Today is the first day back to school for the kids. I am an emotional wreck. Both of my children are starting taking big steps forward in their lives. My baby boy starts middle school (6th grade) and my daughter starts high school (9th grade). Through I know as parents we are to prepare them…

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
The kids start back to school next week. It cannot be possible. I swear we were just celebrating their being home for three months. For us this was the summer that really wasn’t. We are used to going to the beach 3-4 days a week and we went to the beach 3-4 times this whole…
Cod Au Gratin
This is another month of tight budgets. With all the summer fun we have been having and back-to-school right around the corner I am ever mindful of money right now. I am trying to use as many items as I can out of our freezer as possible. Recently I have been allowing my children to…

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…
