There were also a couple of salad recipes that intrigued me but when push came to shove I went back to that very first post that I opened and decided on the Cheese and Spring Onion Scones because Scones speak to me of England and I have never tried making them before. I was very tempted by all the goodies Karen offered like No Bake Chocolate Peppermint Squares or several different Layer Cakes from another club to which she belongs. I mean, what else could a person ask for in life.all the things I strive for set out for me on a silver platter and that was only the first post that I opened!! I continued looking through the entire month's worth of recipes and wow, there was so much from which to choose. Since I now knew that Karen liked to eat seasonally and locally and since our weather here in Michigan is not that different from that in England I punched in the month of June from last year and went to town!! I was in heaven.the very first post I opened was dated June 3rd, 2013 and the title was Thrifty and Organic Meal Planning. When I went to Karen's recipe page I was thrilled to see that you could search for recipes by month. Karen's family raised their own food and preserved their own food and Karen is carrying on the tradition.a woman after my own heart. I was happy to learn that Karen and I have the same love and dedication to cooking and buying local and organic and eating seasonally whenever possible. Karen was born in South Africa, was raised in England, traveled extensively and now divides her time between England and France. This month I was assigned Karen of Lavender and Loveage. You can learn all about the Secret Recipe Club here. It is a lot of fun, especially if your are a food nerd like me LOL. The mission is to try a recipe found on the blog you are assigned and make it, photograph it, blog about it and share it on an assigned reveal day. Each month you are assigned a fellow members blog without them knowing it and someone is assigned your blog but you don't know who. I am so excited about participating in the Secret Recipe Club again this month. I read the topic this morning before I left for my visit with Mom so, with that in mind, when I got to the Memory Care Center, I gathered Mom up and took her for some ice cream. You can write about anything that speaks to you when you read the topic.and today's topic is ICE CREAM. You don't have to write about your caregiving journey. You don't have to be a caregiver though you probably are in some capacity. One Word Wednesday is one of those places that we can share and vent.each Wednesday Lisa gives us a word or topic and we talk about what that topic brings to mind, knowing that the others will support us, laugh with us, cry with us and NEVER, EVER judge us.
All those feelings that we bury down deep inside because we NEVER want our loved ones to feel as if they are a burden to us. One of the things that we have found that helps us is talking about our challenges, struggles, conquests, successes, hopes, desires, anger and bitterness. Through this wonderful place known as blogland, many of us who have found ourselves thrust into the role of caregiver for our parents or spouses or children who can no longer care for themselves, have gotten together and offer each other support, strength and understanding. Lisa, like many of us, is a caregiver to her husband and children and for the past year she has been a caregiver for her Mom who suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
Today is One Word Wednesday hosted by my friend Lisa over at My Sweet Peanut. Grilled Asparagus Roasted Broccoli with Toasted Pine Nuts I am linking up with MPM and MSM where you will find lots of great menu ideas. Please stop by each day for photos and recipes. Thursday we will be helping Ting and Tony move into their new home so I don't know yet.it might be an eat out or order in night.įriday is 4th of July so of course we are having burgers and dogs, far be it for us to break tradition. Wednesday I will be making steaks with a compound butter inspired by Girlichef who created this steak after watching Moonstruck in the Food n Flix Challenge this month. I am bringing a salad and side dish to her ribs. Tuesday we are going over to Dawn's to celebrate Tom and my nephew, Jake's, birthdays. This week will only include Tuesday through Friday. My Weekly Menu normally runs Saturday to Friday but since we are not home until late tonight. In the meantime, I am posting our Weekly Menu. We had an absolutely wonderful time and I will be posting all about our trip along with some photos when we are truly home. We are home!! Well not home exactly but at our daughter, Nicole's, home in Florida waiting for time to pass before we go to the airport and catch our flight home to Michigan.
