So many people I used to follow are gone or their blog left behind like an old mining town with the tumble weeds of now blowing through it. Hahahaha just like mine? So on that note GOOD MORNING! Im having a fatted coffee and my pecan pie bites for breakfast here. Ive learned to make a caramel with erythitol as it doesnt impact my blood glucose or insulin levels. Yay! I had to stop baking all the delicious sugary carbohydrate ridden things. I did myself in weight wise and blood work wise. It was a good run and Im not gonna lie. I do have a cheat here and there but it really and truly is minimal. Here is the recipe if you are interested https://www.heyketomama.com/keto-pecan-pie-clusters/. Hers are much looser and fabulously photographed. They are mighty tasty though.shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-2308430520970373912017-09-10T17:43:00.002-07:002017-09-10T17:54:57.654-07:00It's been a long while Dear blogspot and followers I do think about you so much so it has prevented me from nixing this place all together. I haven't been using tumblr very often maybe a wee more than here? That is not saying much. I do use instagram all the time. So as soon as I re-acquaint myself here I will add my instagram. I will also leave you with a photo of a cauliflower crust pizza I made earlier in the year. Looking forward to cooler days to start heating up the kitchen again. Its been brutal this summer with rain wind and many many days above the 105 f mark. So today I find myself back and am hoping for many happy returns in the future.<br />

Its lemon season here. YAY! I havent really cooked anything with them yet. I suppose my mainstay of lemons goes to salad dressing. I eat a lot of salads thus vinaigrettes. The good news is I will never suffer from scurvy. Also my elephant ear plant is on its way out and it hasnt sent up any new shoots. This makes me worry because I really love this plant. I have had it for a couple of years and Im just gonna say its gonna come back.<br />
<br />
So I havent started decorating for christmas yet. Have you? I really want to throw a small party but it seems that all swims in a theory that may never come true. <br />
<br />
Is it just me? Or do children constantly bicker? I think I may be going insane. Im constantly correcting behavior. Really Im too old for this shit but its too late right? Ugh.<br />
<br />
So its plants plants plants. The etsy lull has ended my two week hiatus. The lull never lasts long.<br />
<br />
Im hoping to get some stuff up in my art shop and have been working on paintings and collages.<br />
<br />
So yeah happy December. I hope yours goes well. shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-55478204047884268762014-12-03T16:24:00.001-08:002014-12-03T16:24:58.859-08:00Who needs a plate?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pan roasted butternut squash and apples with pecans. Actually this was pretty easy. It was a pound of squash peeled and cubed. You can use a vegetable peeler and a very sharp knife to cut it in half. Its even luckier if you can pick up a package of it already done. Also use peeled a baking apple to chop up in cubes. Next time I would use two. I roasted this on a jellyroll pan that was just barely covered in water. I cooked this at 400 F for about 20 min. The water helps to steam the squashed and the apple. I wouldnt stir with a spoon because you will smash everything. I recommend using a spatula to stir it around or flip it over. When your squash is fork tender hopefully there isnt too much water left in the pan. This is why you really dont want to add too much. You can add a little bit more if its taking a long time but its really a pain to drain it and what not. So When they are fork tender you take a mixture of 1/3 cup honey, 1/3 butter, half a teaspoon of nutmeg ( i suppose you could use olive oil too if you didnt want to use butter) and melt them in a pan. You toss this with the veg and fruit thats on the pan with about a half cup of chopped pecans and then put back in the oven for about 10 minutes. Finally you can eat this masterpiece right off the jellyroll pan or glass baking dish or whatever you used with your beloved whomever that might be. I have tried this with carrots and didnt like it so much. So yeah its time to get your squash on!shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-54012763717637819892014-11-07T12:57:00.002-08:002014-11-07T12:57:58.779-08:00days in the life of me<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I stink. I know. So essentially I am still cooking and painting a little here and there and actually carved two linoleums this past year. I also took up jogging and can pack plants up like a you know what. I just havent been photographing and actually took most of my work down from my etsy shop. I will be returning. I know that was a long hiatus. Sorry for the quality of my phone photograph. shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-59884056998584335112014-03-10T12:04:00.004-07:002014-03-10T12:07:31.491-07:00Dont have a heart attack<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="font-size: 1.167em; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-top: 12px;">
You are the daughter of the sea, oregano's first cousin.<br />
Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;<br />
cook, your blood is quick as the soil.<br />
Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.<br />
<br />
Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise;<br />
your hands go out to the earth and the seeds swell;<br />
you know the deep essence of water and the earth,<br />
conjoined in you like a formula for clay.<br />
<br />
Naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces,<br />
they will bloom resurrected in the kitchen.<br />
This is how you become everything that lives.<br />
<br />
And so at last, you sleep, in the circle of my arms<br />
that push back the shadows so that you can rest--<br />
vegetables, seaweed, herbs: the foam of your dreams</div>

scenes from this summer<br />
kim from <a href="http://jikits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">jikits</a> left a link for a post called the<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/julianna-w-miner/the-sweet-spot_b_3617506.html" target="_blank"> sweet spot</a> in one of her comments<br />
its a great read especially if you have kids<br />
time goes by so slowly yet so quickly<br />
its so easy to get distracted and frustrated<br />
so i kiss them and hug them as much as i can<br />
and try to have fun<br />
sometimes its not as easy as you would think<br />
thanks kim!!<br />

St. Anns is a small ocean front beach. I love it. My favorite is Victoria but there are no restrooms within walking distance. I adore Laguna beach.<br />
<br />
No I havent disappeared completely.<br />
I am still here.<br />
This year has been very hard for me.<br />
Essentially all of my time goes to my children and the succulent business.<br />
I am grateful.<br />
But I have felt backed up and empty creatively and without an internal push.<br />
Since December I have been quite depressed and trying to find ways to dig myself out.<br />
Time.<br />
I think I just needed time.<br />
<br />
So with that...<br />
This is where I was this morning and afternoon for about four hours.<br />
It was perfect.shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-23903452571235417802013-03-21T18:46:00.000-07:002013-03-21T18:46:17.212-07:00Watercolor paintings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

You know when I am having telephone conversations I find myself saying things like cake is really important to me. Yeah I wanna be the girl with the most cake. This mouth eats a lot of cake.

I just want to know when winter is going to be over. It has been really hard emotionally and I am ready for a change. Ready for sunshine and spring smiles. Oh I know I have it easy here in Southern California. I know. How are you all doing? I am still here. Trying to be better and trying to work on more art and cooking. Sometimes the blues last for quite a while. I am ready for this cycle to be over.shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-54532525197330094672013-02-20T11:50:00.002-08:002013-02-20T11:50:54.796-08:00Its a me montage....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We hope you have a great day. This is my favorite holiday of the year. It always has been as I love the romance of life. It has never been about romance between the sexes for me which may be why I adore it so much. Dont get me wrong though. I do enjoy romance between the sexes. These are Sophies special cards she made for her teacher and her party guests today. There will be pictures.shelliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15554982469187418402noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548902275734407489.post-7670886407712117092013-02-01T14:51:00.000-08:002013-02-01T14:54:15.126-08:00All My Heart<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
