It seems like every day it gets harder and harder to blog. In the beginning it was easy and I seemed to have too many things I wanted to write about. Lately, I seem to be doing more and writing less. I am still trying to keep a shortened version of our Dinner Game going…

Sickness and Caribbean Chicken
Life is frustrating sometimes and for us this is one of those times. My son is Autistic (more towards Asperger’s Syndrome with ADHD) but he has tons of sensory issues. He is not aware of how his body feels. He is 11 years-old now and the number of meltdowns he has is minimal now. But,…
Mediterranean Chicken with Rice
We are back to our To-Go dinners. Dance classes have picked up again to four a week so we are traveling much more than usual. Rather than stop at fast food restaurants for dinner I make our regular meals and put them into divided covered dishes for the kids to eat their dinner in the…
My Favorite Words and Simple Swedish Meatballs
When we were little my brother used to have a list of words that would just make him giggle if he heard them. Cadet, trousers, pineapple… I never really understood it. I knew there were words I didn’t like to use but nothing that I thought was overly funny or wonderful about any word. I…
Sometimes Simple is Better – Simple Baked Salmon
When things get hectic it is nice to make a simple dinner. The other night we had been out of the house just about every night for a meeting, class or lesson. I just wanted life to slow down a bit. I had my daughter choose our meat for dinner and she chose salmon. It…
No More Boring Side Salads
Every night I make a side salad for my family to eat before dinner. We generally have one about 15-20 minutes before we eat our dinner. I try to mix them up so that they are a bit different each night so no one gets bored with the same old salad. Now that I have…
Settling In with Roasted Citrus Chicken
The second day back is always better than the first day. Everyone tends to be more tired on the second day back to school and work than the first but at least we are starting to feel the routine is moving forward again. My daughter had dance class last night and things seemed “normal.” The…
Back to Reality and Hamburgers with Gravy
Spring Break is over. Sigh. It always takes a few days for us to get back into the routine of school, classes and work. It seems so easy to get out of the routine but so hard to restart it. Even knowing that the first day back will be rough the actual reality always seems…
Spring Break and Tilapia with Balsamic Butter Sauce
It is Spring Break here in Southwest Michigan. The temperature actually broke 60 this week. Things are definitely looking up. We don’t travel during Spring Break because our job demands do not match up with the school calendar. This is a heavy work time for me and I really can’t take vacation until after May…
A Contemplative Weekend and a Chicken Caesar Casserole
I am over my temper tantrum from last week. I spent most of this weekend thinking about life, my friends and family. One year ago my mother-in-law died at 96 years-old after an amazing life. She loved her seven children, 25 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren (and still counting) and all their spouses and significant others. …
Creamy Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner and A WDW Invitation
Things have been hectic around our house. Now, they are about to get a bit more crazy. On Friday, I received an invitation to attend the Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Walt Disney World! I am over the moon excited. I never thought I would see that email. I was hoping to use this…
Chicken Enchilada Verde
As I look around my house I realize how busy life has been over the last month. Nothing is seriously wrong but there are baskets of laundry to be folded, clean dishes to put away, and tables to be dusted. It seems that just like everyone else we are running from morning until late in…
