Apologies for My Absence

Hi Everyone,

I'd like to apologize for my 2 month absence. I've had a rough time.
I've been ill and have been to the ER and have missed some days from work.
Due to my lack of a thyroid my medication was too low of a dosage and it was making me ill.
It hasn't been easy. I hope you can forgive me.

Also my dear sweet little fluffles  our American Eskimo pup Luna hasn't been feeling well either she's had a double ear infection and hasn't been the most well behaved patient. She's only 15 pounds but she's very strong and has had to be muzzled since she's in so much pain that she tries to nip. My dad likes to joke and tell her she looks like "El Diablo" while I've been referring to her as Hannibal whenever she's had to put the muzzle on when we clean her ears and administer her ear drops. She's one grumpy little girl.

To add to the problems I also have to have my oven repaired. The stove portion of it works but the actual oven does not, it's a gas oven and I think it's the pilot light that's not working. Not having an oven has made cooking very interesting. The oven broke on the day I was making pizzas from scratch, dough, the sauce, it was great.....but soon as I was ready to put them into the oven I realized it wasn't preheating at all. That was the day I forced myself to learn how to grill a pizza on a small charcoal grill. And don't let anyone tell you that you can't grill a casserole it can be done.

I'd like to say I have a few things planned that I'll be sharing soon. I have a Japanese cabbage roll recipe in the works, along with a few other recipes.

Update on my weight loss plans and goals....I've failed due to my health problems in fact I think I've sadly gained but since I'm starting to feel better I'll be working on improving and hopefully can give you a positive update one of these days.

Please check back soon as I'll have recipes for you soon within a week or so.
Once again I apologize for my absence.

Thank you for being patient.

Lots of love,
Caroline
