Roasted potatoes

FoodNetwork
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes in half or quarters and place in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic; toss until the potatoes are well coated. Transfer the potatoes to a sheet pan and spread out into 1 layer. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until browned and crisp. Flip twice with a spatula during cooking in order to ensure even browning.
Remove the potatoes from the oven, toss with parsley, season to taste, and serve hot.

I served with Bacon Quiche

Pie Dough Recipe

Martha Stewart Makes 2 nine inch crusts

Serve with Bacon Quiche or any pie recipe


  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (half white and half wheat), plus more for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 and half sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1/4c olive oil (3/6/17 when I added oil it stopped the dough from being crumbly, it was a smooth liquid dough)
  • 1T-1/4c water (you decide how much it needs) 3/6/17 I didn't add any water b/c it was already liquidy from the oil.
  1. In a food processor, combine flour, salt, and sugar; pulse to combine. Add butter; pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  2. Sprinkle with 1T-1/4 cup ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to cup more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time). Do not overmix.
  3. Transfer half of dough (still crumbly) onto a piece of plastic wrap. Form dough into a disk 3/4 inch thick; wrap tightly in plastic. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (and up to 3 days). Repeat with remaining dough.
  4. Place one disk of dough on a lightly floured piece of waxed paper/plastic wrap. Rolling from center outward, form into a 14-inch round. Using paper, lift and wrap dough around a floured rolling pin; carefully unroll (discarding paper) over a 9-inch pie plate.
  5. Gently fit dough into bottom and sides of plate. Avoid stretching or tearing dough. Using kitchen shears, trim overhang to 1 inch; fold under to form a rim. Crimp with fingertips and knuckle. Repeat with remaining disk of dough.
Freeze the extra pie crust for a dessert or quiche.

1 Next time if you want normal crumbly dough use 1 c or 2 stick of butter and not olive oil.

Pink Eye

10/22/18 Here we got again. I was totally off my prevention plan this round.
      This time pink eye started with lily. We should have barricaded her to her room to stop the spreading of the sickness, but we didn't. So then 7 days later I got it, 4-5 days after I contracted it then Chloe and dad got it.

3/16/17
The PLAN-
1.  Every 1-2 hours     Drop breastmilk in eyes or colloidal silver
2.  SANITIZE- In a spray bottle, Continually be sanitizing Mix water with equal parts of  rubbing alcohol, or I've heard Onguard essential oil is suppose to be a disinfectant
3. ESSENTIAL OILS- diluted (with olive oil or fractionated coconut oil) oregano or tea tree and put on everyone's feet or ingest it if you can handle it.
4. ROOM- Make them stay in the same room and not leave, thats how the sickness spreads to others when they walk through the house.
5. GLOVES- When I go into their room and give them food, give vitamins, put oil on feet, or put stuff in the eyes- wear any type of plastic protective gloves (whether dish washing kitchen gloves or throw away plastic medical gloves).
6. IMMUNE STRENGTHENER- When sick- grape seed extract 3x's a day or a liquid concoction called Anti-Bio (4-5x's a day when fighting something, one time a day when healthy and in the winter, give body a rest when healthy.  When you feel something coming- sore throat then start up again)
7. VITAMIN D3- one dose in fall/winter every day, when sick 2x's a day

     The first 2 days I wan't thinking so clearly and wasn't as proactive.  So I just kept her in the tub, with green smoothies and the laptop with movies playin on a stool by the tub, so she'd stay in the tub. I put epsom salts and lavender in the tub.  I didn't plan this out but, this was the first time with 3 kids that she stayed in from 9/10am-3pm when the other girls came home from school, that was wonderful and amazing for me to get a HUGE break and she was happy too.
       After relying on the tub I could tell the pink eye wasn't really improving. So I had to think about this, "What have I done before that worked?"  Time to Use my brain. When Chloe was born in 2011, while we were living in the Falls Apts, Katie got pink eye.  I used oil after oil, diffused it, rubbed it on her feet, put it in the tub, tried to have her drink some diluted but none of that was working.  I was at my limit and feeling exhausted. So after a few days of oils not working, I googled "Natural remedies for pink eye"  I found one mom who swore by using breast milk and putting it in their eyes. Initially super duper weird and it didn't feel quite right but I didn't want to take her to the dr, so I had the tools I needed, lets get to work. So I tried it and there was noticeably improvement.  I think I probably squirted it straight from my breast into her eye every hour the first day and used a tissue to clean up the eye puss.
      I think I remember Lily getting it also thereafter. To make it less weird I pumped milk before, so we could put it in her eye.  One time I remembered I had frozen breast milk in the freezer so I warmed it up in hot water and poured it on. But I noticed how it significantly wasn't as powerful as the real stuff.  Freezing the milk must kill some of the punching power.  The pumped milk did work just fine though.
     So  currently I am not pregnant and don't have a new baby, but I did ask my 2 neighbors if they could share their milk.  Definitely Weird again, but thankfully a few months previously I relayed my pink eye/breast milk story to them so they knew the power of breast milk. One of them gave me some.
     Phew.... I was so grateful to have the milk.  Every 1-2 hours, I put it drop by drop on her eyes like I had with my previous two kids.  The first 3 times it didn't really look like it was helping improve the eyes.  But as I kept it up by the evening she wasn't having any goop come out of her eyes, AMAZING!!!!!  Every time I was putting milk in her eyes, I diluted tea tree around her eyes like a racoon (not close to her eyes) and I massaged diluted tea tree with olive oil on her 2nd and 3rd toes b/c apparently the toes are connected to all areas of your body.  When she went to bed at nite I put a damp rag on her face over her eyes to help calm the gunk get cleared up.  I put a small bowl by her bed so she could dunk it in the bowl to get it wet again.
    By the following day, she still had some redness on her eyeballs but there was no goop coming out and she was in such a better temperament and behavior.
    The whole time while she was sick I was attempting to sanitize everything she was coming in contact with so none of us got it.  I use a mixture of equal parts of  rubbing alcohol and water in a small spray bottle.  Rubbing alcohol is suppose to kill germs. You could use any disinfectant or other essential oils (that kill germs) diluted with water.  I used multiple different rags every day to keep from spreading the bug. So I was doing lots of rag and towel laundry at the same time, to keep things clean.
     I didn't do this but, its a good idea to prevent the spread of sickness to everyone in your family apply at least once or twice a day by either using diluted (with olive oil) oregano or tea tree and put on everyone's feet or ingest it if you can handle it.
