Chickpeas Salad Sandwich Spread!

Oh my gosh this is good! It could use a little more something in seasoning to spruce the flavor up! I was bummed I didn’t have any pickles to add to it which the recipe called for. This is a keeper!

I took one slice of bread and cut it in half and had just a small sammy! It is going to be good in my lunches this week!

Lucy and I did a lot this morning so I am tired but I think I will make my second recipe for the work week too and get that done! It sucks getting tired more easily! Now I know how my Grandma felt at this age! tee hee!

Lucy & I Got Two Walks In!

Lucy & I got a walk in at 3 am this morning and we just got back from a second walk!

She is happy and resting on my feet in front of the fan! I think I wore her out! It felt so good though to get exercise in! We had to do it before the heat of the day!

I have my house cleaned too already! Later I pick up my mom in law and have her over for dinner! I am spoiling her with Rib Eye Steak! She is so much fun, the last time I visited she had my stomach hurting from laughing so hard, she has quite the sense of humor!

Have a wonderful Saturday friends!

Lucy Has Been With Me For About 3 Weeks

Lucy has been with me for about three weeks now and she brings me such joy! I so needed the companionship after losing my husband and then beloved Bear! The empty house was just too much to bare! She is so very smart and knows our routine so well!

when I get home she has her ball in her mouth and her whole body wiggles with delight! My loyal little princess, bull in a China Closet, delightful fur kid!

Happy weekend wishes! Hugz Blondie and Lucy

Tina Casserole with a “Lisa” Twist!

My good friend Tina gave a wonderful casserole idea and I put my own twist on it! Recipes are fun to make them your own too!

I made her and I a Ribeye Steak lunch today. The steaks were MONDO! So she gave me this wonderful idea!

Cut the steak into bite size pieces and throw in the casserole dish
Cook Rotini noodles until just Al Dente!
I chopped up Gruyere cheese and threw them in the casserole dish. Also grated parmesan cheese in there too!
Saute onion and mushrooms and garlic in some butter until tender . Add 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and one can of half and half, also sour cream! Heat until nicely mixed and creamy!
Pour over the noodles and top with bread crumbs or potato chips
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until bubbly!

Oh my gosh it is sinfully delicious! Now to do my treadmill tomorrow!
