Last night for dinner I was going to make zucchini sausage muffins. But it was a HOT day. So I didn’t really want to turn on the oven. So I figured I’d make zucchini sausage cakes instead. I already had zucchini and sausage thawed. But the zucchini was not cooperating and was super stringy…which I …
Crockpot Baked Potato Soup
This week we need several prep ahead meals…which usually means crockpot meals. By the third one I wanted to try something new. I decided to make potato soup. I’ve never made any kind of potato soup before. I checked A Year of Slow Cooking to see if Stephanie had a good one. I went with …
Honey Walnut Sourdough Bread
This morning I made a new flavor of sourdough bread. I used my sourdough muffin recipe as the base. I modified it slightly to make a bread and to change the flavor. The combination of walnuts and honey is very good together. And a hint of cinnamon adds just the right amount of spice. …
Meal Plans Week of 5-20-12
We’re into the second half of May already. And warm weather is finally back! We’ve been trying to get outside often and enjoy it. So far Abram LOVES being outside. But Rebecca usually requires some convincing. She’s not a fan of bugs 😛 Abram sits by the door saying “socks”…what he calls shoes…and banging on …
Hot Dog Fries
Last week I saw Rachael Ray making hot dog fries. I thought it sounded like a fun idea. So I tried it this week. Super easy! And we all enjoyed them. When we go to baseball games Rebecca loves to get chicken fries (not sure what’s in them…and I’m too scared to ever find out…it’s …
Meal Plans Week of 5-13-12
Happy Mother’s Day! I guess Abram hasn’t quite learned what that is yet (this is his first one…he was born the day after Mother’s Day last year)…he’s already up 🙁 He’s been sleeping a lot better/longer lately. But today he has a different idea. Maybe he’s decided that now that he’s one he doesn’t need …
Meal Plans Week of 5-6-12
April showers bring May flowers…oh wait, we already saw all the flowers bloom in April and we’ve had tons of rain already in May. More crazy Michigan weather with lots of wind, followed by a couple of hot days, then back to rain and cold. Hopefully normal spring will arrive soon. Another busy week here. The …

Almost the end of another month. I’m ready for May…and the return of warmer weather. It’s been so windy and chilly lately. We’re all anxious to spend more time outside. This week will be fairly busy. Today is church. Monday I have milk pick up. I am also going to do something new…a yoga class!! …
Meal Plans Week of 4-22-12
We made it through another busy week. We had fun celebrating Rebecca’s birthday and spending time with family. My in-laws are still here, but will be heading home later today. This week shouldn’t be quite as busy, but still plenty going on. Today is church. Monday is milk pick up. Tuesday is Kindermusik. Wednesday is …
Pizza Balls (Rebecca’s Recipe)
Growing up we always got to pick what was for dinner on our birthday. I always loved that. So this year I did it with Rebecca. But instead of requesting one of her favorite foods she came up with her own recipe!! She does that quite often. It gives me great inspiration to experiment 🙂 …
