I don't feel like typing out the recipe & changes right now, but I wanted to post so you get a recipe in pictures! Sorry for the semi-sloppy handwriting. <br />
<br />

I made a couple of alterations to the recipe:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">My changes to the above recipe were to use 4 oz smoked salmon, 1 can ff evaporated
milk, 4 eggs + 2 whites, a little onion powder instead of minced, 2 cups
chopped fresh spinach and 1 oz freshly shredded asiago cheese. Baked in a
frozen pie crust. </span></span></div>

I know to East Coasters 100 year old homes are common, but for Alaska they are pretty rare. Anchorage was just beginning to be settled 100 years ago as a "tent city" and Palmer wasn't settled until 1935. The farm property is beautiful with amazing views, but can you imagine living here, homesteading this land 100 years ago?! More photos than I usually share at once, but I couldn't leave any of them out! <br />

My sandwich is a re-creation of a delicious vegan sandwich I had recently in Ellensburg, WA, but my version has a little turkey. Hummus on one side of the bread, fresh avocado on the other side with sprouts and tomato slices between. Looks like I got a little carried away with the fruits and veggies on the side, but can you really have too many?</p>

Put together a quick bento today so we could get out in the sun for a few minutes. The days are starting to get noticeably longer and brighter. We don't have very much snow right now, maybe 2" and the roads are pretty dry. Looking forward to more spring-like weather and warmer temps. 25° here today!<br /><br />Susan B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16844195949158043657noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548573840155817189.post-90662027459902535012014-01-23T15:18:00.000-09:002014-01-23T15:18:19.749-09:00Throwback ThursdayNo time for a real post, but why not a Throwback Thursday photo, or two?!<br />

I don't know where the time has gone. Summer flew by in a flash. We are full on into fall here, leaves changing, rain, snow on the mountain tops (and rapidly moving down the mountain), and we had our first frost here last night.<br />

I hope to get back into more regularly blogging and getting caught up on things I had wanted to share...pictures, recipes, and I know I made at least one bento this summer! And just think of all of the dog pictures I have to share! With winter coming I hope to make more bentos so we can get out during the daylight hours and not spend a ton on eating lunches out. <br />

She was a great kitty for many years. She lived with (and trained) four of our dogs over the years and one that we fostered for a summer. We all miss her dearly.<br />
(photos in no particular order, just some of my favorites)<br />

This month I received a box of goodies from Kate in Texas. I love that I was matched with someone from Texas and she sent some local goodies. Brought back great memories of visiting my grandparents in San Antonio and going to college in East Texas. Thanks Kate!!<br />

<br />
Yes, that does say Moonshine! It's concentrated sweet tea. Taste's just like a Southern Grandma made it!<br />
<br />
<br />
If you want to join in the fun of Foodie Pen Pals here's the info:<br />
<br />
<strong>Here’s a detailed explanation of the program:</strong><br />
<br />
-On the <strong>5th of the month</strong>, you will receive your
penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your
penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you
might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.<br />
<br />
-You will have until the <strong>15th of the month</strong> to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the <strong>last day of the month</strong>, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!<br />
<br />
-The boxes are to be filled with <strong>fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats</strong>! <strong>The spending limit is $15</strong>. <strong>The box must also include something written.</strong> This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!<br />
<br />
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items
depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about
flat rate boxes!)<br />
<br />
-Foodie Penpals is <strong>open to blog readers as well as bloggers</strong>.
If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you can choose to
write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about
what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to
worry about writing a post for that month.<br />
<br />
- Foodie Penpals is open to US, Canadian residents & UK residents. <br />
<br />
<strong>Please
note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only.
We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying
to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and
vice versa. So, I’m going to keep two separate lists and match US w/ US
and Canada w/ Canada! </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>***If you’re in the UK, please contact Carol Anne from <a href="http://thisisrocksalt.com/" target="_blank">This Is Rock Salt</a> at rocksalt@thisisrocksalt.com to get involved!</strong>Susan B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16844195949158043657noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548573840155817189.post-12705012830575755002012-11-29T16:07:00.003-09:002012-11-29T16:07:45.496-09:00Photo FridayLast Friday, November 23, 2012, about 9:00 am on our way to Anchorage for a little non-combat Black Friday shopping, hanging out, and lunch. It was our annual "Saturday after Thanksgiving" shopping day, a day early due to conflicting work schedules. More photos from that day soon.<br />

My poor neglected blog. I know it's not Friday but I had to go ahead and post this. It has been almost a month since Halloween and I'm just now getting around to sharing these photos. They have actually been in my drafts folder for almost that long and I just completely forgot they were there.<br />
<br />
Our vet's office and local newspaper had Halloween pet photo contests, so I entered a couple of photos. I thought this one turned out cute. That is Neptune in the front (a grape) and Panda in the back (a pumpkin but she had already ditched the hat). They are pretty good sports about it all.<br />

Sometime in the last couple of years Neptune started barking and attacking the vacuum, and broom, and mop. He's not picky. Here he is waiting for the vacuum to make its move.<br />

This last one is a little hard to make out, but there is thick heavy frost on all the trees. This was a few weeks back as well. We've had a cold winter so far, but no real snow.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />Just a quick shot of a couple of bento lunches I made a week or two ago. Seems like forever, things have just been so busy lately.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">We both had turkey sandwiches on bagel thins, carrots, and a cookie! We split the hummus with carrots to dip, and I had an Asian pear and some Weight Watchers Harvest Grain crackers. They are my new favorite.</span>Susan B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16844195949158043657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548573840155817189.post-82930097501629025562012-10-07T12:54:00.000-08:002012-10-07T12:54:25.539-08:00Pumpkin Zucchini Bread with Chocolate ChipsI came up with this recipe after looking at several different recipes

