The Princess and I finally found a way to get to school on time without having a huge fight about…well EVERYTHING. It’s only taken 8 months really–quite a speedy discovery don’t you think? Last week, the Princess got up early AGAIN and I had a brilliant idea. I offered that if she got ready super…
Comfort Food: Chicken Broccoli Casserole
We grew up with casseroles and I thought they were the yummiest things. This sounds like a healthy casserole (it has broccoli in it after all!), but I had to do some substitutions to make it work. The original had velveeta cheese, cream soups…all things that I can’t/won’t eat anymore. I’m happy to report that…
Menu Plan Monday, May 4!
I went shopping this week and my fridge is full of yummy stuff to eat! I’m excited for this week’s menu plan! The theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over at Celiac Family is oregano! We love oregano, but I don’t think I’ve ever used fresh. It’s a main ingredient in our favorite spaghetti…
Have You Heard of Lemongrass Spa?
No? Me either a year ago! Let me tell you how I learned about Lemongrass Spa Company. I started being more interested in natural products when I was pregnant with my daughter. I researched and made my own products for a few years as much as I could. Some were complete flops and others I…
Menu Plan Monday, April 27!
Another week and another menu plan! I came up with this week’s plan mostly because of what we had on hand. I didn’t have time to shop, so my husband did the shopping and I just used stuff we already had in the freezer. I missed being at the Farmer’s Market, but there’s always next…
Feeding the Hungry Beast
Sometimes, it’s a challenge feeding your kids. I feel like the past 5.5 years have been occupied with figuring what to feed the Princess, making sure she had enough to eat, and making sure that she had food when she was hungry. Any mom will tell you the terrible tragedy that will occur when you…
Menu Plan Tuesday, April 21!
It’s been difficult the past few weeks when I’ve had to choose between what’s important and what’s critical and leaving some important things undone. But eating is critical (especially for the Princess!) so I’ve chosen to cook instead of blogging about cooking since I didn’t have time for both. The theme for the Gluten Free…
Menu Plan Tuesday, April 7!
Happy Easter! Since I neglected to take a picture of food this week, here’s one of my daughter before her spring program! She is dressed to represent the country she did her report on: Portugal. Since it is too difficult to find an authentic Portuguese costume, she is wearing the colors of the Portuguese flag,…
If You Clean Your Glasses…
It’s been a little quiet around here again. I really am thinking of stuff to write, but the finding the time to sit down and do it is tricky. Here’s a little glimpse into what’s been going on around my crazy household, inspired by “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie” by Laura Joffe Numeroff…
Menu Plan Monday, March 16!
A month ago it was chilly, and a month later its hot. I think I have a love/hate relationship with Florida weather! I’ve had a few issues with getting everything done that is involved in menu planning lately. Either I would have a wonderful plan and shopping list and then fail with actually cooking the…
