Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.” ~ Danny Thomas I have been working on my Social Media outlets lately. I have never shared them on here but here they are:…
Chocolate Strawberry Trifle
This is a great dessert that is so easy and light for Spring and Summer. The sunsets lately have been so beautiful. You can feel the weather changing so quickly. I know we are looking forward to fresh fruits and vegetables. The great thing about this is you can use whatever berries that are in…
Garlic Butter and the First Outdoor Grilling of the Year
So, the weather has finally turned here in Michigan to the mid 70s. It has been gorgeous the past few days and has allowed us a chance to finally start grilling outdoors. We love to grill out but it always takes a few times to get back in the groove. Where are the tools? How…
Buttery Coffee Cake
Looking for something to brighten up your weekday breakfasts or Sunday brunch? For the most post we are not big breakfast eaters. Once in a while we will do a big breakfast on the weekend but during the week my son is really the only person that eats breakfast. Usually it is cereal or oatmeal….
Cordon Bleu Pasta
So, a Mommy moment. As part of his Autism my son struggles with vocal issues. He has trouble realizing how loud his voice is, his inflection tends to be very flat and monotone and he has never been able to sing, at all. He could technically “sing” but it wasn’t very good as he couldn’t…
Roasted Potatoes with Pastrami Ragu
I realized last night I am not a normal mom. It’s okay, really. What is normal? Conforming to a standard, usual,typical or expected according to Google. Is that what we want? I don’t. The best parts of life are when we are not looking and things just “happen.” Sometimes my dinners just “happen.” This dish…
It’s All About Disney World For Me
I recently wrote about my knee and back troubles with arthritis and going to Physical Therapy so I can walk a normal distance again without collapsing in pain. I realized today that I need to think of this as I am in training for Disney World. On the days I am not wanting to go…
Meatball Subs
I am in a comfort food mode if you can’t see it by looking at my last few posts. I seek out the creamy, savory, flavorful meals I remember from being a kid or that make me feel warm and good inside. I know food can’t solve everything but right now, it is okay. Sometimes…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole
The first day back to school after vacation is always tough. We never sleep well and that first day back to work and school is spent in a kind of haze. My daughter asked me if I heard her brother singing Lion King Jr. songs at 3 am. His auditions are this week and he is so…
Barbecue Chicken Pasta Skillet
Well, Spring break is finally over. It was definitely a weird week weather wise. All week we had snow on and off and temperatures hovering in the 30s. Saturday on a trip to Grand Rapids we actually drove through a white-out. April 9th and I am driving in a white-out. Thankfully, we made it there…
Cheesy Lasagna
This is definitely a weekend dish. I don’t make lasagna very often but when I do this is the general recipe I follow. My favorite part of this lasagna is the Bechamel Sauce. Here is how I put my lasagna together. Based in part on a recipe from Bobby Flay for Lasagna which came from…
Slow Cooker German Style Potatoes and Smoked Sausage
It is getting tougher to make different meals each night. This meal was because I needed a slow cooker meal for the kids while we were all going off in different directions. My daughter loves vinegar. Any kind of vinegar. I think she would just drink a bottle of it if we let her. So,…
