This picture does not do justice to the delicious pizza. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten half of it. Yummy! I made my own pizza dough following the directions in my bread maker’s manual. My daughter had a friend over so they played with the dough to lay it out. …
Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper
Thursday night’s dinner was something I am not overly proud of, though it fits my game. We had Cheeseburger Hamburger Helper. This is a dish my daughter used to love. Tonight, she was okay with it but I think all my cooking is spoiling her a bit because she wasn’t overly thrilled with it.

What’s for Dinner Moms?
After listening to “What’s for dinner Mom?” every day, for the past 11 years, no matter what the answer I gave them, the reply was always the same, “Again?” I am not overly creative lately in my choices for dinner so I am going on a quest to see how many different dishes I can…
