Corned Beef Weekend Leftover Ideas  St. Patrick’s Day was ushered in quite happily early in the day when Mr. Jack Rabbit himself visited me. He seemed to know the perfect moment to arrive – just as I was preparing the slow cooker corned beef meal with red potatoes and mini cabbages. Maybe the aroma of Brussels sprouts was strong enough to reach his nostrils. Jackrabbits do have a keen sense of smell. If you decide to make a purchase through my link, Amazon will pay me a commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of myRead More →

Easy & Juicy Ribeye Today I went to the supermarket and purchased two bone-in ribeyes. “If you decide to make a purchase through my link, Amazon will pay me a commission for it. This doesn’t cost you anything additional. These commissions help to keep the rest of my content free, so thank you!” I’ve cooked them before in my slow cooker for four hours. But this time, I did it differently. I sprinkled the steaks generously with seasoning and put them in the crockpot and didn’t cover them with foil. It didn’t dawn on me until two-and-a-half hours later that I forgot to wrap themRead More →

Welcome to Over-the-Road (OTR) blogging! Pictures not looking like they should on your iPhone or home computer? Not a problem. When I get a chance to blog on steady ground, no bouncing, no “NO SERVICE”, I’ll remedy the situation. In the meantime, please come on board with me for a few moments to read about my OTR breakfast. Breakfast began today with coffee purchased at a truck stop. The truck stop had a Dairy Queen which does not offer breakfast on their menu. Sorry, Dairy Queen, you didn’t make a sale off of us this morning. Perhaps you should consider adding breakfast. Dairy Queen goes backRead More →

You quickly learn about where the best food is, most convenient truck stops, and no-brainer daily activities like how to climb in and out of the big rig when riding along with your trucker husband. I’ve decided to share one recent day’s events in case you’re wondering. Food is a priority of mine (figured that out already, didn’t you?😉), and I like to start my day with breakfast (especially fried eggs or omelets) and coffee. Unless I want to spend money every morning for cooked eggs, I have to settle on other nutritious food. On a side note here, many truck stops are becoming moreRead More →

  What do you prepare for dinner when there is nothing in the refrigerator or, in a big rig, if there is NO refrigerator? You keep an ice chest handy and full of ice with nutritious food inside. Oranges, apples, nectarines, and bananas are kept on hand, are nutritious, and add a good amount of needed fiber. Cottage cheese is a great protein snack that we like, especially the Cottage Cheese Doubles brand. We stack a few packaged fruit packs in their natural juice, mixed tuna flavored packs, and other items. Jerky is good, but it’s important to get the kinds with low sodium. YouRead More →

  Healthy eating is possible for the OTR trucker. Plan ahead, and be wise on your grocery shopping. This blog post was written on a road trip with an iPad. It worked much better than typing on a laptop going down the road. Taking photos was a challenge. At first they showed up while typing the post but not when I viewed the post. Don’t see the photos yet? If not, check back. They’ll show up soon. When I go on road trips with my trucker husband, we eat light meals or a snack every three hours. This way you don’t get too full orRead More →

A Spicy Enchilada Quinoa Soup I’ve noticed some great slow cooker enchilada recipes lately and have really been wanting to try them out. Rather than go to the supermarket for more ingredients, I decided I’d use what I have on hand. One recipe I saw had quinoa in it, and I just happened to have a box of Nature’s Earthly Choice Easy Quinoa, Garden Vegetable flavor. This enchilada recipe is a meatless meal. Personally, I think cheese enchiladas are the best. The chicken and beef kinds are good, too. But quinoa enchiladas? I wasn’t too sure how that would taste. Sounds quite nutritious, doesn’t it?Read More →
