Last night we made Rebecca’s most recent recipe creation. She called them noodle cream cakes. When I asked her how to make them she said they were chicken sour cream cakes with noodle and bread crumb topping. They actually turned out quite well. I never would have thought to add sour cream to my chicken …
Meal Plans Week of 9-16-12
We made it through our first week of fall chaos. I think we all survived. Although Rebecca was so worn out by the end of the week. Friday she went to her room for a little quiet time before dinner. I called her at dinner time…and got no answer. She was out cold 😛 This …
Zucchini Soup
Zucchini soup is a great way to use up some of your larger zucchini and get kids to eat it! Pair it with zucchini crackers and cheese…lunch is served. Zucchini just keeps coming. I’m still working on using up the last of the zucchini from our garden. Sound familiar? You can only make so much …
BLT…and P?
I’m finally playing catch up with some recipe posts after finishing all of my other writing assignments. Recently we had BLTs for dinner. But we made one addition…we added peanut butter! I know it sounds crazy and kind of gross. I thought the same thing when I stumbled on this idea at Simple Organized Living. …
Meal Plans Week of 9-9-12
Last week was kind of slow and long. We were home all day the last couple of days. And now that Abram has decided he only wants to climb on things and has mastered climbing pretty much every piece of furniture in about 3 seconds I can’t leave his side. If you step out of …
Buster Bars (updated recipe)
My MIL introduced me to buster bars years ago. I’m not sure where the name comes from…maybe if you eat too many you’ll bust your pants 😛 Whatever the case they are delicious. Chocolate, ice cream, nuts…yum. I’ve made them several times. I made a peppermint stick version a couple years ago. Amazing! After making …
Real Cheesecake
I love cheesecake. It comes in a close second for my all time favorite food. Right behind ice cream. I don’t make it often. And I haven’t made it in quite some time. I’ve been wanting to make a REAL cheesecake for a while. But it takes work to make all of the ingredients before …
Meal Plans Week of 9-2-12
The start of a new week. And I’m glad. We did have a lot of fun last week (2 trips to the zoo, played at the park, a visit to the library, lots of time outside/playing in the sandbox)…but I also had my share of mishaps. I may or may not have broken my toe …
Monthly Goals – September 2012
September is here. Although I’m always sad to see summer coming to an end I really do love fall. I just wish it didn’t have to be followed by winter 😛 We’ve really enjoyed our summer and tried to make the most of it. I think we are all ready for fall activities to begin …
End of Month Recap – August 2012
Summer is just about over. It’s hard to believe. August went by so quickly! We definitely kept busy. Overall it was a good month. I spent more than enough time in the kitchen…which is why I did not start any new sewing projects. We did lots of fun activities. We’re trying to enjoy the nice …
