Fried rice is a staple in our household. I love the fact that I can make a delicious a dish that includes veggies, starch and protein that tastes good and is healthy. We have fried rice every week or every two weeks and have been for years, I think almost 7 years. In the beginning, [...]

I woke up early for the first day of school to make sure that both Natalie and I were ready to go in time. I probably should have won the “Mother of the Year” award. Not only did I pack a cute Bento lunch, watch for that post in the next few days, but I [...]

I love s’mores! I think now Natalie also loves them as much as me. We went camping this past weekend and Natalie couldn’t wait each night for the fire so she could make a s’more. We even bought strawberry marshmallows this time. Her favorite was one plain and one strawberry marshmallow. Yummy! Let’s get back [...]

What is better than a frozen ore0 pie on a hot summer day? Friends invited us over to their house to go swimming and of course we accepted. We couldn’t go empty handed so Natalie and I made this very easy pie. While shopping we were looking at the puddings and Natalie saw the Oreo [...]

Did you ever see those already baked mini pizza crusts in the grocery store? I am sure you did and I am sure many have used them. When Natalie and I went to Disney Nick said that he rediscovered them because they fit perfectly in our toaster oven and they were a great one person [...]

Who doesn’t love home made macaroni and cheese?! Well, I sure do. A lot of kids only like the boxed kind too but not Natalie she actually loves both! The last time I made this, it was entirely too much. This particular recipe has half of it made in 10 6-8 ounce ramekins for children [...]

One of Natalie’s favorite songs to listen to is “She’ll be Coming Around the Mountain.” Every time we listened to it she always said that she wanted to have Chicken and Dumplings. So I had to make it for her. I made it more like a chicken noodle soup but instead of adding noodles I [...]

Salty Caramel Ice Cream

Over the Easter holiday I thought I would try a different ice cream recipe. I wanted something different than vanilla, although I really like vanilla ice cream. Home made ice cream is so easy with the Ice Cream Maker for the Kitchen Aid mixer so I thought it wouldn’t be too hard. I even thought [...]
