Did you watch the Olympics? I only clicked on links that showed pics of the “toilet” situation and Bob Costas’ pink eyes… Then it reminded me of a recipe… My BFF married into a family that actually has a “secret” family recipe. One day during a “play” date, she (the BFF) was talking about how she … Continue reading
We are all freezing here! The cold air hurts your skin. We needed a stick to your ribs, warm you from the inside out dinner. I want to make Chicken and Dumplings. We are trying to be thrifty this month. I used 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this dinner and it feeds 4 just … Continue reading
I picked this at the grocery this week. This was a friday night regular at our house when I was a kid and I thought it would be fun. So it is time for dinner and I realize…I don’t have any pans. I mean I used all my cookie sheets and pizza pans for the … Continue reading
“Mom I’m hungry” I hear that before I even get the dishes done. I have 3 thriving, nourished, spoiled, healthy sons. I am blessed. Blessed to have things some women never dream of. Clean water, a home, medicine and food. Our church had a fundraiser last week for this wonderful charity fmsc.org. A raffle and … Continue reading
When I visit a Chinese buffet (which admittedly is quite often, especially when my msg levels feel dangerously low) I head straight for those long, seasoned, glistening green beans.

Coffee Braised Bottom Round Roast Beef 3-5 lb bottom round roast … Continue reading
On a cold and dreary winter day a savory, hot bowl of soup makes dinner feel comforting. I know, you’re not supposed to use food for comfort, its only purpose it to fuel your body (envision me rolling my eyes). I’m on the mend and soup is what I’m a cravin’. This recipe is nothing … Continue reading
I live in Wisconsin, (insert cheese joke here). I guess one of the best things about being surrounded by dairy cows, “the ladies” as we call them on the way to and from school is milk–and one of the best things you can make with milk is CHEESE! Around here there is cheddar so sharp … Continue reading
When I had but one son, we lived in a wonderful neighborhood and playdates happened. My house, their house, a park or a playground. Sometimes I would make a fancy, yummy lunch for us Mommies and nugs or mac and cheese for the kids and great times were had by all. We got so good … Continue reading
I am lucky to have some amazing in-laws. We are a close-knit family and like to have fun and celebrate together. When my M-I-L’s birthday rolled around last week, we let her decide on what to do – nice dinner out, shopping, spa day? She decided on a bonfire and weeny roast with the fam (one … Continue reading
