One of the best ways I have found to save money (I love my Disney trips and need to save for them) is to try and buy all my staple grocery products when they are on sale. Most sales happen every 4-6 weeks so when I find items such as chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks…

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…
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…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cheesesteak
I have been reading quite a few blogs lately and some of them scare me a bit. I am a bad mom. I didn’t know it before I read all these blogs. I let my children eat candy. I don’t buy organic vegetables. I don’t check their homework every night. I may be negligent because…
Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken
Ever have one of those days? Well, this is it for me. After dance class last night I came home and we had dinner, helped the kids with their homework, took a ride down by the beach to watch the sunset. It was a really great evening. This morning I get up and can’t find…
Mexican Casserole – Cinco de Mayo
We spent the last weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at two Irish Dance Feis. We had been once before but only for one night. This time we spent two nights and had a bit of time to explore. We ended up at a German Beer Haus that was wonderful. Long family style tables with great beer…
Pork Divan Casserole
One of my kids favorite books is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Alexander has everything go wrong during his day. When things go wrong in our house we look at each other and ask, “Are you having an Alexander day?” Now, I didn’t really have an Alexander day entirely but…
Slow Cooker Chicken and Stuffing
Back to school and after school practices and meetings. The last six weeks of school is going to be crazy. My daughter is adding another day of dance in Kalamazoo, MI which means another hour drive each way. I love that we can do this but three-four days a week in the evenings are tough. …
Life, Death and Chicken Yakisoba
I decided to take a two-week hiatus recently with the passing of my mother-in-law. She lived a long beautiful life but death, even when expected, is never easy. The day we had been waiting for had arrived about 2 weeks ago. We got the call that my mother-in-law was near the end and we should…
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
We are still in full comfort food mode so for dinner last night I started with a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff from Allrecipes.com. I knew I would have to a bit of changing to the recipe for my family. The first change I made was substituting chicken stock for butter. I didn’t want…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
I think I can, I think I can…. I will make it through this month with my sanity intact. Last night was dance class. At least with Daylight Savings Time change it is still light out when we head out on our drive and soon it will be light on the way home too. That…
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Most of my dinner photographs are pretty awful. I am not a photographer. This has to be one of the worst pictures I have ever posted. This was taken after dinner when I realized I forgot to take a picture and there was just a little bit of Jambalaya left in the bottom of the…
