Yes, it is cereal, milk, and bananas. Honey Nut Cheerios to be exact. We hit the wall. The almost year anniversary, ten more days, of the Covid-19 shutdowns are hitting my family hard. Though it is becoming the new normal for us there are still days that my kids struggle and we all are tired….

Last Sunday I posted 5 Soup Recipes for Simple Dinners (click for link to post) and this Slow Cooker Lasagna Soup was one of the soups. We haven’t had this in ages and it stuck in my head so that I finally went out and bought a container of ricotta cheese to make the soup….
7 Recipes for St. Patrick’s Day other than Corned Beef and Cabbage
A kind of St. Patrick’s Day Mommy Brag first. My daughter’s Irish dance trophies (1st and 3rd) from yesterday at her feis in Dallas, Texas. She was so happy just to dance! Our family’s holiday of holidays is coming up soon! We are an all out St. Patrick’s Day family. Our little world closed down…
Check In: Day 343
Week 49: As we creep closer and closer to the one year mark things are starting to feel more “normal.” I think it is because we are starting to accept what “normal” will be like. We don’t think so much about Covid every day. I don’t know it is a good thing or not. The…

Slow Cooker Korean Beef
I love getting the cheaper cuts of beef and slow cooking them to make them super tender. My family doesn’t miss the more expensive cuts for roasts if I cook them this way. For steaks you will want a more expensive cut such as sirloin, skirt, or flank. But, for this dish a bottom round…
Chicken Scallopini
Can we be honest here? I am struggling with dinners. I don’t want to make them. My standbys are even too difficult to think of making. I was chatting with a friend who told me she gave her kids bowls of cereal the other night and I thought it was perfect. We had popcorn the…

Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes
I love my pancakes and I make them a bit different each time. This extra hit of cinnamon with buttermilk makes for a slightly tangy dish. My kids are asking me for breakfast casseroles for “Breakfast for Dinner Thursday.” Yes, every Thursday we have breakfast for dinner. It is easy to make and tends to…
Blackened Cod
We don’t eat enough fish or salmon in our house. We love it but it is just not something we think about making. I am starting to stock up on more fish, salmon, and shrimp so we will eat it more often. Do you eat enough fish? Verdict: I love blacked fish. The sweet and…
