Everyone is doing well; she is a healthy beautiful little girl and I am so excited for the new parents and all the adventures they will have. It is super sweet to see my son who is a pretty big guy holding his tiny little daughter, melts my … Continue reading Cabbage and Sausage soup

I was away last weekend for my anniversary and came home Sunday afternoon to my daughter in the kitchen with a plan for the week. Literally had the week planned out to what we were eating each night last week. One of her plans had me starting dinner since I work from home because making a roasted chicken during the week is not always the … Continue reading roasted chicken with croutons
I had picked up some ground turkey at Sam’s club the other day which means I had a lot of ground turkey I either had to freeze or use up. I made the chili I shared with you that was great and I will make again so I wanted to try to make some Italian meatballs. I was a little hesitant only because I love … Continue reading Turkey Meatballs

I wasn’t really … Continue reading Polish Gingerbread Cookies
I was looking for an older recipe I wrote about before for today’s blog. Reason being is I didn’t really make anything note worthy this past week.

So this recipe Portuguese recipe popped up … Continue reading Portuguese Braised Pork Shoulder and Clams

Well this past week I made several new things I could or better thought I could have shared. The only problem is I messed up two of … Continue reading Infused watermelon & fresco cheese salad
I was just reflecting on how quiet it was sitting out here on the porch with the dog. THEN my son showed up with his dog to let him run around the field to expel some energy. Luckily his dog and our dog get along quite well and chasing tennis balls is the best game ever. Last week for our #worldwidewednesday family dinner we went … Continue reading Mongolian Beef & Buuz meat filled dumpling
Current situation is sitting on the porch with my husband and dog. The husband is watching some YouTube video on how to do something he needs to do for work. (update – he was actually watching how to install heads on my Mustang- totally unnecessary) The dog is mad that we are not throwing is his tennis balls so he is destroying a stick that … Continue reading Citrus Cake
