It was chilly this past week. It is only the end of August and already it feels like October. I haven’t been running the air at night for the past two weeks as it has been between 58-62 at night. Perfect sleeping weather but I don’t like what the chilly days foreshadow. But, for now…

Southwest Sauce over Spaghetti
It is tax season in our house. Well, the last of two tax seasons actually. I prepare personal income taxes from February through April and then my partner works in a State Tax Department so her busy season is mid-August through early December. What that basically means is she gets up and arrives at work…
Creamy Stove Top Pesto Macaroni and Cheese
I am looking for the quick and easy dinners right now. As we have two weeks left before heading back to school we are trying to cram every last minute of fun we can into summer. I have been forgetting about dinner until 30 minutes prior to when my kids want to eat, which is…
Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili over Baked Potatoes
The other day my son and I went out to lunch downtown at The Food District as a special treat. He chose Macaroni and Cheese with Crab and Lobster and I chose the OB Glad Foccacia Pizza. My pizza was bacon, sausage, pepperoni, onion and tomatoes on foccacia bread. Both dishes were amazing! I was…
Vegetarian Shepherds Pie
As much as I find my son’s decision to become a vegetarian overwhelming to my menu planning and cooking in the past three weeks I think I have eaten more vegetables than I have in the past year. I have noticed that all of us are eating less processed foods and less sugary foods even…
Asian Garlic Tofu Stir Fry over Chow Mein Noodles
I am just learning to cook with tofu. My son hates the taste of soy but I thought if I could mask it enough he may change his mind. He also does not care for the mushy texture so I bought extra firm tofu hoping that it would hold up enough for him to like….
Falafel with Tzatziki
My family LOVES garlic. We go through at least 1 jar of minced garlic and 1 jar of powdered garlic a month. Italian food, Greek food and Chinese food are always at the top of our go to list for menu items. I was searching through Pinterest to find something to make with the large…
Faux General Tso’s with Chickpeas
Chinese food is the one thing I know I like with vegetables. I love the sauces and will even eat what I consider “questionable” vegetables if they have enough delicious sauce on them. I have to be careful though because I don’t want to burn my family out on one type of food I am…
Tuscan Roasted Vegetables over Spaghetti
I realized the other night I was avoiding unfamiliar vegetables over my fear of them being mushy and bland. I need texture and I need flavor. Lots and lots of savory flavors. We are still working on balancing the fact that some want to have meat and making sure everyone is getting what they need….
Black Bean and Corn Quinoa Burgers
I write my menu plan about a month at a time. This is becoming a bit difficult for me with the change in food choices. I am truly trying to stretch myself in cooking and eating but I have already purchased a bunch of chicken and sausage so I am going to try to figure…
Raglan Road – Disney Springs
We arrived two nights prior to the start of the Disney Social Media Moms Conference 2015 and wanted to spend a few days getting to different places that we might not otherwise get a chance to go to. The one place my daughter really wanted to go to was Raglan Road. She wanted to see…
