National Stand Up to Cancer Day

September 10, 2021 Today is National Stand Up to Cancer Day, sponsored by the organization, Stand Up to Cancer. Bruce was diagnosed with stage three colon cancer at the age of 41.

Havana Ponds Trail at the RMANWR

September 8, 2021 On Sunday, September 5th, Bruce and I went back to the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge (RMANWFR) to try another hiking trail.

Nox with One Ear!

Leftover Fajita Quesadillas

I had a lot of fajita leftovers from a steak fajita dinner I made. While the fajitas were good, I wanted to try to do something different. I love quesadillas and thought the leftovers from the fajita dinner would make a great filling. I was very pleased with how well this turned out. I love […]

Instant Pot Southwestern Polenta

This recipe is my own invention. I was trying to figure out what to make for supper when I saw the polenta in the pantry at the RV. I also had tomatoes, roasted poblano peppers, lemons, and a bunch of cilantro. In the freezer, I had Costco Mexican Style Street Corn. This came together quickly […]
