Day 80 – Our “Stay Home. Stay Safe” order has been lifted, well sort of. They are doing a gradual phase in. Everything is not opening at once. That is okay with me! We have several little nooks and crannies at our house that we can use as outdoor space. Off of our bedroom there…

5 Summer Salads
It is the season of picnics, fireworks, and parties. I have picked out a few of our favorite salads for today and the few weeks ahead. We love Balsamic vinegar and one of our favorite potato salads is this Balsamic Roasted Red Potato Salad (click for link to recipe). It can be served warm or…
Roasted Mediterranean Balsamic Potatoes with Feta
Updated: July 6, 2017 I first made this salad almost exactly two years ago. We had guests this week and I wanted to make something different so I went back through my recipes and found this recipe. Everyone loved it once again! I updated the recipe a bit with the spices. I think if my…
Oven Slow Roasted Ribs
With temperatures hovering near 60 this past week (in February!) it has seemed like a much-needed dose of early Spring. With the change in weather, however short-lived, I wanted picnic and summer food this week. So, I dug through my freezer to find some baby back ribs and started to make the whole summer dinner…
Slow Cooker Coca-Cola Ribs
Yesterday was amazing here in Southwest Michigan! The sun was shining it was warm. It was 54 degrees at 3:49 pm when I went to pick my son up from his Science Olympiad meeting. I had on a turtleneck and light sweater. No, winter jacket. I know this will not last long but we have…
A Fall Meal – Slow Cooker Barbecue Pork Chops with Sliced Potatoes
I love passing this tree. It is my touchstone for the seasons. Right now it is turning bright reds and oranges for fall but I know before long I will be watching it bud and turn green with the hope that spring is coming. This is not a great picture of what was actually a…
Easy Barbecue Chicken Nachos
“Some days are like that, even in Australia,” is a sentence that is said around our house on bad days. It is from the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. Everything goes wrong for Alexander all day long. Maybe things are better in Australia? At the very…
Macaroni and Cheese topped with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
I have renewed my Disney blogging by committing to myself to blog at least once a week about Walt Disney World. Most of my posts are about food but some will be about rides, family fun, and as always fun with autism. One of my first posts was about the meal my daughter and I…
Barbecue Chicken Salad
The kids are coming back from camp. It will have been twelve whole days without children. I love my kids but this was the first time in 15 years that I have been away from them longer than a night or two and in the last 4 years I have always had one…
Cheddar Barbecue Burger with Special Sauce
I am counting the days until the end of Christmas vacation. I LOVE having my kids home but both have been sick since Christmas Eve and it is starting to wear them and me out. It is nothing horrible but this horrible sore throat, cough and lingering cold symptoms. They have been eating lots of…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Chicken
With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…
