I have a friend who taught me how to cook the very popular Bulgarian national dish Mesenitza, it's also called Tutmanik. It is bread stuffed with cheese. This is a very tasty and cheap meal. The recipe varies, but the basic ingredients are flour, yeast, oil, milk, butter, eggs, yogurt and cheese. Bulgarian cheese is called sirenje or sirene, it can be replaced with Greek feta.

The completed Pancake Muffins
Pancake MuffinsI am trying to eat healthier and to help accomplish that goal, I have been meal prepping. I still have quite a sweet tooth though. It' is hard to keep most sweet foods in the house because I' will binge on them. I found this pancake muffin recipe on Pinterest and it is the perfect sweet treat when I' am having cravings. I store the muffins in meal prep containers and freeze. When I want 1-2, I defrost & reheat in the microwave. Chocolate chip & blueberry are delicious. I look forward to trying other toppings too.

A homemade fishing lure.
Tootsie Roll Wrapper Fishing LureOnce when I went fishing, I caught a fish in the ocean using a shiny metal lure. I decided to make my own lure out of a Tootsie Roll candy wrapper with a little bit of a semi melted tootsie roll. I squished it and used the wrapper and twisted it and twisted it again and again to make a replica of a fish. Now I do not know what fish looks like a barcode but the inside liner was shiny foil like material, which I think during the day time the light to reflect off of it and produce an eye-catching lure for the fish!

A container with aquafaba.
Aquafaba Substitute for EggsAquafaba is the liquid canned chickpeas come in. You can also make your own if you cook dried chickpeas. You can use aquafaba from other beans, but chickpeas have the mildest flavor.

A plate of Stir Fried Beet Greens
Stir Fried Beet GreensMy neighbor gave us some beets from her garden, with some beautiful greens attached. We love beets but I was not sure about the beet greens. They were so pretty that I did not want to waste them so I tried stir frying them with onions. They were great! I'm ready to do this again.

A pillow in need of restuffing.
Save That Pillow CasingI have purchased several little pillows that are stuffed with tiny beads. I think the beads are Styrofoam. After several months of usage, the beads start to break down, leak out of the seams, and the pillow begins to go flat. Because of this, I have thrown some away which I felt was a big waste. The thought of saving the casing finally hit me.

Tension Rod Wall Supports
Tension Rod Wall SupportsTension rod wall supports I put up my tension rod. Twice, I hung my bags on it and it fell to the ground. I wished I had bought those screw in wall supports and then I thought I' will just go look in my plastic cap recycling bag. I found two that fit snuggly onto the ends, great! Now let's place them!

The completed crispy scrambled eggs with a dipping sauce.
Crispy Scrambled EggSome may call it omelette but in my place, we called it scrambled egg. Our mornings will never be complete without it. Today, my husband requested for a little twist on scrambled egg for a change. So I did this.

Music During Dental VisitNo one likes to go to the dentist and quite by accident, I discovered something I had done that made my visits more bearable. While waiting for my mouth to become numb, I was playing around with my phone and was listening to some music through my earbuds in high hopes it would help me relax.
