    Weekend Snaps | September Garden

    September 18, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here’s something you probably don’t know about me: I have never made real, honest-to-goodness fried chicken until this weekend. Random, I know, but it seems strange that in almost 48 years, I’ve never even tried.  That all changed Saturday night when I made some pretty dang fabulous fried chicken from…

    Red & Blue & New Shoes

    September 15, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I have no real reason to post this photo tonight except that: 1) I love my new shoes. 2) I love all these colors. 3) I love my LuLaRoe Carly dress. 4) I love my new shoes. And all of this makes me smile. It’s almost Friday, folks! Lara Shoes (Target) | Dress…

    What’s Up with Eggs These Days?

    September 15, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Note from Lara: Here’s a post I wrote for Agriculture.com this week and I felt it was worth the share here too. It’s reprinted with permission from Successful Farming/Meredith Corporation. Given the choice of $.99 a dozen conventionally-raised eggs or $5.99 a dozen cage-free eggs, which would you choose to…

    Beauty in Nature

    September 14, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Does anyone do Wordless Wednesday posts anymore? No matter, I have a few photos I snapped tonight on a run near my church. (It’s confirmation night so I was waiting for Joe.) Few words. Just pictures.  Beauty in nature, indeed. God is good.

    Turkey Tuesday: Slow Cooker Cowboy Casserole

    September 13, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Here’s the thing, it’s September which means I always have the urge to go shopping for something new. Okay, maybe a few new items. It’s almost fall … time for layers and boots and dresses and tights. All of which have nothing to do with Turkey Tuesday, except that sometimes…

    Weekend Snaps | Gopher Football!

    September 11, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    First, an important announcement to make … it’s my Mom’s birthday today! 🙂 We wish we could’ve been at the farm to help her celebrate, but Joe and I already had made a commitment to volunteer at an event at church so we connected via Facetime instead. Not optimal but…

    Turkey Tuesday: Turkey Totsagna

    September 5, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    Yep, you read that correctly. Turkey totsagna – as in lasagna made with tater tots. Whaaaaat? Mind blown. It’s almost like I should be whispering the recipe title. And you know what, everyone in my house really liked this recipe a lot! Even Joe, who is not typically a big…

    Good-bye Summer

    September 5, 2016 - By ldurben@charter.net

    I’m always a little sad to see Labor Day weekend come to an end. It signals good-bye to summer and hello to a more scheduled life complete with school activities, confirmation classes at church, homework, piano lessons, and a busy, busy office that seems to hit its stride in September…
