THIS DINNER! I think I may be eating this for the next week straight.  Or at least every day that Kyle’s out of town from now on.  It’s so good!  And so easy! It all came about when I was brainstorming what to make for dinner.  Usually when Kyle’s gone I try to make something with ingreds he doesn’t like (ie zucchini, cucumber, dill, pickled stuff).  But what I was really in the mood for was Italian dressing.  I know that sounds weird, but when you have a craving you have a craving. Rather than buy… Read more >

You HAD to know this was coming, right? This was actually inspired by a pot of steel cut oats I made for the kids last week, which smelled JUST like pie and thanks to the vanilla, cinnamon and brown sugar (!!!) I added to it, it basically was! Can you believe how juicy these nectarines are? Should I stop asking you rhetorical questions?? Seriously, though, all I did was a rough chop of these (in the pyrex).  Some of them I just squeezed with my hands until the pit popped out.  So that’s just raw… Read more >

Brace your self people, because the next few weeks I’m going to be making a ton of nectarine recipes.

Sure enough, I polished off this green juice and made another right after!  So I am set for the next few days again. And sure enough, that WF grain and kale salad lasted me two lunches. So now let’s talk about dinners! As a challenge to myself, I held off on grocery shopping this week. I knew I had enough leftovers to get me through Monday and Tuesday so I wanted to see how far I could get.  I had pulled pork in the freezer and broccoli in the crisper drawer and the rest of Monday’s… Read more >

Summer time and the living’s easy… I had an identity crisis on Wednesday when I was BY MYSELF for 2 hours in the middle of the day.  Kid free. Ok, I will back up. For the first time in all of my time momming, both kids are drop off eligible for camps that are at the same time!  His was from 9-2 and hers was from 1030-1230.  I wasn’t sure how they would do but it was easy peasy, no separation issues at all!  [FYI that’s still rare for us, even at places like church… Read more >
