Yes, I’m procrastinating today at getting my menu plan up. I definitely have a case of the “Look, squirrel!” syndrome today. Except it was this beautiful hawk, who is one of 2 giant ones that hangs out in my yard. He landed right out the window when I happened to have my camera sitting next to me. From this past week’s [...]
By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by National Honey Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Honey is one of my favorite sweeteners. I talked about my love of honey in this post for my Honey Whole Wheat [...]
I’m pretty impressed that the week after vacation, my menu plan was pretty much followed exactly, though in a different order from what was originally planned. Well, all except for the Cucumber and Napa Cabbage Cole Slaw which I never made. My farmers market basket had a wonderful broccoli slaw mix that I used instead. And [...]
I was actually on vacation last week and now that we are back, I’m trying to get back on track! Yes, I still had a menu plan last week – we had to eat something while we were away, but I didn’t want to be cooking the whole week either. Expect a post soon about vacation [...]
This past week, my Broccoli & Sausage Egg “Muffins” came in handy for a quick breakfast on the run. It was definitely one of these weeks where I was short on time, freezer leftovers came in handy and my menu plan was a general suggestion! But that is what happens some weeks. And summer has [...]
This month’s Recipe Redux theme is all about showers, or brunch parties. It is that time of year for baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, etc. My first thought was that my Breakfast Pizza with Cauliflower Crust would have been perfect! Instead, I came up with a dish that would be great for a buffet style brunch, Broccoli [...]
A few years ago, I had gotten some produce from Farmers Market Baskets and loved the service, but it just wasn’t convenient for me. Well, they finally have a pick-up location near me so I got my produce from them this past week, pictured above. I could not be more pleased with the selection, but [...]
I hope all the mother’s out there had a wonderful day yesterday. I had a great day with my family. We had early dim sum with my husband’s family and then went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens afterwards. I just love the botanical gardens. We got a family membership this past year which we have [...]
Well I got too complacent with almost a whole month of being illness-free in this house and then E got sick again. A middle of the night trip to the ER derailed me for a day or two (though she is fine – just a really nasty virus that is thankfully almost gone and so [...]
