Simple Chicken Enchilada Verde

Every day is getting 3 to 4 minutes shorter. Night is coming earlier and earlier. You can feel it and smell it in the air. Fall is on its way in. In many ways I don’t want to admit it but as we sit on the bluff and look to the lake at 8:50 we…

Korean Beef Tacos with Pickled Onions and Cucumbers

If you have read my blog over the past year or two you may have noticed my family really likes combinations of Asian spices with touches of something different. Still trying to keep those food costs down one of our favorite meats to go to is ground beef. But, we can only eat so much…

Grilled Reuben

Christmas Dinner

My favorite turkey sandwich on toasted white bread. We actually don’t cook on Christmas Day.  Everything is made on Christmas Eve and we snack through both days on all the food.

Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano – Disney Hollywood Studios

This was our second visit to Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, but a first for my parents.  This restaurant is tucked behind Muppet Vision 4-D and next to the Frozen stage show so if you are not looking for it you may just walk right on by.  The waiting area inside the restaurant is tiny and…
