Saturday Musings: Week 4
Sitting last night with my son trying to find a time for he and his friends to get together he suddenly had the realization that there wasn’t much time left before the end of school. Because seniors don’t take finals in our district they get out of school 2 weeks early. He will be done…
Mini Pecan Cranberry Goat Cheese Balls

Parmesan Zucchini and Summer Squash
Zucchini and yellow squash are in abundance this year. We have about 4-5 a week right now to use. I finally found another recipe, I hate to even call it that, that my family will eat. Yes, we even gave away our stash one week because my kids were pleading for no more zucchini. Verdict:…
Check in Day: 140
The hardest part of all of this Covid-19 stuff for us is not being able to see my parents. We usually go visit them in April/May, August, and December. This year we have only seen them for 1 day on our way back from Florida in early March. Thinking we would be able to visit…

Halloween is over and it is now time to think about Thanksgiving! I love Thanksgiving and all the food.

It is about being together more…
Chicken Tetrazzini (with/without canned soup)
Sometimes we use the cream of soups in our meals because it seems easier. My kids both think the canned stuff is icky and smells weird. They don’t mind it cooked into the casserole but actually opening and mixing it in they both squirm and try to get out of it. There is a simple…
