Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day. For many people it is a day to wear green, maybe have a green beer or two and watch a parade. In our house it is usually at least a 4-5 day celebration. My in-laws have deep Irish roots that they have traced back for generations. My daughter Irish dances. …

Greek Pizzas with Tzatiki
We are getting back into the warmer days slowly. On top of all the school and community events my children have we are wanting to spend more time outside. That means dinner is getting later and later. I love that this meal took less than 30 minutes to have on the table and I made…
Clam Chowder with Oh My Goodness Garlic Bread
I LOVE Daylight Savings Time. I know mornings are tough but I love the fact that last night we were watching the sunset at 7:50 pm. We are evening people in our house. Between 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm we eat dinner, which is later than most families. My children, even before they were a…
Cheesy Chili Beef Mac
The hour time change is kicking my butt. But, the good thing is that the raising temperatures and sunshine the last two days have definitely brightened my outlook on life. I truly believe I have a touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) every year. No, it is not a serious depression for me but I…
Creamy Chicken and Stuffing with State Testing
My daughter had her EXPLORE test this morning. Because she is in Virtual School we had to drive to a town about 40 minutes away for her to take the test. This is her first year in Virtual School so it has been a huge learning curve for us. She was homeschooled in New York…
Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Vegetables
This month is crazy busy in our house. All of the school teams, clubs and performing groups are cramming everything into March and early April to avoid Spring Break and preparing for finals. We only have two children yet we have Science O practices and regional, school orchestra and youth orchestra program, music lessons and…
Chicken Piccata
There are days that I forget to start dinner until it is just about time for my family to start complaining that they are hungry. We all do it. I have a month of meals planned to choose from so I usually have something I can make quickly. Not the other night. It was the…
Mexican Irish Nachos
Friday was insane so I did not get to a post about Thursday night’s dinner. My teenage daughter had a #DisneySide @homecelebration. It was lots of fun. The girls had a half-day of school so I picked them up and brought them to the house for a luncheon. They were so cute! They would all…
Slow Cooker Mexican Spiced Boneless Pork Ribs
We’re having a heat wave! Well, it really is 10 degrees out but the sun is shining! That makes all the difference in the world. Everyone I have met today seems in a good mood. Usually people have their heads bowed and their hands shoved in their pockets and are doing the quick shuffle as…
Skillet Chicken and Broccoli with Cheese
The weather still is yucky here and it seems like it is not going to return to “normal” any time soon. The high temperatures don’t even break half of what the average normal temperatures are supposed to be this time of year. Each day I hear the meteorologist say, “There is no end in sight…
Italian Sausage Patty Melt
The “Winter Blues” have definitely taken over. I hate being cold. The perfect temperature for me is between 67 and 72 outside. The -4 degree temperatures are awful! I don’t like snow, other than at Christmas. Even two weeks in Florida did not help as we came back to record cold temperatures. So, the desire…
Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Sauce
Still dealing with the fall-out from the stomach flu in our house. I thought mine would be gone in about the same 24-48 hours as everyone else. Of course not! I am now going on my sixth day. I do not want to feel queasy all the time. I started this post last week but…
