We are preparing to delve into the world of homeschooling this year. We've felt the need to homeschool for years but were never in a position to be able to until now. So we won't have the hustle and bustle of trying to get out the door in time to meet the bus this year. … Continue reading Sometimes Grab and Go is a Blessing- Chocolate Chip Muffins

I’ve Added a New Feature!
I've had some requests for a "print recipe" feature, so I looked around and found one of those! You can now find a new button on each post. It's labeled "print and PDF" and it can be found at the very bottom of each post along with the sharing buttons. You're welcome and thanks for … Continue reading I’ve Added a New Feature!
I Just Want It To Be Easy!!- Chicken Crescent Casserole
I haven't been blogging much lately. Too much life getting in the way. Too many things that just haven't gone right. Too many things that have just been... complicated. I wish sometimes that things could just be easy. Easy to get done. Easy to go through. Easy to figure out. But that's not how life … Continue reading I Just Want It To Be Easy!!- Chicken Crescent Casserole
You Must Think I’m Out of My Mind!- “Rotisserie” Chicken
I've never been one to keep my opinions on the costs of store bought foods to myself. I fully believe that with a few basic ingredients, the know-how, and a little time, you can make those things at home- usually with better results. There are few departments in the store that illustrate that better than … Continue reading You Must Think I’m Out of My Mind!- “Rotisserie” Chicken
Outsmart the Winter Wind- Creamy Chicken and Bacon Soup
I'm originally from Indiana, where it's crazy humid. I grew up in the mountains of Northern Colorado, where the winters are long, crazy cold & windy. So I figured I knew what I was getting into when we moved to South Dakota. Turns out I didn't quite have it all figured out. The combination of … Continue reading Outsmart the Winter Wind- Creamy Chicken and Bacon Soup
You’ll Probably End Up Sick- Chicken Garlic Soup
It's that time of year again; the weather is getting cooler (well... it is here, anyway), school is back in session, and pretty soon it will be time to close the windows up for cold weather. All of that adds up to one thing: outbreaks of cold & flu bugs. While it's true that people … Continue reading You’ll Probably End Up Sick- Chicken Garlic Soup
Autumn Is Coming, Bringing Sports With It- Chili for Hot Dogs
I've certainly made no secret of my love for Autumn here on this blog and in life in general. However, that love doesn't carry over to the sports that come with it. Well, one sport in particular: American football. It's not that I'm against sports entirely; I'm not. Rugby is awesome, soccer is pretty damn … Continue reading Autumn Is Coming, Bringing Sports With It- Chili for Hot Dogs
Don’t You Dare Call It SOS- Sausage Gravy
Let me be perfectly clear: this is not SOS (Sh*t On a Shingle for those not in the know). I've had some try to call it that and I set them straight immediately. They have not made that particular mistake again. SOS is what you get out of desperation when all you have to work with is … Continue reading Don’t You Dare Call It SOS- Sausage Gravy
Summer Sucks XIII: No Panini Grill Required!- Pressed Sandwiches
It's been hot again lately. Really hot. Because the air conditioner is no longer functioning. And it's been in the high 90's outside again, therefore it's been in the mid-80's to low 90's inside. Sigh. Summer sucks. So I've been trying to keep meals on the cool side of the spectrum. But I also know … Continue reading Summer Sucks XIII: No Panini Grill Required!- Pressed Sandwiches
Making A Good Thing Even Better- Sausage Pancakes
Oh, what a joy it would be to have a planned hiatus. That would mean that I have things all together and events would unfold according to my plans. Alas, that is not the story of my life currently. But I'm working on it. So I have been absent from the blogging scene- not by choice, really. … Continue reading Making A Good Thing Even Better- Sausage Pancakes
