our garden, another grocery delivery and some baking

Hello everyone 

I normally look at the new Kroger sale ad on Wednesday and place an order to come Thursday.

Last week,  I guess they were closed or something last week as I could not get my delivery until Monday.  

I didn’t plan to get another order so soon but this week’s  ad had some great sales so I put in a small order.  

a spiral ham probably for Easter,  ice cream sandwiches were $1.99 a box 

the flour was $2.19 (I don’t think that’s super low but I do like this unbleached flour) 

You can see part of the sale add below 

Kroger Math is crazy!  they don’t show the actual total until checkout but I’m very happy with all this for $35.78.  

It took me 2 days but all the tomato, pepper, herb and flower plants are in the ground or big pots.  

green beans, tomatoes and peppers here, and a few short zinnias 

more peppers and tomatoes on this end

The 70 MPH we had a couple weeks damaged our fence 😵‍💫😱

but these faux barrels have tomato plants in them 

The clear tub is a few potatoes,  the barrel on the far left is pink peonies that should be blooming soon 

Our favorite OKC meteorologist is about an hour south and he said he saw his first hummingbird yesterday.  

So I made some nectar and hung up 1 of ours.  

I sure hope they come back, they are so fun to watch.  

The back treatment my husband had about 2 weeks had a possibility of a year of pain relief.  

Sadly, he only had about a week.

He will be seeing the doctor again soon.  

It very frustrating to have tried so many things but he is still miserable.  

Supper tonight was burgers on another batch of homemade buns.  

Isn’t this towel cute?  I made it years ago with some vintage fabric either from a thrift store or rummage sale.  

Some of that older fabric was so high quality,  it just lasts and lasts.  

That’s all the news from here

hope you are all having a good week

Easy fast Green Chili casserole

hello everyone

We have a variation of this meal often. 

Sometimes I use a can of white chicken meat.

I cooked a whole chicken yesterday so I used some of that meat today.

To make this you need cooked chicken, corn tortillas, green chili salsa and mozzarella 

Tonight I used a pan that is about 8 by 10 inches.

I put 3 corn tortillas, tearing one in half, to cover the bottom of the pan.

Then the chicken, some diced onions ( optional but we like onions) and another layer of corn tortillas.  

Then I topped it with the whole jar of green salsa and 1 cup of grated mozzarella.  

Then just bake until it’s bubbly and starting to brown.

It bakes quick as the ingredients are all close to  room temperature.  

If you’re feeding more people,  just use more tortillas and ingredients and bake in a bigger pan.  

This is the salsa I used today.  It was Mild,  some brands are Medium.  

We’ve used different brands and sometimes I buy it in cans.  We like them all and don’t have a preference.

I mainly buy the salsa that is the lowest price.  

It’s good with lettuce and tomato and sour cream if you have them.  

The rice was left from Friday.  

This is a meal we really enjoy and it’s so quick and easy.  

The leftovers are great too.

Monday Monday

Hello Everyone,

I got up early and did several things on my to do list,  including fixing Jello cups, hard cooked eggs and veggies sticks for snacks and lunches 

Kroger delivered today -still have no idea why there was a wait time but I’m happy with Kroger anyway.  

no meat because we have enough meat in the freezer to last for awhile.  

Even with some good Kroger specials,  this order was $106.  

in 2025,  I’ve been keeping this devotional book on a small easel in the kitchen.  

I usually read it first thing in the morning when I set out our morning medicines.  

Then I usually re-read it when I have a pause while doing kitchen work.  

This book is published by Mrs. Sharon White, a longtime blogger @ Legacy of Home 

In this post she tells how they republished this 1800’s book

Supper was simple but good.  I cooked a whole chicken in a slow cooker,  miscrowaved a bag of frozen peas and carrots and cooked rice for 2.  

There was some very nice broth from the cooked chicken and I think we only ate about 1/4 of the chicken. 

 So that broth and some of that  leftover chicken will probably be the base of Tuesday’s supper.  

good night 

❤️ Rhonda
