Foolproof Plan for Mother’s Day
Dads out there, today’s blog is for YOU and your crew. This is the moment for you and your able-bodied crew to shine. To show Mom how you can band together and treat her to the best homemade Mother’s Day dinner EVER! I’ve planned a super easy and delicious menu for you guys to prepare on Sunday. You’ll get the glory of being King of the Grill, the kids will get to help out, and Moms everywhere will thank me that the kitchen didn’t get completely trashed in the process. You can’t go wrong!

Skillet Strata with Asparagus & Boursin
I’m thinking ahead to this weekend and the semi-controlled chaos of Easter morning. It’s always a very big deal for the FamDam, mainly because of how The Bunny chooses to hide the prized baskets. I know you’re not going to be able to fathom this, but that wacky little Bunny strings hundreds of yards of yarn through nearly every room of our house and leaves ‘the goods’ at the end of the string. Three kids, three baskets, three different multi-colored yarn trails.

Turkey Meat Loaf & Smashed Redskin Potatoes
I am planning on lightening up a little bit though, so I made one of my favorite meat loaves this weekend. This recipe makes a huge meat loaf, just so you know. I usually make the whole thing, then divide it in half and freeze one for a rainy day. Leftovers make fabulous sandwiches!

Simple Supper
Good Monday afternoon! What a terrific weekend it was — great weather, good food, and fun times spent with some of my favorite people. The only bummer is that the Packers lost, but what an exciting game! I had it on in the kitchen while I was prepping this delicious Sunday supper.

Chicken Gyro Wraps
I hope you all found the time to cruise the meat and seafood sale on Tuesday! When I stopped by the Mequon store at noon, the meat counter was packed with carnivorous shoppers snapping up bargains (“beefing” up their freezers, maybe?! I know, sorry). My freezer is now well-stocked with baby backs, pork tenderloin, and ground chuck. A value pack of boneless chicken breasts also found its way into my cart. I’m using half of it for today’s recipe: Chicken Gyros with Yogurt Feta Sauce.

Black Bean Soup & Roasted Vegetable Quesadillas
Ugh, I feel like ten dollars this morning. This is not a good way to start the week.
I ate too much this weekend. And if you want the truth, I went overboard on the cocktails, too – we went to a really fun (LATE) dinner party on Friday, then out to the lake on Saturday, and had company on Sunday. The weather was gorgeous, and I just felt like livin’ it up and indulged just a teensy bit too much.

Simple Supper
Last night I made one of the most economical, yet delicious soups ever: this wonderful Cream of Asparagus. You would never believe it has only FIVE (yes, “5”) SIMPLE INGREDIENTS! I already threw the receipt away, but if I just do the math in my head, I think the entire pot cost a grand total of around $8.00, for (roughly) six servings. It’s hard to beat that!
