The Way to a Father’s Heart…
| 
……is through fiscal responsibility. This week’s sale ad features ribeye steaks, crab legs, and jumbo prawns. Delightful. Delicious. Delovely, for sure. But even at their sale price, they’re some pricey menu items. The father of my children would not appreciate a meal of such extravagance at this particular moment in time, I can guarantee you that right now……oh yes, I certainly can.

Angel Hair Pasta with Broccoli & Fresh Herbs
| 
I was looking for a quick, concise title for today’s post. I thought about “Fast, Cheap & Easy”, but I thought that would open the door for a deluge of smart-aleck jokes and racy remarks. And this is a family blog. Read the rest of this entry »

Black and Blueberry Crisp with Peaches
| 
It’s 10am and I just ate this photo shoot. For breakfast. Don’t tell the food police, or my mother, or my kids. Or anyone else who might go all Judge Judy on me for choosing to eat fruit crisp and vanilla ice cream for the most important meal of the day. It couldn’t be helped. You’ll see.

Bacon Wrapped Scallops
| 
It’s Thursday and I’m dog tired, man. Beat. Bushed. Bleary-eyed and world-weary.
I’m looking forward to Friday night and possibly hanging out with our neighbor friends on the patio or around a roaring bonfire…I’m secretly hoping that someone out there in the cul-de-sac will read this today, do the neighborly thing, and invite us over for conversation and good cheer.

Sloppy Jose’s
| 
Seven super-short school days to go before summer vacation begins, and the countdown is on! Is it just me, or does it seem like there’s a LOT to cram in before next Wednesday arrives?! We’ve gotta get our kids through field day, picnics and class trips; help ‘em wrap up last minute projects and study for final exams; attend music programs, graduations, dances, and carpool to a seemingly endless string of parties…the list goes on and on. You probably have a few fabulous functions of your own that I haven’t mentioned. Go ahead and pile ‘em on. We’re moms. We can deal. Read the rest of this entry »

Shrimp and Noodle Salad with Ginger Dressing
| 
I’d be in such heaven right now if I hadn’t sworn myself off carbs until around the 10th of never. I’m a sucker for any Asian inspired salad, and this one has all of the ingredients that tickle me pink – shrimp, pasta, cilantro, and a salty teriyaki dressing. But after the Molten Brownie Pudding incident from a few days back – well, no carbs for me. Read the rest of this entry »

Molten Brownie Pudding
| 
I have no frugal dinner suggestion to speak of today.
Because the nightly news, the DJIA, and the Brewers have me feeling like the apocalypse is drawing near.
Because I feel like planet earth is about to implode in an earthquaking, oil-slicked, Icelandic-volcano-ash-plumed ball of flames. Read the rest of this entry »

Picnic Pork Chop Sandwich
| 
I love the chicken and pork sandwich fillets you can get in the meat department now. I’ve tried both and am sold on this cut! They cook quickly and are a great option for an easy dinner on a busy night – or, haul all your goods to the ballpark and enjoy this sandwich next time you tailgate. Hopefully by that time the Brewer’s will have turned things around – as I write this they’ve lost their past seven games! Read the rest of this entry »

Cedar Planked Salmon with Apricot & Jalapeno Glaze
| 
I had an adventure yesterday afternoon. I’ll admit that I was a little jittery and nervous to start with, but it turned out to be a fun little thrill and I can’t wait to try it again sometime soon! It’s exciting to dabble in risky behavior, right? Face your fears head on? Step out of your comfort zone and learn something new? Read the rest of this entry »

Ann’s Creamy Carrot Soup
| 
Last Saturday night the Husband and I, along with another couple, had the pleasure of dining at the home of our friends, Ann and Greg. Dinner at a friend’s house is easily my favorite way to spend a Saturday evening. Really, is there anything better than receiving a dinner invitation? It’s a down-right honor, is what it is. That a friend thinks enough of you to pick up her kid’s dirty socks, sweep the crumb-y kitchen floor, and slave away preparing a meal is enough to make me weak in the knees with appreciation.
