Enjoy Sendik’s All Week
| 
Hi everyone, and happy Thursday already. Life is always busy, but time really starts flying as we near the end of another school year, doesn’t it? Papers are due and there are finals to study for and concerts and picnics and banquets and yadda yadda yadda – none of this stops the fact that people still get hungry and dinner must be served. People are hungrier in fact, and Mom must come to the rescue. Read the rest of this entry »
Ginger-Soy Grilled Steak
| 
Oh my gosh, here’s a post for any and all bargain-hunting carnivores: I’ve got one for you today. A really good one. And even though I almost just burned my house down (no lie) by broiling the steak that’s in the photo above, I am still like, mega excited to tell you about this recipe. However due to the recent pyrotechnics in the oven, my entire house now smells like an Outback Steakhouse, so let’s just get on with this so that I can get on with the small matter of airing out the joint.

Enjoy Sendik’s All Week, Mother’s Day Edition & Dressed Up Scrambled Eggs
| 
In case you were bitten by the crepe bug with Tuesday evening’s post, I thought I would give you a couple more suggestions for different ways to serve crepes to your sweet mama this coming Sunday. Maybe the eggs-over-easy from the Crepe Squares isn’t your mom’s thing. If that’s the case, try stuffing your crepes with my favorite scrambled eggs. If she has a sweet tooth, I also have two fabulous sugary options that could also be served as dessert later on in the day. Have fun in the kitchen, and remember to leave the place even more spotless than you found it. : ) Read the rest of this entry »

Enjoy Sendik’s All Week
|
I’m so excited that Cinco de Mayo is coming up on Sunday because it gives me the perfect excuse to whip up more Mexican-inspired food for my gang. You just know they’re tickled to bits about that news, since I hardly ever make Mexican food at home (wink, wink). Here three kid tested, mom approved, Cinco de Mayo worthy recipes that make excellent use of the ingredients featured in the current Sendik’s sale ad. Read the rest of this entry »
Chicken & Black Bean Quesadillas

Wanna make something that’s quick, easy and completely delicious? I mean, I’m assuming you do – that’s probably why you’ve come here today. People don’t frequent this blog for gardening guidance or fashion tips. You’re here because you’re looking for dinnertime inspiration, and you guys know I love to dish it out.

Enjoy Sendik’s All Week
|
Here are three great kid tested, mom approved recipes to help you decide what on earth to make your own DamFamily for dinner this week. I’m including two pork chop recipes because at $1.99 lb. for Sendik’s Natural Boneless Pork Sirloin Chops, you really can’t go wrong serving them up in one form or another sometime soon. Inexpensive and delicious at the same time — it’s a win win! Read the rest of this entry »
Pork Chops with Ginger Soy Glaze and Coconut Rice with Scallions & Almonds
| 
Here’s another one of those open-palm-meets-forehead recipes that I’ve had in my repertoire for a long, long time (since 2/2000 according to my chicken scratch) but has never made its way to the blog until today. It’s such an easy prep for a simple and inexpensive cut of pork, and I am sorry for not sharing it before now. I’ve been holding out on you guys, I guess! But since boneless sirloin chops are on sale this week, there’s no time like the present. Give them a try, and don’t skip the coconut rice — it’s not that much more work than making a boxed version but tastes just a little extra special. In fact, it goes over so well here that I’m always mad I didn’t make a wee bit more. Read the rest of this entry »

Enjoy Sendik’s All Week & A Great Mango Smoothie
| 
This week, I’m discussing my habits with you here – Tuesday it was my pizza issue. Today, it’s mangoes. The DamFam fights over mangoes the same way we do about greasy cartons of Chinese food leftovers. I guess there are worse things to fight about. So when mangoes go on sale, like they are this week, I stock up. I bring them home and put my handy little mango pitter to work (do you have one? This is what it looks like). I pit them, then slice the halves lengthwise, lop off the peels, then cut the strips into cubes. I usually put some in a fruit salad right way and stash the rest in the freezer for smoothies. Here’s one of our favorites. Read the rest of this entry »

Barbecued Chicken Pizza & Foolproof Poached Chicken Breasts
| 
I’m still on my mini pizza kick. What better little obsession is there to have, really? I guess there’s always fitness. And diligent flossing. Or never skipping a healthy breakfast. All good and useful routines to develop and embrace, and each one is less expensive than the hardcore proclivities like designer shoe shopping, fancy French truffles or Beluga caviar. Pizza and fitness. They go hand in hand. Read the rest of this entry »
