School has begun, and already I’m falling into the trap of opting for the easy way out when it comes to making dinner. We’ve eaten out way too much and I’ve not stuck to my menu plan. I need to take more time when planning out my weekly menu and think about each evening carefully. ...
Chicago Vacation :: For Spring Break 2014 we took the kids to Chicago for three nights and four days. We crammed as much fun as we could into those four days and had adventures all over the Windy City. I’m going to share our adventures with you in a series of installments so you can...
The closer we get to fall the more tomatoes I’m seeing in my CSA produce share! I’m finding any way I can to incorporate fresh tomatoes into our menu lately, because they are just so very tasty this time of year. I’ll chop them up and add them pizzas, make sandwiches out of them, create...
The dog days of summer are starting to get on my nerves. I’m ready for fall! I’m ready for cooler weather, falling leaves and best of all, the one true sign of fall for our family: The Old West Festival. Each year in Williamsburg, Ohio a small town from years yonder comes to life and...

Sadly, Main Bite has closed it’s doors! The older kids went back to school last week, and to celebrate a couple of friends and I met for lunch at Main Bite in the MainStrasse Village in Covington. I have to say that Main Bite has been on my list of restaurants to try since...
Another Monday, another Menu Plan. I’m sharing what we ate last week, but I’ve been a slacker and I’m still trying to figure out what we are going to eat THIS week at home! Eek! I’m usually better prepared than this. I guess that today will have to be a “leftover” day or “eat whatever...
Lunch packing has been the norm in our family since Ella started Kindergarten in 2008. I used to make lunches for all of the kids and sometimes Michael too, but for the past year or so the job of lunch-packing has been delegated to the children. The kids are 11, 9, 7 and 4 and...
We had some GREAT eats last week! I highly recommend that you pin some of the recipes I’ve linked below (especially the one for Truffle Fries…oh. my. word.). And for even more menu plan inspiration visit my Recipe Archives or OrgJunkie’s Menu Plan Monday Roundup. Now that school is going to be starting back this...
