Maybe...just maybe....my kids have finally reached that age where if they make it, they will eat it. Like the majority of mothers out there, I sometimes have a hard time getting them to eat what I put in front of them. Getting them to eat anything that isn't a potato chip or a cookie after nearly 2 weeks with grandparents and in-laws is nearly impossible. My kids are culinarily ...

Cheddar Fried Squash
Cheddar Fried Squash is an easy and delicious way to jazz up your fridge full of squash or zucchini! Kids love it too! You know summer is in full swing when the squash and zucchini starts coming in. I have memories of mysterious 5 gallon buckets full of zucchini and summer squash showing up on our back door when I was a kid. While my mother always welcomed free ...
Homemade Yogurt Blue Cheese Dressing
Now, I know I have told you about my dislike of salads, so I hope you are not shocked by a large wedge of iceberg on my plate. I really don't like salads as a meal. Side salads are fine. Nothing but a salad is not fine. Anyway, I have found that one of the downfalls of making a salad at home is that good salad dressing is hard to come by. You want to keep it relatively low ...
Ham and Cheese Egg cups
If you have kids, family will ultimately come to visit. Not that this is a bad thing. Quite the opposite really. Whenever family visits us, we usually take advantage of the free babysitting and leave the house for a while and pretend like we are young and childless for a few hours. The only tough part about visitors is that you must provide room and board. I find that ...
Snow Showers and a Greek Pie
The snow! Oh the snow! It's everywhere! Blocking traffic! Taking out power lines! Closing schools! Wreaking Havoc! Just look at it! Yea...so no snow. But very, very cold. My poor kids are bored to death. We have watched every movie, played every game, put together every toy. We are all running out of creativity. So, I cook and the kids do the best to entertain themselves. We ...
Squash,Apple,Onion and Blue Cheese Galette
This post has gone through a couple of updates y'all. Well, this week I made a big decision in my grocery budget and decided to join a co-op. Every week I will be splitting a whole order of mostly local, fresh organic produce with my friend Dawn (who has 18 month old triplets). I have actually been toying with this idea for a while. I love produce and I love to try new foods ...
Baked Feta Chicken & Broccoli with Red Peppers and Goat Cheese
You know what my favorite aisle in the grocery store is? Nope, not cookies (that's my 2nd favorite). The Specialty Cheese aisle. Do I ever buy anything in the specialty cheese aisle? Umm...not really. Unless of course they have something there on manager's special or on a really good weekly special! This week it was feta cheese. It seems no one else is springing for the high ...
