I purchased this product with my own money. I am not in any way affiliated with Quorn. These thoughts and opinions are my own. Quorn is something I had never heard of until my son decided he wanted to become a vegetarian. I was searching for a meat substitute to use once in a while…

Sweet and Spicy Salmon
I have been reading quite a bit about the troubles students are having in college. Students are increasingly seeking out counseling services for depression and anxiety. Colleges are having meetings and strategy planning sessions to try to figure out how to deal with the increase needed in counseling and mental health services. Teachers in college…
Cheese Ravioli with Pesto and Shrimp
“Some days are like that even in Australia,” is a phrase often repeated in our house when the day goes all wrong and seems to be busting at the seams. This was one of those days. I am still nursing a sore knee. It is much better than it was three weeks ago but I…
Tofu Parmigiano
I haven’t talked much about my daughter’s school before but it is a big part of our days. She attends Connections Academy. It is not homeschool but also not traditional school. She has lessons given to her online and has teachers, in a building near Lansing, that hold lessons online a few times a week….
Refrigerator Spaghetti
Sometimes I need a quick meal on the table in under 30 minutes. This is it! The kids had lessons and needed to eat before we left for the night. Both of them were hungry and wanted food. I need to have a dish that is easy to put together and they will be happy…
Clam Chowder
I am glad my son has agreed to be a pescatarian, one who eats fish or seafood but not meat. It has been a huge adjustment over the past month and a half since he has decided to be a vegetarian. But, I really believe it has improved all our eating habits and made us…
Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Caps and Things I Want My Kids to Know Before They Leave for College
I have a list of things I want my kids to be able to do before they go off to college. This isn’t some grand list of trips and theories but of simple practical life skills that I feel they need to be able to do before I let them loose on the world. Do…
Tilapia with White Wine and Caper Sauce and My Memories of September 11, 2001
I have decided to write a little bit about today and my memories of September 11, 2001. My daughter was just about 16 months old. It was a sunny day in New York and she was playing in the living room. I remember clearly watching her play in the sun’s rays, chasing the bits of…
Shrimp Quesadillas
The first day of school started off at a run, literally. My son slept through his alarm. Thirty-five minutes of a loud beeping alarm, he slept through. Of course we also overslept until 6:30 am. Oops. He needs to be at the bus stop by 7:05. This is a kid who needs at least an…
Faux Vegetarian “Big Macs” with Homemade French Fries
We eat at fast food restaurants about 8-10 times a year. Mostly we stop when we are traveling and need something quick while we are driving. Rarely do we stop at one to just have dinner. One of the things that my partner likes is a Big Mac from McDonald’s. Every time she eats one…
Vegetable and Shrimp Enchilada Verde
We have some new followers to a bit about us. I am trying to make a different meal each week night for my family. I have been on this quest for about 2 years. My son decided last month that he was going to be a vegetarian so I am trying to now balance his…
Vegetarian Sloppy Joes over Corn Bread
I love Fall. It is my favorite season. I always think of Back to School time as the real New Year’s Day. We get to start all over again. It is a new school year with new teachers, new clothes and a hopeful feeling for a great year. It transfers over to our house too….
