) in your back pack to eat at your destination. Blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect body cells from free radicals. Free radicals are the villians that damage cells, contributing to aging and diseases, such as cancer. Blueberries are believed to have one of the ... [Read More]
Busy Monday 405
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]
