I’m always trying to find new ways to get veggies in my people. Since My Little Man ate a head-and-a-half of Romaine for lunch yesterday – by itself, like an apple – it’s not that I’m worried about rickets or anything. I like expanding our palates, though, and it’s always fun to cook and eat… Continue reading Grilled Zucchini Pizza

Mile-High Buttermilk Pancakes
I’ve got this thing for pancakes. I love fluffy, rich pancakes dripping with syrup. Of course, I don’t actually like the huge amounts of empty calories that accompany those tall stacks of sticky goodness, so for years I’ve been trying to create a recipe that would keep the tasty goodness but put some nutrition back… Continue reading Mile-High Buttermilk Pancakes
Double Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
My husband took me out for Valentine’s Day about bought the most amazing piece of cheesecake for our dessert. I’ve never had anything like it – it was the perfect chocolate food. Smooth, silky, and rich, it was absolutely wonderful. So color me thrilled when he decided later that he’d try to make one for… Continue reading Double Chocolate Hazelnut Cheesecake
Menu Plan Monday – February 27, 2016
Last week’s slow week? It’s long gone. We’re back in business week with lots going on, so our meal plan is going to reflect that. I’m also going to be picking up my first Zaycon chicken order and prepping all 40 pounds for the freezer, so …. expect to see some chicken on the menu… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – February 27, 2016
Garlic Alfredo Pasta
Every night’s a good night for pasta, right? When a meeting got thrown into the mix at the last minute, the meal I had planned wouldn’t work. I was stumped – I had a beautiful, cook-and-serve-immediately dinner on the brain, and now we needed something that could be prepped ahead of time. That’s where… Continue reading Garlic Alfredo Pasta
Menu Plan Monday – February 15, 2016
We’re having an exciting week around here. Weeknight events, back-to-back out-of-town field trips, and changing weather means I’m not sure what’s going to happen with the meal plan this week. I’ve got a plan, and I’m going to try hard to work it, but … we’ll be flexible if we need to. What do… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – February 15, 2016
Baked Supreme Pizza Dip
Sometimes I just crave pizza. You know – the gooey, melt-y cheese, the spicy meats, the abundance of veggies. That doesn’t mean that I always want to make a pizza, though, or that I’m interested in the crust, because as good as it can be, somehow I never get hungry for that specific part. That’s… Continue reading Baked Supreme Pizza Dip
Healthy Burrito Bowls
I planned to make something new last week – a new kind of healthy Mexican recipe that the Big Helper and I were excited about. Until one ingredient didn’t behave as expected. At the very last minute, I needed to change things up, and these burrito bowls were the result. We really liked them. The veggies… Continue reading Healthy Burrito Bowls
Menu Plan Monday – January 25, 2016
It’s been a long time since I was excited about menu planning. I think I was stuck in a rut. I kept making the same meals over and over again, feeling pressured by time and the crush of other activities, and cooking no longer felt fun. I’ve been fasting for the past few weeks, though,… Continue reading Menu Plan Monday – January 25, 2016
Book Club, Girls’ Edition: “Stealing Magic”
This week the girls took their turn at Stealing Magic, the second book in The Sixty-Eight Rooms series by Marianne Malone. While the boys read this book last week, the girls took a very different approach to it. After discussing the story, we moved right into painting. Jack and Ruthie traveled to Paris in 1837… Continue reading Book Club, Girls’ Edition: “Stealing Magic”
