(My family takes the pictures of dinner on Tuesday and Thursday when I am away. Not quite like when I take the pictures but it gives you an idea of the dish.) School is over. Lessons for cello are off for the next few weeks. We only have dance left until the end of the…

Chicken Carnitas
Looking for a dish that can cook while you are on the beach this summer? This is a simple dish to make using your slow cooker. Prepare your toppings before you leave and store them in little bowls in your refrigerator so that when you come home all you need to do is a few…
Disney: Revisiting Liberty Tree Tavern
My son is a HUGE history buff. He especially loves American history and I knew he would love the theming of this restaurant. He hopes one day to be a Constitutional Lawyer. He hadn’t been to Liberty Tree Tavern since he was three years-old. My daughter and I had been in 2015 and knew he…
Chili Cheeseburgers
Someone said to me the other day that May and June are made to break parents. I believe it after the last six weeks. The last day of school is today but my son starts summer school tomorrow. Yes, they have Saturday school for two of the six weeks they have summer school. He is…
Watermelon and Feta Salad with Balsamic Reduction
We had this salad at the Food & Garden Festival in Epcot, Disney World, in April. My son loved it so much I told him when we got home I would make it for him. Well, I saw watermelons on sale the other day and picked up one that looked nice and let it sit…
P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps (copy cat)
I used this recipe for P.F. Chang’s Chicken-Lettuce Wraps (click to link original recipe) from Food.com as a basis for my P.F. Changesque Chicken Wraps. Verdict: My family really liked this dish. Though they said it was “similar” to P.F. Chang’s, but it was NOT P.F. Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Next time I will chunk…
A Big Weekend in Our House
Sunday is the day I usually talk about my family. This past weekend has been a whirlwind in our house. Friday night my son had his 8th grade “Farewell.” They don’t say graduation in our district except for 12th grade. I like that. In 5th grade they do a “Walk Away.” All the 5th grade…
Do You Have a Leftover Meal?
Lately I have been going back and watching televisions shows from many years ago that I did not get to watch the first time they were on television. So, I have watched West Wing, How I Met Your Mother, and now Malcolm in the Middle. One of the best moments so far for me is…
Sesame Ginger Chicken
(Sorry about the picture quality but my family helped my out by taking dinner pictures the other night. This is the best shot they had.) We love Chinese food but it can be very expensive and you don’t always know what is in it. If we make it at home we can control the ingredients…
An Impromptu Memorial Day Picnic
Our lives have been so busy that I marked Saturday and Monday on our calendar as “Do NOT schedule anything.” of course that did not completely work but it kept us down to a sane three or four items in the day and not have it jam-packed. As we were at the grocery store picking…
Pesto Crusted Mahi Mahi
We have been traveling so much lately I am trying to clean out the freezer a bit rather than buy more groceries. We had two pounds of Mahi Mahi to use and as I searched the pantry I came across a jar of basil pesto and a jar of sun-dried tomato-basil pesto. Perfect! Verdict: This…
The Game We Play and What My Family has Gained from It
I have quite a few new followers (thank you, thank you, thank you) and thought it was time to update everyone about the dinner game I play with my family and what we have gained from it. Almost four and a half years ago I was tired of cooking. I didn’t want to cook dinner…
