Taking on Kale

Kale dinner
October 10, 2020October 24, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I've been getting a produce box since May, so I've had the benefit of eating much more seasonally. There are some items that seem to always be available, but I've already been overloaded with winter vegetables. I used to only use kale to make kale chips but with it easier to get than spinach lately … Continue reading Taking on Kale

Everything you didn't know you didn't want to know about Midnight Sun
September 6, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I read Midnight Sun...so you don’t have to. You're welcome! And by read I mean skimmed, cause it’s long and whiney, or wordy.  I am saving you so much time, pain, and frustration. Okay, you weren’t going to read it. Here’s a rundown of my thoughts on the book. The book is long It is noticeably … Continue reading I read Midnight Sun…so you don’t have to

Spring Fiction

May 16, 2020October 4, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I read three books featuring strong women. Each book is utterly unique from the other two, with interesting stories and characters, but each one memorable in its own right. All of these will stick with you in different ways and for different reasons.  Valentine by Elizabeth Wetmore Set in a small West Texas town in … Continue reading Spring Fiction

Cider Tastings: Part 1

April 19, 2020September 6, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

When I gave up gluten a couple of years ago, I was mostly upset at having to give up beer. I didn’t love cider options in bars. The average bar has one option. There are so many other options out there though — and they are good.  I wanted to start sharing what I’m trying. … Continue reading Cider Tastings: Part 1

Quarantine Reads

Quarantine Reading Suggestions
March 23, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I had a recent realization that most that I read a lot of serious books, and mostly on history. Now doesn't feel like the time for such books though. I pulled together some feel-good reads and books that are sure to make you laugh. Memoirs Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me and Why Not Me … Continue reading Quarantine Reads

Borrowing books when the library is closed

Library Apps
March 19, 2020March 19, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I've rarely bought a book in the last couple of years. While I go to my library on a somewhat regular basis, I also have been getting a lot of ebooks and audiobooks from the library. If you're new to either and in need of some reading material, here are a couple of ways to … Continue reading Borrowing books when the library is closed

Over hyped books worth the hype

Books Little Fires Everywhere Where the Crawdads Sing
March 13, 2020March 18, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I don't usually run out to grab a copy of the latest book a celebrity is talking about. Especially if that celebrity likes to buy the rights to turn them into movies in the next year. But these books, it turned out were worth the hype! Little Fires Everywhere I kept seeing a wait for … Continue reading Over hyped books worth the hype

Basecamp Doolin

March 5, 2020March 11, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I have two contradictory views of Doolin, Ireland. One version of it in my mind is that its what Disney designed to give tourists an Irish seaside town to visit that fits everything in your head about small towns in Ireland. Rolling green hills with stone walls; squat, quaint homes with horses or cattle roaming … Continue reading Basecamp Doolin

Salmon Gnocchi Bowl

Salmon Gnocchi Bowl
February 18, 2020February 17, 2020 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

There are some meals that when I describe them to people they seem grossed out. One of them includes a meal I love, that I had a lot growing up, which includes a can of creamed chicken and a can of tuna. I feel like this is one of those recipes. Stick with me here … Continue reading Salmon Gnocchi Bowl

Audiobooks Worth Turning Up

Turn up these audiobooks
September 7, 2019September 1, 2019 ~ So Maggie Says ~ Leave a comment

I tried to fill my commute with podcasts. I really tried. I found a couple I like. Literally, a couple: West Wing Weekly and The British History Podcast. Don’t worry! I can, in fact, hear you groaning about what I nerd am! I’ve tried audiobooks off and on. Usually, it’s been a result of being … Continue reading Audiobooks Worth Turning Up
