When we lived in New York my daughter was homeschooled. After the first day of 6th grade she looked at me and said, “These kids are annoying and they are wasting my time. Can I please be homeschooled?” She knew herself well enough to know it wasn’t going to work out for her in a…

Traditional Macaroni and Cheese
When I was a child my mother would make homemade macaroni and cheese a few times a month. We almost never had boxed macaroni and cheese until I was in high school. To me, macaroni and cheese was always a custard like dish unless it came from a box and then it was liquidy. I…
Chicken Drumsticks and Vegetables
Even with playing this game of making a different dish every weeknight for my family, for almost two years now, I try to save money on my grocery bills. Drumsticks this week were $.49 a pound. Drumsticks are not my favorite choice in meat but the kids love them and they can be made in…
Chicken Caesar Salad
So, school has started and we begin the balance of lessons, classes and homework. Dinner once again needs to be thought out and planned ahead of time. Yes, I plan my meals a month at a time but you really can do it with just a week worth of meals if you want. If you…
Banana Pudding Chessman Dessert
Well, the Labor Day weekend is upon us. For some it is a three-day weekend for others, just another day at work. I hope whatever you do this weekend you find some time to have fun with your families, friends or enjoy some alone time. I have seen this dessert on Facebook, Pinterest and even…
Slow Cooker Roasted Chicken
There was a television show when I was a child that I would watch in the afternoon after school. It was called “Get Smart.” There was a bumbling agent, Maxwell Smart or 86, who battled KAOS with Agent 99. He was always getting himself into situations that he needed saving from and one of his…

Poutine Baked Potatoes
When we were in Wisconsin recently we visited our favorite cheese store. We always pick up Basil Farmers Cheese and Fresh Cheese Curd. One bag of Cheese Curd was quickly eaten by the time we got home. But, I still had 3 lbs. of it. Of course the kids were thinking of Poutine all the…
Turkey and Honey Ham Cheesy Biscuits
I dread the start of back to school each year. It is so much fun having my kids home but the one thing I will enjoy is being back on a regular schedule. I have been driving to cello camp every morning, dance classes two or three days a week (never the same days week…
Berrien County Michigan Youth Fair – Fair Food
This week is our local County Youth Fair. Last weekend we were at the Wisconsin State Fair in Milwaukee. This is a very different kind of fair. They have the rides, food and animals but they also have tractors, tractor pulls and lots of Country Music. For our area this is a nice little fair….
Irish Dancing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
We are on the road again this weekend for Irish dancing. We love Milwaukee, Wisconsin! We were in our hotel room last night when some one let us know about the shooting by the police officers, the protest and the fires. We were 20 miles away and we’re safe but it all makes us sad….
