This meal is fabulous! It is an easy way to cook a lot of food for the week. You can use grilled veggies in egg scrambles in the morning, make chicken sandwiches with the grilled chicken, or dice up some squash in a salad. Don’t like chicken? No problem! Switch […]
Thanksgiving has always had a special place in my heart. It’s the time of year when everyone gives a little extra effort to spend time together. Work schedules, activities and events become less of a priority and we’re reminded that our families are the real reason for being thankful. Sometimes […]
In my house, Tuesdays are our really busy day. My daughter has dance and is absolutely famished when she gets home so I’m always looking for ideas to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible. The crockpot makes an appearance regularly on Tuesdays. I cut up the veggies […]

I’m still working my way through lemons. Everything has to happen in the morning around here, because the afternoon is reserved for family and school. Which means – hello, I NEED a plan. Bobby Flay to the rescue. Well, kinda. It’s really rare that I follow anyone’s recipe exactly. Even […]
Comfort food seems to be my specialty. Serve this with a green salad, and you have a solid home-run dinner. The sauce is perfect for family, and is a great basic BBQ sauce that you can add to if you want to dress it up or suit your own tastes. […]
