Spider Plant Babies

Sometime in spring/summer 2011 I decided I wanted a house plant.  A spider plant seemed a good fit for me since I never killed the one I had as a teenager.  I almost bought one from a home improvement store, but Jeff said to wait.  It turns out that one of his coworkers is an amazing spider plant grower and offered me a medium sized "baby" from his "parent" plant.  I named the plant ZP because I'm a weirdo who names plants.  ZP lived on the deck until it got chilly, in the kitchen window until the cats started eating it, then moved to its current home in the guest bedroom window.  ZP has produced 6 babies which are now medium sized.  For this post, I'm going to root/plant the babies from "adult babies" as well as ZP.

Repost: Broccoli Cauliflower Casserole

Somebody got a little lazy this week.  Yeah, I'm pointing at myself.  I'm going to have to stop with the reposts soon because I'm going to run out of old posts!  Anyway, this casserole looked like something tasty to put up even though I can't eat it right now.  Thankfully, the recipe for this casserole hasn't changed since this February 2009 post.  Enjoy!


Okay, maybe not too many people say "Mmm... veggies," but I challenge you to dislike veggies in the following dish: a casserole. It's one of my favorite ways to eat vegetables. I admit, most casseroles are far from being healthy and probably negate the effects of eating vegetables in the first place, but they sure do taste great! My favorite casserole is one that my mom has made from as far back as I remember: broccoli cauliflower casserole. It's made with what I consider to be one of the greatest tasting ingredients that couldn't be worse for you: Velveeta. Read on to delight your taste buds(and possibly clog your arteries).

Keto Pizza

Well, I'm still going strong with keto.  At this point, I'm almost a month in and around 10 pounds down.  I'm really struggling with pizza cravings right now.  I feel like every other commercial on TV is Pizza Hut, Domino's, or a local pizza place.  I realize the first two don't sound so great to a lot of people, but I am by no means a pizza snob.  As long as it has some sauce, cheese, and pepperoni on it, I'll give it a shot.  I decided to see if I could track down any keto pizza recipes on Pinterest.  There were quite a few listed, but I decided to try the one that uses cheese and almond meal for the crust.  Let's just say it went extremely well.

Paper Heart Window Hangings

I think it's obvious by now that I like to decorate for holidays, particularly with deco polymesh wreaths.  Unfortunately, I don't have room to store a wreath for every holiday and had to find some other way to decorate for Valentine's Day.  Luckily, Pinterest delivered as usual.  I fell in love with this paper heart garland and decided to adapt it to what I wanted.
