Here we are, halfway through the school year, and this is where things in the food department tend to grind to a crawl- if not an all out halt. I don't know about you and yours, but in my house weekday breakfasts and lunches are getting to be an unpleasant chore. I ask the kids … Continue reading So. Sick. of.

I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!
Good grief, it's been almost a year. A year!! SO MUCH has happened in that year, and I wasn't sure if I would ever get to come back. I've wanted to, but it just hasn't been in the cards until now. I wasn't sure if anyone would even care at this point if I came back. But … Continue reading I’m Alive and Kicking- Really!
Jumping on the Pumpkin Bandwagon- Pumpkin Pancakes
I'm not really one for food fads. I was tired of the make-every-food-rainbow-colored fad in super short order, the macaron fad got boring pretty quickly, and if I see one more carb dish "made over" with cauliflower (yuck!) I swear I'll scream. However, I have to say that I am totally on board with the … Continue reading Jumping on the Pumpkin Bandwagon- Pumpkin Pancakes
A Regional Favorite, My Way- Tater Tot Hot Dish
I think most of us know that every region of America has it's own "signature" dish. Texas has barbecue, New England has clam chowder, California has Mexican in the South and wine country in the north, and the Mid West has fried foods and roasted corn. But how many of you know about the "signature" … Continue reading A Regional Favorite, My Way- Tater Tot Hot Dish
Easy Printing… For Real This Time
So after being informed by my BFF that the print feature I added awhile back actually prints the entire blog post instead of only the recipe like I wanted it to, I have (with a little help from a more experienced blogger) figured out how to make only the recipe in each post printable. Yay! … Continue reading Easy Printing… For Real This Time
Awesome Beyond Words- Marinara Sauce
Ok, seriously; I cannot even begin to tell you how much I love this sauce! Remember when I told you that my husband loves my sausage gravy so much he wants to eat it in a bowl like soup? Well that's me with this sauce. And I can do that because this sauce is actually … Continue reading Awesome Beyond Words- Marinara Sauce
Sometimes Grab and Go is a Blessing- Chocolate Chip Muffins
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
Versatility is a Virtue- Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts
The last few days here in Northern Wisconsin have been just heavenly; highs in the low to mid 70's, a cool breeze all day, and chilly nights to cool the house off to be ready for the next day (saving a ton on the AC bill). This is what I envisioned summers to be up … Continue reading Versatility is a Virtue- Lemon Garlic Chicken Breasts
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
