So, how are we all doing today? Today is day 6 for us on being home inside. I went out for the first time yesterday for a quick trip to the grocery store. They were out of most staples but I was looking for a couple of things like garlic, garlic powder, and wine. Great…
Brown Sugar Dijon Pork Loin
Life is different. We are on day 5 of not going out. I am talking to everyone about the new “normal.” My kids are having a bit of a hard time adjusting to being home, learning online, seeing people (other than family) via the internet, and even when they do go out it is alone….
Pizza Cups
We are getting creative over here having fun with scheduling and meal planning. My son (and most of us) are best when we have some sort of predictable schedule. So, we are keeping up a semi-relaxed schedule. Yes, my teens have to be up by 10 am. I don’t set a bedtime but we do…
Family Meals and Meal Planning
As more and more places are cancelling meetings. events, and classes we will be spending more and more time together at home. Now is a great time to start having family meals if you haven’t before. They don’t need to be anything fancy but gather your family at least once a day whether it is…
Coronavirus and Food
Middle Eastern Chicken Soup (click for link to recipe) I don’t know where you are right now but we are in the middle of a National and State Emergency with Coronavirus. My high schooler is off from school until April 13th and my college student is home until at least April 5th. My wife got…
Belgian Waffles
I love Belgian waffles. You probably thought I was kidding when I said we were having breakfast for dinner for the week. I love how easy breakfasts are to make and the kids love the variety. I also love that you can make extra and freeze them for future lunches or breakfasts – a win-win….
Oladi Russian Pancakes
I am tired. I am remember when we were kids my parents wouldn’t schedule anything for two or three days after vacation. I remember thinking how could they do that? I wanted to keep going. Now, I get it. I am bone weary tired. We drove from MI to Lake Geneva, WI to Orlando, FL,…
Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup – Slow Cooker
I am sorry I have been neglectful in reading many of your blogs and commenting lately. I am in the throws of tax season (one of my many jobs is as a tax preparer) and what I have now learned is called Wave Season in the traveling business. It is the time everyone books their…
Top Recipes for February 2020
Since the beginning of fall this recipe has been the most clicked on recipe on my blog and on my Pinterest page. Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apples (click for link to recipe) is a great fall dish with tons of flavor. I can understand why this recipe continues to be at the…
Buttermilk Chocolate Cake
I love chocolate cake! It is probably my number one dessert. Now, I am NOT a big dessert person but if I am I want a stick to your fork, creamy, smooth chocolate cake. This recipe is one that has been changed because I didn’t have all the ingredients of another cake recipe. Making changes…
Barbecue Pork Pasta
So day three of eating pork. We had pork butt (click for link to recipe), Caramelized Pork (click for link to recipe) and now Barbecue Pork Pasta. The nice thing was that no one complained because the dishes were so different that they didn’t feel like they were eating pork every day. And, I still…
