Twenty-five weeks. I never thought we would still be going through this. In some ways this has been the best thing ever for my family but at the same time it has devastated so many people. Time seems to be almost flying now. I never really know what day it is. I have to think…

Hamburgers with Goat Cheese, and Caramelized Onions with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
Are you like us trying to eek out the last few weeks of being able to grill? We are having some extra cool nights and I know there are people that grill year round in Michigan but we are not them. We usual stop around the beginning of October when it is too cold to…
Orzo, Goat Cheese, and Craisin Salad
Back to school time is tough not only for me but for my kids. They both start feeling a bit anxious before school starts. Thought they have been through this many times now it always surprises us when they start to get moody and acting out a bit two – four weeks before school starts….

It’s Not Really the End of Summer, But it is
