  • Tangy Waldorf Fruit Salad

    ,

    The kids love yogurt. Every month we buy a box of assorted yogurt from Costco. It usually will last all month. Mason is crazy over strawberry. Adelin will only eat blueberry and Everett, well he is not picky. I have never thought to try another flavor until last month when I was volunteering in Mason’s…

  • Asian Noodle Bowl

    , ,

    I think Asian cuisine is by far my favorite type of food. It is simple and makes me feel good after I eat it at home or dine at a local chinese restaurant. Tonight was a “all I want is mac and cheese” night. Luckily this dish is so easy and quick to prepare because…

  • Brown Sugar Mustard Glazed Salmon

    ,

    I believe that eating healthy does not have to taste like cardboard and can be satisfying. Salmon happens to be one of my favorite foods. I love the natural rich buttery flavor of salmon. It can be a little expensive but oh so worth the money. Salmon are loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids. Fatty…

  • Simply A Banana Milkshake

    I love that my kids think the milkshakes I make for them are the “Bees Knees”. As I watch them down a cup of un-sugared bliss I am content that they are getting the vitamins growing bodies need. This banana milkshake has very fond memories associated with it. Back when I was in college I…

  • Creamed Tuna and Peas on Toast

    ,

    This is a recipe I used to make all the time in college. Creamed Tune and Peas has been around since the great depression. I can see why. It is cheap to make, filling and perfect for a rainy day. Traditionally it is served over toast. I like it with a baked potato. 1/4 cup…

  • Frosted Banana Bars with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting

    For anyone who knows my kids, they actually allowed three bananas to turn brown. Shocking I know. I was faced with the dilemma of what to with them. Banana bread was out of the question. Muffins and cookies maybe. I settled on the banana bars because the fact that we have brown bananas calls for…

  • Springtime Lemon Muffins

    ,

    A few years ago I attended a bake off held to raise money for a girls youth group. It was a yearly event many residents looked forward to as they stuffed their wallets with cash hoping to snag one of Mrs. A’s delectable delights. Lemon bars were on the block. The gavel rang at $72.00.…

  • Spinach Salad with Pears

    My mother-n-law introduced me to the Partridge in a Pear Tree ornaments from USA pears. My Christmas tree has a Twelve Days of Christmas theme so the pear ornaments fit right in. The cost for a single ornament has been $7.50 plus a store receipt for 3 1/2 pounds of pears. Last year the price…

  • Lemon Angel Food Layer Cake

    I made this cake last year for a luncheon I threw for a few friends; along with my favorite southwestern chicken salad. I used a small loaf of angel food cake making three layers rather than six. I tried to find lemon curd in the bakery and cold isle of the market but was unsuccessful.…

  • Lemony Grilled Chicken Without the Sauce

    ,

    I tried a recipe last week entitled Broccoli and Butternut Squash Fettuccini and Lemon Chicken. It was a little gormet for the kids and Stephen. I liked the idea but do not think I will ever make it again unless I make a few changes. The lemon chicken however was a hit. 1-2 tbsp Olive…
