I didn’t get a chance to post about my son’s birthday dinner last week. This was what he really wanted for his birthday dinner, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. We first made this sandwich about 7 or 8 months ago at his urging and he waited until his birthday for me to make them again. They…

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
It was a crazy and fun weekend. We were in Milwaukee for three days for a Mommy/Daughter Feis, Irish dance competition, trip. No, I don’t dance, I finance, as they say. She did really well. It was the first time in a long time she could come off stage and say, “I did the best…

Broccoli Tots
