While my daughter is in Europe this week, just cooking for three people rather than four has been different. My daughter has a strong dislike of onions (although she eats them far more than she will ever know), cooked mushrooms and rice. So, I have been making dishes that she may not normally like and…

Fried Rice with Chicken and Broccoli
Yesterday was an interesting day. Part of my son’s Autism is that he is unaware of what is happening with his body. He has trouble with telling when he is in other’s personal space, he can be sick and not know it or he can seriously hurt himself and not know it. He told me…
Tuscan Garlic Chicken
We are slowly getting back into the groove of summer. Yesterday was too hot and humid to head to the beach though. There was always the threat of a thunderstorm. Those dark looming clouds don’t make me want to spend hours at the beach. So, instead we tried to catch up on a few things…
Barbecue Cheeseburger Pasta Skillet
We are back to “real” life. By now most of you have heard about the shooting in the Michigan courthouse yesterday. That was about a mile from our home. We live in this little area we laughingly call “Mayberry.” Yes, bad things happen here just like every other place around the world. But, the difference…
Pierogi and Sausage Casserole
I first made this casserole over 2 years ago. I have reworked the original recipe into a one pan casserole that can be on the table in about 30 minutes! This meal was one of those, “Oh my goodness it is 30 minutes before dinner and I don’t know what we are going to eat…
Schnitzel Sandwiches
Sorry this is so late today. It has been incredibly fun and relaxing all at the same time. This is why I am late: The kids went to camp and then this: We are on vacation!!!! But, I knew the kids were leaving for camp and the car was packed. I knew dinner was going…
Schnitzel with German Potato Salad and Red Braised Cabbage
My daughter’s birthday was two months ago. For her birthday dinner she had asked for a German dinner. But, because times were busy then we took her out to dinner with the promise that we would make her a dinner later. Well, later finally rolled around the other night. I had taken her out for…
Beer Braised Brats with Caramelized Onions II
I am slowly cleaning out the refrigerator of our last Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share so we are eating lots of salads and the last of the preserved blueberries. It has been a busy week getting the kids ready for camp and us ready for our vacation. Lots of laundry and organizing. I need simple…
Storing Fruits and Vegetables to Last Longer
Picture from joesmithfarms.com Fruits and vegetables are not cheap. Every time I find the limp celery that I planned on using the last stalks of for soup or the moldy peaches stuck in the back of my fruit and vegetable drawers I see dollar signs floating away. How do I store them AND use them…
Traditional Southern Style Macaroni and Cheese
Growing up I knew there were two kinds of macaroni and cheese. The one from the blue box and the one my mother made. I liked them both but I remember liking the one from the box a bit more (why, oh why?) but as I grew up my mom’s macaroni and cheese tasted better…
CSA Share Dinner
The kids and I went yesterday to pick up our first Community Supported Agriculture box (CSA) from a local organic farm. It was like Christmas. The kids wanted everything for dinner but we settle on a few select things to try with our meal. Included in our box were: Kale – several varieties – Lacinato,…
Reuben Egg Rolls
I blog about our salad bar yesterday and today I am blogging about Reuben Egg Rolls. Sounds weird even to me but we are going to get our first CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share of the year today. I know some people do not know what a CSA share is. You support a local farm…
