It is Spring Break here and we are trying to make the most of it. Lots of Spring cleaning going on even though it feels like February instead of April. I want to get all the windows open but not quite time yet. So, we are washing walls, baseboards and cleaning out all the cupboards…

Creamy Firecracker Chicken Pasta
We headed out to see Zootopia this weekend. What a great movie! All four of us laughed and thought it was a perfectly timed movie to address many of the “Us vs. Them” ideas that seem so prevalent in society today. I actually teared up in the end when Judy Hopps (the bunny main character)…
Italian Sausage Stuffed Peppers
When you need dinner on the table quickly having frozen dinners in your freezer can really help make the dinner process go much smoother. Casseroles, stuffed peppers, soups and lasagnas freeze very well. Make a double batch of dinners either on a weekend or when you have extra time to make dinner one evening and…
Lettuce Wrapped Tacos
I love this picture. I can tell we are in Spring and Summer mode for dinners as we start to look for more vegetables and less meat in our meals. I went to the grocery store yesterday to pick up the lettuce and a pepper for dinner and everything looked so good. I was sticking…
Lemon Garlic Salmon and Walking Again
As I started this year I pledged to myself to try to present the truest picture possible about our life. Everyone has struggles and things to get through and as we read these blogs sometimes we forget that we are reading about real people and their lives. Sometimes things look so fairy tale like that…
Cleaning Out the Freezer: Meals from the Bottom of the Freezer
This has been a busy month. Lots of great things but just quite a bit of cash going out at once. I spent a week in hotels with my daughter for St. Patrick’s Day. Then this past weekend we headed to Madison, WI to celebrate the 50th birthday of a dear friend. We all arrived…
Slow Cooker Corned Beef Stew
Using up my frozen Corned Beef leftovers from St. Patrick’s Day I made a simple stew in the slow cooker. It was nice to come home to the smell of corned beef filing the house and knowing with a nice loaf of crusty bread and some butter dinner would be ready! Verdict: Corned beef is…
Broccoli Tots
I have seen Broccoli Tots on tons of blogs and a video or two. The videos always make things look so easy but they tend to make things look a little too simplistic at times. I wondered if it would be as tasty as they looked and if they were really as easy to make…
Stuffed Tilapia
You know I try to use up everything in my freezer and pantry. Throwing away food bothers me. Not only for the amount of money I am wasting but I feel guilty about the energy, animals and everything else that went into making or growing the food I bought. I was cleaning up the freezer…
Pepperoni Pizza Burgers
Life is settling back down again. Well, as much as my life can settle down. Being done with St. Patrick’s week is a huge relief. Now, we have illness running through the house but I figure with yesterday being the first day of Spring we can’t be too far from being able to open all…
Rigatoni with Zesty Pasta Sauce
St. Patrick’s Day (week) is now over. My daughter and I have been gone most of the past week so she could dance in nursing homes, schools and a few bars for charity. It was fun but TIRING! I never seem to sleep well in hotels and we were eating out every day so my…
Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
My son also had Science Olympiad in the middle of all the Irish dancing my daughter did this week. His middle school team came in first in Regionals so they will be heading States at the end of April. He was so very excited. This is their Scrambler car. They have been working on it…
