More Than A Song

Shannon over at Rocks In My Dryer hosts Works for Me Wednesday each week. There’s always many great ideas for the home & family there but this week is themed and all about eating well and healthy recipes/tips. So I decided to play this week and share a salad dressing recipe that I’ll make and […]

I’m not sure I should really post my menu this week because it’s a short week for me! But maybe it will help me at least get a meal on the table for a few days. Monday……..Quesadillas, and something to go with them but I need an idea Tuesday…….Grilled salmon, veggies Wednesday….church supper Thursday……Baked chicken, […]

I’m finding it hard to get back into a routine again after the holidays! I did make this recipe about a week or so ago and it was pretty good. Served it over pasta as the recipe called for; it seemed a little runny to me and I thought it might actually work better as […]

I need to be so organized this week but I’m afraid it’s not going to happen! I have some menus planned, which will help with the shopping and preparing……but right now I can’t decide which day to have which thing! So here is a general idea of what I’m doing, or hoping to do. Last […]

It will be busy this week so not sure all these meals will happen as planned. One child finishes exams and will be home in a few days so some of these could change depending on what he might want to eat! He’s not too picky but sometimes it’s nice to fix them something they […]

Laura at Organizing Junkie is still out of town and not posting this Monday but this helps me stay on track for shopping. And when it’s four or five in the afternoon, I know what to fix for supper!

I’ve been gone for a week and it’s hard to get back in the groove of cooking! We are supposed to fly to Amelia Island for a business trip this week but I think that’s going to get cancelled due to the fact that we were gone last week. Here is my tentative plan for […]

I’ve been busy cooking and freezing things for Thanksgiving. I won’t have much left to do on Thursday, plus I’m not responsible for the whole meal this year. Several other family members are bringing dishes too so I’m sure we’ll have lots of food! My contributions will be 2 pies, homemade sourdough bread, green bean […]

Hope everyone has a good week. Sunday……..Baked chicken and potatoes, butternut squash Monday…….Fish, veggies Tuesday & Wednesday…..eat out with family Thursday…..Thanksgiving with family: […]

I’ve had a few people ask me some questions about the steel cut oats so I thought I’d find a little info for you. Steel cut oats are whole grain oats and are supposed to be better for you than regular oats. Sometimes they are called Irish or Scottish oats too I believe. Bob’s Red […]
