I'm not five. I promise. I just don't like onions and lots of other icky stuff in my chicken salad. But I LOVE chicken salad. It's one of the quickest and yummiest ways to use pre-cooked chicken for lunch. And the very quickest way to make it is to use JUST my one secret ingredient. Ranch dressing. Like . . . in place of … [Read more...]
Get Towels off the Floor – Cheap {Organizing} Tricks
I've been thinking about starting a new series this year called: Cheap {Organizing} Tricks So here goes. This first one isn't so much a trick, as a duh. My definition of "duh" is: Something that is so quick or easy that it makes me wonder why I didn't do it sooner. Yes. I was in Junior High in the 80s. Why do you ask? I will … [Read more...]

Hubby Has Issues Too
I knew we had too many mugs. I knew most of them came into our home through Hubby. Some were gifts from work. Some were from his (many) bachelor years. I've always known that I have issues. But I don't think I realized Hubby has them too . . . until about a month ago. At a Christmas party gag gift exchange, he chose this … [Read more...]
“Home”work Time
I have an idea in my head of a post to write about how I'm proud of myself for tackling the daily task of cleaning the kitchen (the neglected-over-the-weekend kitchen) while the kids did homework sprawled out on the floor this afternoon. See the picture? It means I really was thinking about this post. See the title? That shows some … [Read more...]
How to Stretch Leftover Pizza
I remember when we used to order one pizza and it was enough for the two of us and a toddler. It was a big deal when we realized it was time to start ordering two pizzas. Now, we usually have to add something to the meal for two to be enough. On a rare occasion, we do have a few pieces leftover. But . . . how do you serve leftover pizza as … [Read more...]
Freezer Cooking
What my husband said about me last night: "When it comes to meal planning and cooking, you're an expert." And he was serious. I don't know about you, but I absolutely glow when my husband brags on me. Here's the thing. Even though learning to wash the dishes daily was equivalent to learning a new language for me, I've always been pretty … [Read more...]
A Mess That Makes Me Smile
Hubby trimmed trees on Monday, and now we have a (taller than me) brush pile on the side of the house. We see it as we pull into the driveway, and for the past two days the kids and I have stopped to watch the birds that have turned this brush pile into a playground. (I know that the picture above only shows two birds, but that's because the … [Read more...]
The Missing Rice
At the end of a busy day, I was desperately trying to get supper together. Tuesday afternoons are always crazy as one child gets dropped off at 4:30, another gets picked up across town at 5:00, and the first gets picked up (back across town again) at 5:30. Hubby usually tries to help, but his eyes were dilated today from an eye … [Read more...]
