I've posted this recipe before. But it was an afterthought within a menu plan. This recipe deserves to be the star of its own post. If you're a regular reader, you know that I lived in Thailand. Which is in Asia. I don't know that I ate much salad there. I think the idea is that the flavors are Asian, not that it's an authentically Asian … [Read more...]
Pizza Snowballs (A Pizza Pocket Recipe Kids Can Make) – And a Post-Vacation Menu Plan
I’m writing this as we drive home from Disney World. Before we left, we had our final picnic supper for baseball season, and the unanimously requested repeat meal was Pizza Pockets! But it’s summer, and I was packing for our trip, and I just didn’t have it in me to make even the easy-recipe dough from scratch. So I adjusted an idea I’d heard … [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...]
Spaghetti Pie – And a Challenge to Procrastinate on Doing Dishes
Recently, through My Blog Spark, I agreed to take Cascade Complete's 24 Hour Challenge. The challenge was to cook something especially messy, and then not do the dishes for 24 hours. Mmmmm, I can totally do that. I could go 48, or even 72 . . . and never break a sweat. They sent me this pretty white casserole dish in the picture. Ha! A … [Read more...]
Picnic Ideas – Pizza Pockets
One more week of baseball has been checked off the calendar.As promised, I'm sharing our picnic suppers from the previous week with my Menu Plan Monday post. Last week, for our five-hours-straight-of-games night, we had pizza pockets, warm out of the oven and wrapped in foil. They were a huge hit! The how to: First, remove from the fridge the … [Read more...]
Apple Juice Popsicles that Kids Can Make
I've been overly cranky lately, and some of it has to do with feeling overwhelmed. In times like these, I tend to not do a lot of creative things with the kids. If the table is messy, or the supplies aren't handy, time slips by and the guilt can build up. But this little project is quick and easy. It was my daughter's idea. I'm pretty … [Read more...]
Another Version of My BBQ Chicken Sandwich Recipe
I honestly feel bad calling this a recipe. We love BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, which I generally make in a crockpot. I love them because they are so easy, and are a great way to guarantee eating at home on a day when I'm feeling the I'm-not-gonna-wanna-cook-tonight-vibe coming on early in the day. But, sometimes . . . even when they're on the … [Read more...]
Round Steak Crock Pot Recipe
Creative title, huh? I'm not feeling terribly inspired in these few moments that I have between getting home from a crazy day out, and leaving to pick up the boys from school, so I thought I'd post the recipe for round steak in the crock pot that several of you recently requested. It's not much of a "recipe." It's a … [Read more...]
