Whole Wheat Hamburger Buns {bread machine}

September 10, 2011

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not so much a red meat kind of girl.  I gave it up at the age of 12 and haven’t looked back.  I am, though, a huge fan of the turkey burger.  Especially when it’s topped with melted, creamy Havarti cheese, barbecue sauce and avocado.  Burgers are hard-pressed to get [...]

This is the way we…lunch

August 29, 2011

Judging by my Facebook news feed, I think it’s safe to say that the vast majority of American children ventured back to school last Monday.  My children, though, have been in school since mid-July.  So long, in fact, that our year-round district is nearing its first extended break of this school year.  {can I get [...]

This is the Way We…Eat

August 11, 2011

I’m sure that after reading my food guidelines post, it would seem as though we’re left with few choices as to what we actually can eat.  After all, if you were to cruise the grocery store aisles you’d see hardly anything that fits my rigid criteria.  Actually, though, ours is a household full of healthy [...]

Blueberry Coffee Cake

August 5, 2011

Monday through Friday we eat really boring breakfasts.  Good for you breakfasts.  But boring.  Really boring.  So come the weekends, we splurge.  Jeff whips up a batch of his famous pancakes one morning.  And I usually make muffins or some egg concoction the other day.  Every so often, though, I treat the family to this [...]

Mom’s Potato Salad

July 2, 2011

Potato salad gets a bad rap these days, doesn’t it?  Likely because of that mushy slop grocery store delis try to pass off as the real thing.  The real thing, though, is neither mushy or sloppy.  It’s tangy and flavorful–the perfect addition to any Fourth of July backyard barbecue or picnic. I learned to make [...]

Blueberry Nectarine Cobbler

June 25, 2011

As far as fruits go, I’m a summer kind of gal myself.  Winter’s boring oranges and bitter grapefruits are no match for summer’s sweet bounty.  And really, straight from the fields, they’re perfect.  Yet we always find ways to plus them, don’t we?  We shortcake or buckle or creamify them.  My favorite, though?  When we [...]

Tacos Our Way

February 22, 2011

Ours is a household in which Mexican food is served at least once each week.  Usually more.  Among our favorite dishes: enchiladas, burritos, chicken tortilla soup, enchilada casserole, and tacos.  Honestly, in my book, tacos reign supreme. What’s that you say?  Tacos are boring.  ¡NO! Tu es loco en la cabeza. Our tacos are anything [...]
