It's my last normal(ish) menu plan for a while, since next week will begin our baseball season. Honestly . . . I'm looking forward to baseball because it is such a fun time of year. And it also means PICNIC SEASON! Our local Little League plays their games on weeknights, so there are many nights when we're gone from 5:45 until well after … [Read more...]
My Secret Ingredient
I have a secret ingredient. I add it at the end of ever-so-many of our favorite recipes. When a dish is missing something . . . I add a dash of garlic salt. Just a dash, because any measured amount would be too much. In the picture, I'm adding it to ground beef that we put on homemade pizza. Have you ever had homemade pizza that tasted … [Read more...]
Monday Night Supper (and a 3 Day $3 e-book sale)
I know there are many people who survive in the kitchen by serving certain meals on certain days of the week. Generally, we don't do this, but lately Monday has become our Chicken and Veggies night. After our Two Weeks of Only Fruits and Veggies a while back, we decided to make at least one meal a week that was primarily fresh fruits/veggies … [Read more...]
Grubby Little Hands
If you're new around here, you might not know that I'm also a germaphobe. It doesn't make sense, I know. You can read that post linked above to see my attempt to explain. Anyway, as someone who has unintentionally dieted after seeing a not-guaranteed-to-be-perfectly-sanitized hand reach into a bag of my favorite chips or candy . . . I like to … [Read more...]
Quick (But Awesome!) Parmesan Bread
I don't serve bread every time we have spaghetti, but if I'm in the mood for some loudly-proclaimed-expressions-of-love-and-appreciation, I know that some kind of buttery bread will always do the trick. This "recipe" is one of our favorites. And it's quick. And easy. A win-win-win. Ingredients: One (or two) cans of biscuits 1/4 … [Read more...]
Ten Things I Learned in our Two Weeks of All Veggies
I'm going to eat a bowl of Cheerios tomorrow morning! If you read last week's menu plan or were part of the dinnertime discussions on my Facebook page last week, perhaps you understand what a big deal that is. Today (Sunday) is the last day of our two-week Crazy Diet/Liver Cleanse/Horrible Thing I Thought Would Never Be Over. For the past … [Read more...]
Our Second Week of Veggie Overload
In last week's menu plan, I didn't mention that the meals were actually what I was planning for the kids and that Hubby and I were going on what I call a Crazy Diet. Really, it's a liver-cleanse-thing his doctor recommended where we eat only fruits and veggies. For two whole weeks. I didn't mention it because I was in a rather bad mood about … [Read more...]
Mediocre Cheesy Potato Soup
At 5:17 yesterday, I wandered into the kitchen, suffering from the munchies and completely unaware of the time. Hubby asked if I was making supper. I looked at him like he was crazy. I mean, it was nowhere near time to think about supper . . . right? Except that 5:17 kind of is time to at least think about it. I had no concept of time … [Read more...]
My Menu Plan (LOTS and Lots of Chicken)
I didn't order any Zaycon chicken when it came to town recently because I thought I still had plenty. Then, as I was adding (many) bags of pre-cooked ground beef to my upright freezer, I started to panic when I realized I maybe should have ordered another forty pounds. I was down to only five meals worth of chicken!!! Panic . . . because … [Read more...]
