Soft French toast is a good place to start anyway. My recent dental surgery (one tooth from each side of my lower jaw) left me living on soft scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, applesauce, and pudding. It feels good to be able to chew, even if I still have to be careful. My oldest was supposedContinue reading “I Can Chew!”

Two Chicken Dinners
This is Leftover Chicken Stir Fry that wasn’t necessarily cooked that way. Our kitchen is fairly small. Chores have been more difficult to accomplish lately. And our recycling is piling up. This leaves me limited space for meal making. I did manage to get the chicken in the crockpot yesterday. I whipped up some mashedContinue reading “Two Chicken Dinners”
Budget Meals
Spaghetti is definitely one of my go-to meals in the colder months. Especially when we’re craving some comfort. Tonight seemed like a good night for that. January is always tough. I feel like it’s also the fastest month of the year. We’re almost through. Finances are tight. While better times should be ahead, now isContinue reading “Budget Meals”
What’s For Dinner?
Dinner was a hit! And I even forgot to add seasoning. Again. I’m really bad at that with casseroles. I would have been happier with some salt and pepper at least, but it was really good. I was going to use egg noodles, but I guess I used them up already. So I grabbed threeContinue reading “What’s For Dinner?”
Easy End of the Week Dinner
As it gets colder out, I begin trying to keep frozen stuffed pastas on hand. After a stressful week and a birthday sleepover that started four hours early I was very low on energy or motivation for dinner. Add to that the pile of dishes and dirty pots from the party (which I’ve already doneContinue reading “Easy End of the Week Dinner”

Dinner Now, Dinner Later
Once again, I’m getting back on track. Every time I do, it starts with food. I had a couple ideas for meals and set off for the grocery store with my youngest. We have been eating abysmally lately and it shows. Digestive issues, sluggishness, and awful moods with tempers flying. Tonight I made rice withContinue reading “Dinner Now, Dinner Later”
Summer is for Smoothies!
We bought a nice blender several years ago so we could make smoothies with the kids and treat ourselves as well. We go through swings of them in this house, and right now, we’re really into them. My husband’s recipes tend to be more like a dessert, while mine are more like a snack. HeContinue reading “Summer is for Smoothies!”
Cooking with Nothing
Another meal created by playing ‘what’s hiding in the kitchen?‘. Egg noodles, leftover cooked ground turkey, kidney beans, peas, corn, and cheese. I cooked the pasta and put the frozen corn and peas in the oven with butter. After heating that for a bit I mixed in the beans and ground turkey. Salt, pepper, mincedContinue reading “Cooking with Nothing”
Motivated to Cook!
These are the two latest magazines in my recipe collection. They are chalk full of amazing ideas and I’ve made a couple meals so far, even if they become something fairly different in my kitchen. Tonight we’re having cheese topped black bean burgers with sweet potatoes and rice with veggies. It feels really good toContinue reading “Motivated to Cook!”
