I dread the start of back to school each year. It is so much fun having my kids home but the one thing I will enjoy is being back on a regular schedule. I have been driving to cello camp every morning, dance classes two or three days a week (never the same days week…

Berrien County Michigan Youth Fair – Fair Food
This week is our local County Youth Fair. Last weekend we were at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee. This is a very different kind of fair. They have the rides, food and animals but they also have tractors, tractor pulls and lots of Country Music. For our area this is a nice little fair….
Old Fashioned Skillet Potatoes and Kielbasa
There are times you have to make due with what you have on hand. We are still trying to be frugal as we still have half a month left before payday and there is still so much we want to do before school starts. And there are all those pesky things you have to buy…
Slow Cooker Cowboy Beans
My slow cooker and grill are our saving grace right now. The heat is breaking and at night you can almost begin to feel that fall cooler air will be arriving soon. I love fall and all that it brings (except pumpkin spice flavored items, but that is for another day). With all our traveling…
Irish Dancing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
We are on the road again this weekend for Irish dancing. We love Milwaukee, Wisconsin! We were in our hotel room last night when some one let us know about the shooting by the police officers, the protest and the fires. We were 20 miles away and we’re safe but it all makes us sad….

Grilled Pizza Margherita with Balsamic Reduction Drizzle
I have some awesome news. If you get the Community Table in your Sunday newspaper one of my recipes should be in it either this week or next. I just got word that the pictures and layout are done and ready to print! It is a simple Pierogi and Chicken Sausage casserole (click for link to…
Egg Roll Bowl
We have our room on a separate air conditioner because our room was added on several years ago but not hooked up to the main system. So, everyone has been sleeping in our room. We are basically camping in our room. What you can’t see it that this dish was pictured on my bed. Yes,…
Grilled Chicken with Garlic Cheese Sauce
Well, our air conditioner is officially dead. We have some people coming towards the end of this week to give us quotes on a new one. We are all still sleeping in one room despite it being a bit cooler during the days. Unfortunately there are no trees around our house for natural cooling. We…
Spaghetti Sauce or Sunday Gravy
I have been thinking quite a bit about instincts lately. You know that little voice deep down inside you. Intuition. A gut feeling. Jiminy Cricket. We all have it. Sometimes we ignore it but sometimes we can’t avoid it because it keeps coming back again and again. The times I KNEW I should have turned…
Back to School
Sunday is the day I talk about my family. Who we are and why we chose to do the things we do. Yes, those are some decorations from our town last fall. Autumn is coming far too quickly for me. I see many posts about children going back to school and it makes me sad….
