Broccoli Tots

When we read blogs I know I sometimes get a distorted image of someone’s life. Especially in some of the food blogs, or DYI the projects are perfect, the kids are perfectly dressed and the houses are perfectly clean of any clutter. Not here. I am giving you the real. The I actually took my…
Homemade “Rice-a-Roni”
I am always struggling with side dishes for dinner. I have no problem with protein or vegetables but starchy side dishes other mashed potatoes or corn, which my family would happily eat every day, are tough. We do eat sweet potatoes once or twice a week in some form but I need something that is…

Taco Stuffed Baked Potatoes
Yesterday was the start of “The Storm.” It really wasn’t too bad and I was shocked that they cancelled school last night for today. I thought for sure they would wait until morning to see what the weather was like. I love snow days and so happy we have one today. I am thinking lots…

Ramen Asian Salad – Happy New Year!
I consider my real New Years Day the day my kids go back to school each year. I don’t know why but that has always felt like the beginning of a new year to me ever since I was little. I get very emotional and sentimental around that time of year. So, actually New Years…

Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cheese
Thanksgiving is coming up and I am trying to get all our shopping done on a budget. I have been scouring ads and comparing prices. Today we picked up the turkey because they were 50% off at one store ($.52 a pound). I used to get a much better deal but this seems like the…
Beer Battered Fish and Chips
My kids love having food from different countries. When I first mentioned making Fish and Chips the first thing they asked me to do was to get Malt Vinegar for the chips (fries). To make this dish a bit healthier, and I mean just a little bit, I made oven fries rather than deep-frying them…
