I realized on my meal plan that I’ve never blogged about a staple meal in our house, probably because it feels so ordinary and I like a little fancy in a recipe to be blog worthy. But sometimes the classics deserve a space too. Whenever my family comes down with a cold, like countless other […]
Our trip to the mountains up north made us drink in fall, but everyone came home sick. Time to make a quick batch of homemade soon and try to keep the rest of the week simple with leftover quesadillas (a great way to disguise leftovers) and easy meals that double or roast quickly. Monday Rootbeer […]
I know that Eggplant Parm elicits strong feelings in some people. You either like it or you don’t. If you don’t like it, may I suggest checking out my Chicken Parm recipe? It’s similar in construction and my family loves it maybe a bit more than eggplant parm. Still, we try to eat a meatless […]
Hello October! Fall is my favorite. We’re planning on heading north for the long weekend, and will be eating out at our favorite places to keep it simple. But I’m planning on doubling the beef stew just in case! It travels really well and gets better each day. Here’s what we’re having this week. Happy […]
I originally wrote this post six months ago for our first Down Syndrome Day (3/21), but I am reposting it again on October 1, since it is Down Syndrome Awareness Month. Getting to know our son, getting to love him, is such a gift and I am still in awe. Sometimes our most definitive moments are […]

Well, it’s official. The babies like mushrooms. And a garlic cream sauce on their food. My husband doesn’t love mushrooms but I do, and it’s always interesting to see if any of the kids share his aversion. So far its mushroom lovers 6: haters 2. I actually forget to make dinner with mushrooms because he […]
This week we have 2 birthdays in our house! It is a busy week but I have been loving doing our meal planning a head of time especially during busy weeks. Monday Chicken Taco Bowls Everyone loves this dinner and it is so easy, its on heavy rotation. Tuesday Mini Meatloaves with Honey Mustard Sauce […]
I love how the cooler temps have made all of our bellies crave the comfort food of fall. Chili is always my first go-to meal at the start of fall, and I love nothing more than to make a huge pot from scratch, cowboy style, mixing cumin and chili powder and oregano and garlic, and […]
Our kids had no school Tuesday due to voting so I am behind on everything – it was like the weekend lasted until Wednesday morning. The temps have blessedly started falling and it is making us start to crave all the fall dinners. I have a couple of recipes that I can’t wait to test […]
