I’m a bit of a muffin junkie and so is Logan. Muffin recipes are usually a great way for me to get him to try something new, or to coax a little extra nutrition into him. When I saw that my new Cuisinart Elite 12 Cup Food Processor could make muffins, I knew that I …

Logan starts kindergarten this year and I don’t know who’s more excited, him or me. True, I did voice my concerns over some of the school rules. (thank you for all your supportive comments on that!) We are going to “meet the teacher” tonight and we’ll make a decision after that depending on how we …

We had kindergarten orientation for Logan today. He has been so ready for summer to be over and get back to school (he loved preschool and loves to learn). I have been ready for him to go back to school (summer has been particularly trying this year). We got up all excited and anticipating a …

I love lasagna. But really, turning the oven on for that long in the summer just isn’t an option. Then I saw this recipe featured in Jaden’s TLC column and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t thought of the idea for a No-Bake Lasagna. DUH! The grilled vegetables just alone tossed with some feta would be …

In a couple of hours I’m on my way to the Albuquerque airport for another trip. Crazy, right? I only got home from Utah after attending Evo Conference three days ago and I didn’t even bother to unpack my suitcase. But, really, who passes up a trip to Scottsdale, Arizona for a day of hands-on …

A few weeks ago I bought zucchini for something, only when the time came to make dinner I couldn’t remember what that something was. I hadn’t written my menu down that week, and I hadn’t posted it on This Week For Dinner either. What to do?? Our dinner ended up sort of random, but I …

I know something is a hit when it gets requested over and over again. Or when it receives rave reviews every time time I make it from a guy (Eric) who doesn’t have favorites. Or when my friend with a picky family says that they all love this one. The guy-who-doesn’t-have-favorites’ verdict on this dish? …

It must still be summer here, because I’m still cranking out zucchini from the garden and trying to figure out how to incorporate it into meals without getting sick of it. From pasta with chicken, to pasta with shrimp, to muffins, and more, zucchini has definitely had a frequent spot on our menu this summer. …

I think it’s safe to say that I wouldn’t have survived the week (in terms of meal planning) without my garden. Every meal I made was with ingredients I already had in the house, or was growing in the garden. Coming back from a trip alone is a lot more work than I anticipated. The …

Last night was my first day cooking dinner since back from my trip. I decided to ease into things, so we ordered pizza on Monday night. Yesterday was full of craziness – cranky kids, a failed trip to Lowes, followed by a long, but successful trip to Home Depot for a solution to the blossom …
