Today is National Nevada Day. Nevada, the Battle Born State, was grated statehood during the Civil War. The only other state to join during the war was West Virginia. Although today is National Nevada Day, Nevada actually joined the union on October 31, 1864.

Sausage Breakfast Burrito
Sometimes, I cook just for me. When I do, I try my best to avoid making a huge mess in the kitchen. Sometimes that works out, other times it doesn’t.
Garlic Vino Balsamic Chops
The flavors are intense, yet these pork chops take almost no time at all to prepare. The Balsamic added a beautiful depth to the finished sauce. And if you are a fan of garlic, be sure to eat the soft bulbs right out of the sauce. Yum!
Sautéed Tilapia with Lemon-Caper Pan Sauce
You learn something new every day. I was about to tell you that this is the 5th Friday of Lent, but I would have been wrong. Sure, it’s the 5th Friday after Ash Wednesday, but apparently when counting Lenten Fridays, that first one doesn’t count because it is not preceded by a Sunday of Lent. Do you have a headache now? So confusing.

Whiskey Breakfast?
Today is World Whiskey Day. Yeah, that’s what the world needs right now – whiskey! To drink or not to drink. Is that even a question?
Ro-Tel Tacos on Indian Fry Bread
Have you ever eaten at a Taco Bell? Have you ever tried their Chalupa Taco? If so, this is a lot like the Chalupa Taco. If you search for copy-cat Taco Bell Chalupa recipes, you’ll find them to be nearly identical to Fry Bread.

As it turns out, today is National Spinach Day. Now I suppose the best way to celebrate Spinach Day would be to make a Spinach Salad. Sure, that would be good. The problem with a Spinach Salad is that I would be the only one eating the salad. I might be able to sneak in some spinach burred under torn bits of Iceberg Lettuce, but that’s about as close as I could get with my guys.

Eye of Round is really a tough piece of meat. It’s also an excellent cut of beef for your Instant Pot. Unlike other cuts of beef, the Eye of Round will hold its shape and not fall apart under pressure. (Yes, pun intended).
One Blue Plate Diner Special Coming Up
Being Home-Bound is what you make it. We can all talk about doom and gloom, fondly remembering the old days when we ignored one another as we went about our day, or we can make the best of things. I’ve had my bouts with the gloomy side of things, and frankly I don’t like it much.
Good Morning Sugar and Spice
Many, many moods ago, my sisters and I scattered to the winds. One sister moved up north to Oregon, another to sunny Southern California, while I headed to the deserts of Nevada. Despite the distance, we still managed to get together when we could.
Dump-and-Go Meatball Lasagna
Dump-and-Go recipes are great right now for two reasons. First off, many of us have children at home. We have become independent Home-School groups. Taking care of the family while meeting the educational needs of our children takes up a lot of time. Dump-and-Go recipes come together quickly. And that’s a good thing.
Cheesy Ham and Egg Biscuit Sandwich
As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Eggs Benedict. I’m not sure if it’s the richness of the broken yolk dripping down onto the plate or the buttery-creaminess of a perfect Hollandaise Sauce that gets my motor running.
Monterey Spaghetti with French-Fried Onions
Different. That’s how Hubby would describe this meatless Spaghetti Casserole. And that’s Hubby-Speak for “don’t make it again”. On the flip side, Kiddo loved it, nearly finishing off the entire casserole single-handedly.

Sunday Chicken Biscuit Mini Pot Pies
While I can’t speak for everyone, but Sundays seem a bit off now that we can’t congregate for Sunday Services. Now would be a good time for people of faith to pull out their books and spend a little time as a family sharing the word. For me, that’s Catholic. Whatever your faith or beliefs, now would be a good time to pass those along to the next generation.
Hey Y’All in West Virginia
Today is National West Virginia Day. When the state of Virginia voted to secede from the Union, Western Virginia clung to their Union loyalties. Those folks created their own constitution apart from Virginia and approached Congress for statehood. West Virginia became the 35th state in the Union, joining as its own entity in 1863.
