Mother running on empty...
We can all pretend that we are always ready to whip up a meal for our starving kids. But, after being on the road or on a plane for a month straight, I would rather everyone just make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. When I came across the recipe for quick spicy beef burritos in…
You know when you have a way to save time in the kitchen, but don’t yell it from the the mountaintops because you think your friends already know it? Well, that happened to me recently. A few of us were sitting around when one of my friends said “Thank goodness someone told me about Leah’s…
When school gets out don’t we all have all these grand plans. Well, when you are in the country of Indiana this is what ends up happening. You get a puppy. Yes, he is a GoldenDoodle. His name is Moses. We call him Moe. But then, you have to deal with a sad little Checkers….
I think I have a love hate relationship with summer. I love the warm weather. I love flip flops. I love not having to wear a coat. I have gotten bold lately. Especially with colors. Curious people have been asking what my secrets are to buying cute clothes that are comfortable and not so “momish.”…

Since beef roast is made so often at our house, I have perfected the nearly 30 minute beef and noodles when I am in need of a quick meal. If your roast isn’t already broken into pieces, do so before starting to make beef and noodles. Break it up it will break into fine pieces…
I don’t know if it was the cold weather or all the cheese or the cold, rainy weather. Either way, this lasagna soup was a welcome sight at supper time. Begin with two pounds of Italian sausage. I had ground pork, so I add seasonings to the pork to make it Italian. Brown pork till…
You may have noticed this little giveaway going on thanks to Gooseberry Patch. Well, this might be my favorite cookbook yet from the gals over at Gooseberry Patch. This cheeseburger macaroni recipe is one of the reasons. For any of you hamburger helper lovers, this is a great knock-off without the box. Start by browning…
I love this book. Maybe it is because it has some great recipes in it for a crazy busy parent like me. It even features my Italian Bread Pizza. These recipes are quick to make. Like these Italian Steak Sandwiches. Or this Speedy Lasagna Skillet. Which I think I might make tonight again. OK, maybe…
