Welcome to my blog.

  • Last week, we didn’t have the crockpot Cantonese sweet and sour chicken.  When I looked at the fridge on Friday morning, I noticed we had many leftovers.  So I decided that Friday night was left-over night.  It’s going to be a semi-busy week.  The boys have enjoyed attending various Vacation Bible Schools, so I have signed…

  • July Meals

    Later this month, my hubby and I are taking a long-deserved trip to St. Louis. We have not had a vacation alone since the boys were born, so I think it’s been long enough. The Wee One tells us that we are going on a date. Both boys are excited because they sleep over at…

  • I enjoy reading murder mysteries.  One of my favorite authors is Joanne Fluke.  The main character in her books is Hannah Swenson.  Hannah has a knack for finding dead bodies, which drives her mother absolutely batty.  With the help of her mother, sisters, and friends, she investigates murders.  Since Hannah owns a cookie shop, the…

  • A Year Ago Today

    A year ago yesterday, I read online that a teenager had drowned.  They had not released the name then, but my gut feeling told me that I knew the teenager.  So I went to my in-laws for dinner, wondering who had drowned.  When I got home, they released the teenager’s name.  Not only did I…

  • Homemade pizza

    For the longest time, the Imaginative One would not even touch a piece of pizza. A few weeks ago, he decided he needed to see if his taste buds had changed. He discovered that he does like cheese pizza so that makes meal planning easier because I know he will eat it if I make…

  • We don’t have as much going on this week.  We don’t have anything planned for a few days, so that will be nice.  We will just relax on those days. Instead of assigning certain days to the meals, I’ve just listed them.  I will carry it over to the next week if I don’t make…

  • I saw this recipe on another new blog (at least to me) called Mommy’s Kitchen.  Since it both looked easy to make and yummy, I knew I needed to try it. Today we went to a local outdoor mall to play in the water fountain.  I decided to pack our lunch and knew that the S’Mores snack mix…

  • Snickerdoodle muffins

    I love making Snickerdoodles at Christmas, especially with green and red baking sugar instead of regular granulated sugar.  So when I saw a recipe for Snickerdoodle muffins on a new blog (at least for me), I knew I needed to make them.  Today provided a great opportunity to make them.  I was going to pick…

  • Ever since January, the Wee One has asked me if it was his birthday yet?  I would tell him no and then tell him how many more months until his birthday.  When June came, he would ask every day instead of just every once in a while.  We would talk about how many more days…

  • This really isn’t a recipe.  Instead it’s a method.  I take chicken pieces – legs, breasts, thighs, or wings – and place them in the crockpot.  Then I take a bottle of bbq sauce and pour it over the chicken.  Then I cook the chicken all day on low (6 to 8 hours).  The chicken…
