Tom’s Ohio Shredded Chicken Sandwiches

in Good eats on November 11, 2013 January 1, 2015

Most Buckeyes are familiar with the shredded chicken sandwich. It makes an appearance at most small town football and basketball concession stands, as well as, festivals and arts and craft shows. It is definitely not a delicacy concocted from fine ingredients. It is one of those plain old Midwestern comfort foods that can be easily whipped up by just about anyone.

I am grateful for my father’s memories as a veteran of WWII #attitudeofgratitude

in Life vision on November 11, 2013 January 1, 2015

Today I am grateful for the memories my father, Jokie Bilcze, shared in my youth of his time in the Army and WWII. He was extremely proud of his service which was evidenced by this photo. He had the emblem of the Sixth Armored Division painted on a stone on our fireplace. My siblings and I were young and often did not appreciate the stories….

I am grateful for my four furry kids; without them there would be much more room in the bed and a much cleaner house 🙂 #attitudeofgratitude

Strategies for maintaining a healthy life through the holidays

in Living healthy on November 7, 2013 January 1, 2015

In the northern states, leaves and temperatures are falling. Jackets are giving way to sweaters and coats. Comfort food and casseroles take the place of healthier lighter meals. Winter holidays that celebrate excess food and drink are approaching fast. The north is preparing for winter hibernation.
