Several years ago, I noticed that in addition to ground turkey and ground pork, my local supermarket was carrying ground chicken. Since I RARELY ever cook ground beef, this was a win for me. Then, when I stumbled across a recipe for chicken meatballs on Pinterest, it was a Win-Win! The basic meatball recipe is …
After a weekend of below freezing wind chill, a week at the county fair, and 2 days of rain, I desperately needed warm comfort food…FAST! I love soup, but sometimes, soup, stew, and chili are over-done. For whatever reason, when it turns the slightest bit cold, everyone (myself included) runs to the store to get chili-making …
My son learned to bake 3 years ago. Since then, he has had 3 award winning cakes, one for every year he has entered our local youth fair. His first year, he baked a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream and tons of chopped Reese’s cups. He desperately wanted to be original, and even though …
I plan a weekly menu of meals every Sunday before I go shopping. For the most part, I know what we’re having for breakfast and dinner every day, and there is no uncertainty. There is no “what are we going to have for dinner? conversation. ” Like the kids, I thrive on routine and organization, …
The challenge was…use Little Debbie Snacks to create a dessert that kids would love. My first question is, ‘is there a dessert that kids don’t like?’ My second is, ‘Little Debbie’s aren’t considered “dessert”?’

So much so, that we promised our kids a day of paddle boarding and kayaking on JANUARY 2!!! Considering how warm (downright HOT!) it’s been, we …
We live far from the lights, action, hustle & bustle of a large city, so our kids have never seen true skyscrapers, taxis, or even mounted police officers.
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about holiday gifts for teachers, the boys and I have been doing this for 11+ years, and I don’t think we’ve ever repeated a project. Several people have mentioned having teachers who were diabetic, and as a diabetic, I can relate. We are inundated by sugary sweets during the …
As previously mentioned today, boys should be taught to cook. Boys should, not only be able to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but they should also be able to prepare dessert. When Ean first decided that he wanted to bake a cake for 4-H, I asked him to decide the flavor and style. Then, I …
Maybe it’s because I grew up with a brother who could, and still can, cook anything he wants or needs. Maybe it’s because I cook, and I only have sons. Either way, I have a firm belief that both of my boys should learn to cook and be comfortable in a kitchen. Sadly, too many …
