Ugh. Is it Monday? Sigh. I guess that means Spring Break is over. Back to real life again. Good thing I took some time on Saturday to plan out my menus for the week – I think I’m going to need all the help I can get. SuperMan is working long hours and I’ll be … Continue reading »

Heaven in a cookie
A friend of mine made these cookies a few weeks ago. It was love at first bite for me. Seriously. I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to restrain myself. They were SO good. So, of course, I got the recipe. And tried to figure out when I’d have a good excuse to … Continue reading »
Wonderful Waffles for Supper
I’ve gotten on a “breakfast for dinner” kick. It’s super easy, inexpensive, and lets you enjoy some breakfast-y things that you would not normally have time to make during the week at breakfast time. Like waffles. You see, I’m not a morning person. Never have been. And so, my kids suffer at breakfast because I’m … Continue reading »
Menu Plan Monday: Trying new things
I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately with regards to cooking. Not really in the mood to cook the “same old same old” and not really up to trying a bunch of time-intensive new recipes. I’ve really been in the mood for quick and simple, you know what I mean? But I spent … Continue reading »
Comfort Food at it’s Best: Chicken & Dumplings
Y’all, I am really here. I promise. It’s been one of those weeks (again) – Big Girl is sick – 100+ fevers for three days now. I’ve been sick. Work is crazy. Life is nuts. But we’re surviving, we’re hangin’ in there. I’m just remembering my priorities and focusing on those and letting the rest … Continue reading »
Baked Ravioli
Well, that was fun (not) – I’ve been sick for the past two days with a stomach bug – the kind that reminded me of the worst morning sickness days of my pregnancies. I lived off of saltine crackers, plain bagels and ginger ale for two and a half days. Not sure if it … Continue reading »
Cast Iron Skillet “Shepherd’s Pie”
My girls love “shepherd’s pie.” Well, they love the shepherd’s pie that I make for them which has no vegetables in it. Which, to me, is not really shepherd’s pie. No matter what they say. However, the “shepherd’s pie” that I make for them is an adaptation of one of my favorite things my mom … Continue reading »
Spinach Artichoke Pasta with Grilled Chicken
This was one of my recent recipe experiments thanks to Pinterest. I stumbled across the recipe and thought it was worth a try given that we all love Spinach Artichoke appetizer at restaurants. I have to say, this one didn’t disappoint. It was really, really good. So much so that Big Girl decided to have … Continue reading »
Bourbon Street Chicken
With the new schedule for the girls’ schools and after-school activities, I’m on the hunt for some new, easy recipes to cook. The after-school schedule is different enough that I’m having to get creative with some dinner routines. I’m shooting for 6:00 for suppertime, but that doesn’t work on the nights that Big Girl … Continue reading »
Pesto Palooza
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend. We did. It was full of friends and fun – and a little date night for SuperMan and I as well. So nice. We went to a local German restaurant and the food was incredible. We enjoyed our dinner so much, lingering over our food … Continue reading »
