It was suggested that I write a "normal day" type post. I totally planned to do that, but then this week happened. Not a normal day to be found. Which is pretty much normal for us. I had totally planned to share cute and funny pictures. Cute: My daughter making meatballs while I browned ten pounds of ground … [Read more...]

Picnic Idea: Chicken & Bacon Sub Sandwiches
It's picnic season again! Have you checked out my picnic ideas and recipes? Just to be clear, I'm not talking about spreading a checkered blanket on the ground and spending the afternoon searching for cloud pictures in the sky. I'm talking about portable meals that we can eat while watching my boys play baseball. These chicken and bacon … [Read more...]
One More Picnic Idea – Asian Slaw
Last week we made our annual trip to Six Flags. It was hot. Thankfully, it was fun, too. I love our mid-day trek to the shady picnic area that's just outside the park. (I also love the money we save by eating that way!) The night before, we'd had Asian Slaw for dinner. I packaged up the leftovers by putting cabbage in one … [Read more...]
Packaging Food for a Family Picnic
The vision of a Perfect Picnic generally includes an unpopulated meadow filled with (pollen-free) flowers, a red-and-white-checked tablecloth and . . . no bugs. At all. The whole family sits comfortably on the ground. No one steps on his sister's sandwich. I've never been to that kind of picnic. For us, picnic season is baseball season … [Read more...]
Picnic Ideas: Taco Salad Bags!
I loved your suggestions for picnic meals, and last Monday tried a version of the Tacos in a Bag or Frito Pie that were suggested. We . . . loved these. Here's how I made Tacos/Taco Salads for our Baseball Night Picnic: (If you're a kid and think any meal with the word "salad" in it is likely to be gross, call them Tacos in a Bag. If … [Read more...]
Picnic Ideas
It's picnic season! For us, picnic season is baseball season. With two boys each playing two evening games every week for almost two months, we could drop a lot of cash on fast food. (And gain a lot of weight!) Picnics require more planning than burgers-in-a-bag, but the family loves them and the effort is totally worth it to us! Here are … [Read more...]
Chicken and Black Bean Burritos – Picnic Recipe
Baseball season is almost over! As crazy as that time is, we're sad. When your kids love something as much as our boys love baseball, you can't help but grieve a little that another year of this phase of life has ended. I said at the beginning of the season that I was going to do a picnic series, using this blog as motivation to be creative … [Read more...]
Chicken Parmesan Sandwiches – And a Double Dose of Picnic Fun
Last Monday I admitted that I cheated by letting the little toga-guy provide our picnic supper for the week before. I more than made up for it. We had TWO picnic suppers last week. Every single baseball game was at 6:15. Although that means we can get the kids to bed almost on time, it also means that supper is crazy-rushed. On Monday, I … [Read more...]
Menu Plan Monday – And a Picnic Report
Have you been waiting by your computer to see my picnic idea from last week? Technically . . . we did have a picnic. I'm calling it that even though we ended up eating in the car after narrowly escaping a torrential downpour. And I'm calling it that even though on the nifty picnic idea I had planned. We had pizza. As in, $5 pizzas from … [Read more...]
