So, Child #4 is sick. Child #3 is also sick. Child #2 is trying desperately trying to not catch this cold, as am I. Solution? Chicken soup! However, I do not like chicken soup!

Valentine’s Day and My Absence
This time of year sort of depresses me. Usually it’s gloomy out, and the fact that my valentines are my kiddos only. 😔. I’ve been struggling lately with all of that. It’s not that I am not completely grateful for everything that I have and everyone that is in my life. It’s just hard knowingContinue reading “Valentine’s Day and My Absence”
A Burger Upgrade
This evening I was making some burgers for dinner. What can I say, I found three packages for clearance 50% off, so one for dinner, and two into the freezer for another two meals. Score! Anyway, I had this idea to take a package of our favorite cheddar garlic biscuits and make them into hamburgerContinue reading “A Burger Upgrade”

Are You Stuffed Like Zucchini?
Ah, yes, the promised stuffed zucchini recipe! I got a lovely, large zucchini from the community garden, along with a green pepper, and three small, purple onions and their greens, as well as a medium tomato. Ok. The medium tomato came from the grocery store and was looking a little worse for wear. What canContinue reading “Are You Stuffed Like Zucchini?”
Child #2’s Chimichangas
Yesterday, as you may know, was Cinco de Mayo, or Mexican independence day. We, in the states, tend to celebrate it too. Hey, it’s another reason to party, people! So, Child #3 decided that she would make chimichangas. She has been perfecting this recipe for a while now, and I’ll tell you, they are awesome!Continue reading “Child #2’s Chimichangas”
Vanity Pancakes
Every once in a while we have breakfast for dinner. This is especially popular during Fridays in Lent, when we do not eat meat. Yesterday, Child #2 decided to make vanity pancakes. Vanity pancakes are light and fluffy. We generally make at least a double batch, since a single batch makes 20, 6″ pancakes. TheseContinue reading “Vanity Pancakes”