This is a delicious bread to have with your morning latte. I like mine lightly toasted. Using applesauce in place of the oil cuts down on the fat and the pumpkin & zucchini are just plain good for you! And of course you can't go wrong with the addition of the mini chocolate chips!<br />
<br />
Did anyone else over-stock on canned pumpkin when
there was talk of a shortage last year? I still have at least 4 cans to
use. We'll be making this bread often! <br />

<b>Pumpkin Zucchini Bread with Chocolate Chips</b><br />
Serves: 32 | WW PointsPlus 3 per slice<br />
2 regular sized loaves* or 4 mini loaves<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
1 egg<br />
2 egg whites<br />
1 1/2 cups sugar<br />
1 cup canned pumpkin<br />
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla<br />
3 cups flour<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1/2 teaspoon baking powder<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice<br />
1 1/2 cups grated zucchini<br />
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour two loaf pans. (I use PAM for baking)<br />
<br />
Shred zucchini and squeeze in paper towel to removed excess moisture.<br />
<br />
Mix together egg, egg whites, and sugar. Add vanilla, pumpkin, and applesauce. Mix well.<br />
<br />
Stir together dry ingredients and slowly incorporate into wet ingredients. Mix well.<br />
<br />
Stir in zucchini and mini chocolate chips. Divide evenly between loaf pans. Bake 50 minutes or until done. Cool 10 minutes in pans then remove to wire rack to cool completely.<br />
<br />
*once cooled I like to cut each large loaf in 1/2 and keep individually wrapped in the freezer so we don't eat it all at once!<br />
The mini loaves are the perfect size for gifting to friends & neighbors.Susan B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16844195949158043657noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548573840155817189.post-267548394949683282012-10-01T00:00:00.000-08:002012-10-01T00:00:01.038-08:00September Foodie Pen Pals!<div align="center">

This month I was matched up to receive a box from Jenny in California. She said when she saw I was from Alaska she immediately thought "oh that's sad, they don't have Trader Joe's in Alaska." That's right, we don't have TJ's here and I really wish we did! I love that place and try to stock up on my faves (non-perishables) when I go out of state. Jenny was nice enough to send me a Taste of Trader Joe's. Some of her favorite things for me to taste.<br />

Jenny wrote me a very nice note (on adorable Girl Scout cookie stationary!) detailing what every item was and how best to enjoy it. Unfortunately two of the items didn't arrive in one piece. I was sad to see a cracked chocolate coffee grinder thing and shattered jar of cookie butter. I've heard such good things about this stuff I'm going to have to get my hands on some somehow...<br />

<br />
The goods:<br />
-Vegetable Pasta <br />
-Edemame Crackers<br />
-Black Bean Dip<br />
-Eggplant Garlic Spread<br />
-Snap pea Crisps<br />
-Sugar, chocolate, coffee grinder<br />
-Chocolate Covered Mint Espresso Beans<br />
-Cookie Butter<br />
<br />
So far, everything I've tried has been super yummy. I still need to break open the eggplant garlic stuff, and cook up the veggie pasta, but that will be SOON! I really love the edemame crackers. Theya re so light and crispy. And yes, those snap pea crisps (somehow not in the photo) are like crack. I've gotten them a time or 2 before and always eat more than I mean to.<br />
<br />
If you're interested in joining up for Foodie Penpals head over to the <a href="http://www.theleangreenbean.com/foodie-penpals/">Lean Green Bean</a>. Lindsay hosts a great party. Here's more information.<br />
<br />
=========================================================<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Here’s a detailed explanation of the program:</strong><br />
<br />
-On the <strong>5th of the month</strong>, you will receive your
penpal pairing via email. It will be your responsibility to contact your
penpal and get their mailing address and any other information you
might need like allergies or dietary restrictions.<br />
<br />
-You will have until the <strong>15th of the month</strong> to put your box of goodies in the mail. On the <strong>last day of the month</strong>, you will post about the goodies you received from your penpal!<br />
<br />
-The boxes are to be filled with <strong>fun foodie things, local food items or even homemade treats</strong>! <strong>The spending limit is $15</strong>. <strong>The box must also include something written.</strong> This can be anything from a note explaining what’s in the box, to a fun recipe…use your imagination!<br />
<br />
-You are responsible for figuring out the best way to ship your items
depending on their size and how fragile they are. (Don’t forget about
flat rate boxes!)<br />
<br />
-Foodie Penpals is <strong>open to blog readers as well as bloggers</strong>.
If you’re a reader and you get paired with a blogger, you can choose to
write a short guest post for your penpal to post on their blog about
what you received. If two readers are paired together, neither needs to
worry about writing a post for that month.<br />
<br />
- Foodie Penpals is open to US, Canadian residents & UK residents. <br />
<br />
<strong>Please
note, Canadian Residents will be paired with other Canadians only.
We’ve determined things might get too slow and backed up if we’re trying
to send foods through customs across the border from US to Canada and
vice versa. So, I’m going to keep two separate lists and match US w/ US
and Canada w/ Canada! </strong><br />
<br />
<strong><strong>***If you’re in the UK, please contact Carol Anne from <a href="http://thisisrocksalt.com/" target="_blank">This Is Rock Salt</a> at rocksalt@thisisrocksalt.com to get involved!</strong> </strong>Susan B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/16844195949158043657noreply@blogger.com2
