You know I love one pan meals. Less pots and pans means less clean up! What I like even more is not having to cook it too. I was away for the day with my daughter while she danced. When we got home my partner had dinner ready for us. As she was looking around…

Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…
Lemon Garlic Salmon and Walking Again
As I started this year I pledged to myself to try to present the truest picture possible about our life. Everyone has struggles and things to get through and as we read these blogs sometimes we forget that we are reading about real people and their lives. Sometimes things look so fairy tale like that…
One Pot Lemon Chicken and Rice
I had planned this for dinner the other night but when I went to get the chicken out of the refrigerator it was still frozen solid. So, instead I added the marinade to the bag of chicken and let it sit overnight to thaw some more. Sometimes our best intentions need to be changed and…
Settling In with Roasted Citrus Chicken
The second day back is always better than the first day. Everyone tends to be more tired on the second day back to school and work than the first but at least we are starting to feel the routine is moving forward again. My daughter had dance class last night and things seemed “normal.” The…
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…
Lemon Butter Tilapia
Some nights I am fighting myself to find something quick and fairly healthy to feed my children. I am just like every other mom in the world, busy. Tonight’s dinner was tough. I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, to go away for a few days and keep the kids on schedule for their…
Tilapia with Lemon Butter Sauce
I am trying to get my family to eat more fish. I keep seeing reports that we should eat fish 2-3 times a week. I can barely get them to eat it once a week. Even then it is usually met with “the face.” You know “the face” – the scrunchy nose, the pursed lips…
Chicken Francese – Rachel Ray
We had chicken thawing in the fridge and not very much else on the cupboard shelves. I started searching for recipes and found in Every Day with Rachel Ray a recipe for Chicken or Fish Francese-wiches. Well, I did not have bread, arugula, paprika, lemons or tomatoes but being adventurous as I am decided to…
Blueberry Pancakes – Trisha Yearwood’s Recipe
We love breakfast for dinner. I like making breakfast for dinner because it is generally a quick easy meal. With the heat index on the rise a short time having the stove on makes me much happier the rest of the evening. We are still living on limited resources this month so I had sour…
