Things have been hectic around our house. Now, they are about to get a bit more crazy. On Friday, I received an invitation to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Walt Disney World! I am over the moon excited. I never thought I would see that email. I was hoping to use this…

Creamy Italian Chicken and St. Patrick’s Day
Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. For many people it is a day to wear green, maybe have a green beer or two and watch a parade. In our house it is usually at least a 4-5 day celebration. My in-laws have deep Irish roots that they have traced back for generations. My daughter Irish dances. …
Chicken Piccata
There are days that I forget to start dinner until it is just about time for my family to start complaining that they are hungry. We all do it. I have a month of meals planned to choose from so I usually have something I can make quickly. Not the other night. It was the…
Mexican Irish Nachos
Friday was insane so I did not get to a post about Thursday night’s dinner. My teenage daughter had a #DisneySide @homecelebration. It was lots of fun. The girls had a half-day of school so I picked them up and brought them to the house for a luncheon. They were so cute! They would all…
Skillet Chicken and Broccoli with Cheese
The weather still is yucky here and it seems like it is not going to return to “normal” any time soon. The high temperatures don’t even break half of what the average normal temperatures are supposed to be this time of year. Each day I hear the meteorologist say, “There is no end in sight…
Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Sauce
Still dealing with the fall-out from the stomach flu in our house. I thought mine would be gone in about the same 24-48 hours as everyone else. Of course not! I am now going on my sixth day. I do not want to feel queasy all the time. I started this post last week but…
Tuscan Chicken Skillet Dinner
So after vacation my cupboards are still pretty bare. I have some meat left in the freezer but as it has been about 10 degrees most of the day I have not wanted to go out grocery shopping. We picked up a few things on the way home but I need to get creative for…
Chicken St. George
We have been on vacation for the past two weeks and just arrived home last night. It was a beautiful two weeks with only 1 1/2 days of rain and temperatures in my favorite area of 70 to 75 degrees just about every day. Sunshine was plentiful and I felt amazing. This is what we…
Teriyaki Stir Fry with Chinese Noodles
I am still trying to get my family (and myself) to eat more vegetables. I am serving larger salads with more ingredients than lettuce, tomato, spinach and onion. I am putting them in just about every entrée I can and serving 1-2 vegetable sides per meal. The other night I decided to just stir fry…
Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry
It’s almost Christmas and I am still trying to keep our food budget from breaking the bank this month. I am trying to save money to use towards nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch and dinners. I still need to buy wine and meat for those meals and don’t want to dip into the…
French Onion Beef Stroganoff
My daughter hates onions. She hates the smell and will pick them painstakingly out of each and every dish I make if she sees one. I have learned to finely mince the onions I am adding to most dishes so she can’t even see them. But, she LOVES French onion soup and onion rings. She…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
