I hate to say it, but I have to admit that I like the taste of the small hamburgers at MacDonald’s. I know, I know- bad me but I didn’t say that I actually eat them hardly ever. I’m not sure what it is about those small, little burgers but they taste so yummy (and flat, lol) to me. C’mon, I can’t … [Read more…]
Whose is it??? Hmmmmm…. Well, it has something to do with Butternut Squash and a stew and if you’re recognizing it already, then it’s probably you, DEBRA! So thank you for sending it in!!

I had originally gotten this recipe from my friend Megan who loves to cook, but had totally forgotten about it until I re-read a post from Mel about her 5K experience from last year, which just so happened to include this recipe. I made it last week and three out of the four kids loved it, which is … [Read more…]
I’m going to be honest here, I’ve posted this recipe before, but it really is one of my favorite Sunday dishes (I eat dinner with my parents every Sunday) and I thought it’s worth posting again.

We’re in the midst of fall, and darn it all if a nice bowl of soup doesn’t just hit the spot. In all honesty, I’m kind of obsessed with soups/stews/chilis and make them year round, but there’s something about a cold stormy day that absolutely demands soup. Why do I love soup so? Well, many reasons. … [Read more…]

Beans, beans, they’re good for your heart… Okay, now that you’ve had your fill of childhood limericks, let’s talk legumes, shall we? Today … [Read more…]
I just re-joined Weight Watchers. I figured it was time for me to do so since I am having such trouble losing these last 20 lbs on my own. I know losing the weight is more like a marathon versus a sprint, but oh my goodness, I do believe I am the slowest “runner” out there- this “training” is … [Read more…]

Its whereabouts in the grocery store perplexed me so I wandered around looking for it and found it … [Read more…]
I’ve got another shrimp recipe for you. This Pad Thai is a family favorite. Well, it’s a favorite with the adults. The kids are just now coming around to trying the shrimp. They don’t eat the noodles because there’s “stuff” on them. One of the reasons I love this recipe so much is because a … [Read more…]
