Oh what a week it has been! Our menu is a little bit of everything…dinners, appetizers, breakfast items…I’ve been cooking for the six of us, and cooking for parties. I made some of my very favorite recipes this week. ALSO…we had a Hot Chocolate Bar at a Christmas party at our house this weekend, and it...
When I told my mom that I was going to have my husband’s family over for Christmas she offered to give me my Nana’s coffee mugs. At first, I turned them down, as we are not big coffee drinkers and I prefer to drink out of my cherished personalized photo mugs anyway. But then I...
It’s Monday…and that means it’s time to plan our menu! Check out all these great dinners we had last week, and for even more inspiration check out OrgJunkie’s Menu Plan Monday Roundup! One thing I’ve started realizing lately that’s helping to make me feel less stressed while cooking dinner is that when I have classical...
Last night we had leftovers for dinner. Usually leftover night is met with cheers, especially on a night like last night when the leftovers were all kid friendly and some were even leftover from parties.

What I was cooking last...

A few weeks ago Tammy from Organize Yourself Skinny posted a recipe for Black Bean & Rice Quesadillas. I wasn’t that interested in having the rice on the quesadilla, and I did not have all of the ingredients on hand, so I changed things up a bit. What I did have on hand was the Black Bean...
Another week, another menu plan! I scrapped my dinner plans one night last week when I read on Facebook that my local Whole Foods had Salmon on sale. Michael and I were both wanting salmon, so I went to pick some up…it was so delicious! Sometimes you just have to scrap the plan and go...
I have been asked to take part in a Whole Foods Market Meal Plan Challenge. I have been given $200 to spend at Whole Foods Market (in Cincinnati) for one week’s worth of meals for my family of six. I am a huge fan of Whole Foods Market, I love to make healthy meals for...
Another week, another menu plan. I’ve been doing pretty good at sticking to the plan and not throwing in the towel and taking everyone out to eat dinner at a restaurant. I’ve worked hard to find the right meals for the right evenings. Some days are just too busy for cooking, so they become slow...
