Today is the first day since school let out that we have all been able to sleep in. No early morning doctor appointments, dentist appointments or getting my daughter to the school for her trip to Washington DC. Yes, I actually put my daughter on a plane with some of her 8th grade peers for…

I am a Mom of two that loves my family and all things Disney. I have been playing a game to see how many different meals I can make each weekday. These are our adventures in food and life.
Garlic Chicken Pesto Pizza
I did not get a chance to post yesterday. My partner had a simple procedure but it took much longer and was a bit more involved than we originally thought. So, what was meant to be a simple 2-3 hour thing turned into a half day. Then it was physical therapy for my daughter, dance…
Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Cheeseburgers
First full week of summer vacation begins and I am tired! I thought this was going to get easier. In a few weeks it will. My son asked why all our appointments are in the two weeks after school is out. He is right. I have been holding off as much as possible until school…
Italian Sausage Lasagna Casserole
I tried to get this post finished on Friday before we left for the Detroit Feis. I didn’t make it. Between picking my daughter up at a slumber party, physical therapy for her, a grocery store run and bagging all the food before we left at 1:00 pm I didn’t quite make my deadline to…
Chicken Fried Chicken and a Date Night
Now that school is just about out and evenings are getting longer we have a nightly ritual of going down to the beach and sitting to watch the sunset. It is so peaceful and calming and a great way to end the night. When I received my first Influenster box in the mail the other…
Oven Roasted Corn
My daughter looked at dinner the other night and said, “You can tell it’s late Spring or early Summer.” When I asked what she meant she said our dinner was the clue. All vegetables we were eating were not frozen or from a can. She was right. I love getting as many fresh fruits and…
One of Those Days – Papa Murphy’s Pizza
Papa Murphy’s All Meat Pizza Note: I received NOTHING from Papa Murphy’s for this post. I purchased my pizza myself with my coupon(!) from our Superbook. This is my opinion and I have not in any way compensated by anyone. I surrendered tonight. I try to cook dinner at least 6 if not 7 nights…
Potatoes au Gratin with Ham
I love comfort food. I would eat mashed potatoes with gravy and meatloaf every day for dinner for weeks on end if the rest of the family would let me. The rest of my family are dessert eaters. I hardly ever eat ice cream or cookies. I would far prefer a side of corn casserole…
Pork Chops and Potatoes – One Pan
I love the end of the school year. It cannot come soon enough for us. We love being home together for three months. But, for the next 7 school days life is hectic. I am doing the big change over in clothes, coats and shoes. I put everything in bins sorted by person. So when…
Chili Fritos Walking Tacos
Chili Fritos Walking Tacos – without toppings This Memorial Day weekend was a busy one in our household. It was our 18th anniversary. We always have dreams of spending it in some exotic place or even just having dinner together. But, we usually end up celebrating similar to the way we did the year our…
Buffalo Style Mozzarella Pork Chops
I finally forced my daughter to take a few nights off from dance class. We have been making the hour trip for the past 5 nights and I needed a couple nights off. She also needed to get some homework done as we are now 9 school days from the end of the school year….
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli in Tomato Cream Sauce
Yes, that does say Cheese Tortellini AND Ravioli. I bet you can all guess what happened. I remember I had bought two packages of tortellini back a few months ago when they were on sale because I try to only buy items when they are on sale. What I didn’t remember is making another dinner…
