The simple life

As I sit here drinking my morning coffee, I can hear birds chirping in the tree outside our window; and besides the occasional vehicle (usually a tractor) driving by, that is all I hear! No loud sound systems in neighboring houses, no arguing neighbors yelling obscenities at each other in their front yard, not even a lawn mower.. Because around here, the lawn mowers are cows and horses! The Green Acres theme song has been playing on repeat in my head since we moved in, "farm living is the life for me. Land spreading out so far and wide, Keep Manhattan and give me that countryside!" While I've never been to New York, I can agree with that statement.. I would much rather hear nothing than to hear car horns and road noise! 

There is a down side to living in the middle of nowhere though, a lack of resources when it comes to groceries! Yes, there is a walmart and an albertsons.. But they are small with limited selections!! So for my 3 new recipes I am making today I will make due and use substitutions where necessary!! I will post again with what I made and how it turned out!!!!
