I am highly sensitive to chemicals, so I was needing to find a method that worked so I could begin cleaning my oven before we move out. We just sold our home & I want the new buyers to have a nice clean oven when they move in.
I used the method of cutting up lemons, putting them in a pot of water, placing it in the oven at 350° for about an hour and a half, let it cool. I then made this paste of baking soda, white vinegar and hydrogen peroxide to scrub the inside. The idea is to soften all of the baked on crud so it’s easier to get off. So far I am impressed!

This is something completely new for us! My son Door Dashed gifted us an excellent Christmas Eve Brunch from a local restaurant! He chose the menu items and we thoroughly enjoyed it! On top of the generous tip my son gave, we also tipped the driver extra since he had to drive up a snowy hill to deliver to us! The coffee was a Hot Buttered Cinnamon Roll Latte. Photos below. Yummo!
I cored and peeled some of our homegrown tomatoes and sauteed them in olive oil with a little garlic & salt to make a simple sauce. Of course, I could not resist slicing up a tomato, laying it on toasted sourdough with some mayo and swiss cheese. Yum!
This is our 2nd growing season after moving here to Idaho. We are still on a learning curve, working with the climate, but we are getting a bumper crop of tomatoes this year. We also managed a small harvest of potatoes, onions and herbs as well. Unfortunately, the grasshoppers are constantly munching on our basil, thyme & blueberry bushes.
