A week of traditional homemaking to build positivity in the home. A grocery haul with some items to make healthier chocolate brownies as well!

I especially love your depression era ones. I only wish you would do more! I so look forward every day, hoping to find a new video from you! Thanks so much for taking the time to make these videos.

    Once again, your video is one of the bright spots of my week.❤ We buy black beans by the case from Costco, so I'll be trying this recipe on my grandchildren, who are visiting in a few weeks. After seeing your beautiful flowers, I'm going to buy some to brighten my home for the family. This week we said goodbye to our beloved Terrier, 14. It is a part of having dogs, but it never gets easier. We are a dog free home for the first time in 30 years! We make our own glass cleaner out of vinegar, rubbing alcohol and water. Your recipe is much easier and cost effective. So I will be picking up some ammonia this week. Thank you again for making such informative videos that are also beautiful to watch!!🥀🌻

    Ammonia and it's fumes are highly toxic for pets so if you have birds or any other pet you should use this when they're in another closed room. I thank you so much for these useful tips and recipes. Your videos make me happy!

    Hi Lisa, You are going to love the spiralizer! I very often spiraling zucchini and cook it in a puttanesca sauce (no pasta added, but you could actually mix it with pasta when it's done) on the range top with sliced black Olives, capers, diced tomatoes and generous good quality EVOO. It's an excellent dish for Vegan/vegetarian guests. I also have spiralized sweet potatoes, and then sprinkle them with brown sugar and some evoo and there are never leftovers of that side dish! Black bean brownies are awesome! Thank you for sharing your recipe; it's a little different from mine, so I will try it out this weekend! As always, loved your video today! Saluti da New York

    Lisa, this is a very late reply; but, I just wanted to elaborate on the spiralized sweet potatoes. 2 or 3 large sweet potatoes, scrub off/peel off skin. Cut ends flat so they fit securely onto the grippers of the machine. Spiralize on the small blade...place on larger cookie sheet lined with Parchment paper. Spray or coat evenly and generously with Extra Virgin olive oil. Sprinkle with brown sugar and toss again to coat evenly. Preheat oven to 425F....place in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Do not allow to scorch or burn. Buon'apetito e Buona Domenica delle Palme. Saluti da NY! S.gra D.

I'm excited to try those brownies. 😋 Regarding tge window cleaning solution, do you know if there's a difference between household amonia and general amonia? I have regular amonia, but planned to get rid of it because I don't use it much and I've been trying to reduce harsh/toxic chemicals. 🤷🏼‍♀️
