My Make Ahead Salad for Work

I made this easy Greek salad for this weeks work lunches! I got the awesome containers from Amazon! The ones I ordered came with 10 so I split them with my Sis so she can do make ahead lunches too!

This saves so much time during the week! I love it!

Have a pleasant week and here is to wishing for Spring warm weather!

Easy Skillet Pork Chops

I used thin boneless pork chops to make this quick yummy meal! Seasoned with chili powder, seasoned salt and thyme. Chopped onion, red bell pepper, celery, tomatoes, some Louisiana Hot Sauce! Sautéed the chops in some Olive Oil seasoned side down for about a minute. Turn them over and pour all the veggies on top, cover with a lid and cook for 25 minutes!

Super simple and delicious! Sorry that you can’t see the baby chops as they are smothered in the veggie goodness! I love how colorful the meal is!

Happy Cooking!

Food From My Kitchen

I made this Fattoush salad recipe from Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients cook book! It was delicious!

This meal was of blistered fresh green beans, butter lettuce, walnuts and garlic goat cheese and a mustard dressing!

Ahhh baked ribs! yessssss!

I stopped at a farm and got cabbage! I blanched it and packaged it for the freezer to use for future soups!

Have a super weekend!

Happy Sunday Wishes

Look at what a friend made for me to remember Gizmo! It is so awesome! I will share the wall when I get photos of her up for my artwork to enjoy! She was very photogenic and I want to display her because she was such a sweet soul!

I am keeping myself busy so I am not so sad in missing my little girl! I know I have to adjust to the fact that she is gone! I am grateful I got to have her for the time that I did!

I roasted a whole chicken this morning and then made broth with the carcass so I made a small batch of chicken soup! Yum Yum! Comfort food! Yay!

Have a great week friends

An Ode To My Gizmo

I am wide awake
  I cannot sleep!
The loss of my dog
  Is so hard to take!
I miss her so deeply
  I feel so alone!
My house is too quiet!
  I need her here in my home!

It will take time…
  To get over her
It will take time to heal
  The loss of her is big
The loss of her is so real!

She was so sweet!
  She was my best friend!
I want her forever
  Her life to never end!

Saying good bye
  Is ever so hard
The loss is so final!
  I miss my little dog!

I cry and I cry
  I try to accept!
You can’t live forever!
  I just have to adapt!

This poem was written
  At 12 past 11
I know you are now
  An angel in Heaven!

Adieu I must bid you
  Adieu as good night
Thank you for being
  My little dog delight!

Written by me! This poem to help heal!
  The memory of my Gizmo!
The poem to help heal!
  Although I may never, get over the loss!
My little fur kid Gizmo,
  Helped me live with the joy
of her little bod!

She was a true companion….
  She imprinted her paw!
She was my fur kid!
  Forever and ever til she had to go off!

This poem was written
  to honor her memory!
Even though she is in heaven!
  I am thankful for her memory!

I wrote this poem
  to honor my dog!
I cherish her deeply!
  Time to post this to my blog!

My Beloved Gizmo Got Her Wings Yesterday

Sweetest Eyes of an Angel

She knew how to beg for her favorite things to eat!

She was an angel on earth and now she is an angel in heaven!

She knew how to smile and make anyone smile! I was so blessed to have her for the five years that we got to have together! I rescued her and she had also rescued me!

She had been suffering some health issues since August 12th. Her poor little body obviously couldn’t handle it anymore! It is so very hard to lose your best little fur friend, fur kid! Loving companion who had a very sweet personality! She was such a gentle sweet soul!

I know she is resting in peace and I am ever so grateful I got the be her mama!

Rest In Peace my beloved Gizmo, I will forever miss you!
