I know, I haven’t posted much at all this week but it’s been a week of party planning, and very little of much else.  Expect to see several recipes over the next few days from things I am making for my son’s 3rd birthday party.  It’s a “medieval times” theme and I’ve got a menu [...]

I woke up cranky.. very very cranky.  I’m a last minute tax person, and it’s tax time.  When you add that (and the fact we always owe) to the unemployment, well it makes for one very cranky me.  I didn’t get much sleep last night either due to a combination of stress and someone’s snoring [...]

It’s a sunny Sunday morning! We got up and I took my son to church. Saw a little boy being baptized and it brought back such nice memories of when my boy was baptized there. Last night’s Indian meal was fantastic, and even my husband liked it. I did use light cream instead of heavy [...]

Ah it’s finally Saturday. Today was Caelan’s first swim class in the next level. We got up early since it started at 8 am. He did great! He even put his face in the water. It’s a big step from his first class where he cried “all done!” for the first 20 minutes of class [...]

Sorry all, for the lack of posts.  Job hunting has me busy, and I have used up a lot of frozen leftovers, etc., this week.  I’m in a bit of a funk.  Maybe it’s time to turn on “Julie & Julia” and get inspired. I obviously need to plan a few meals, so I hope [...]

Well, it’s the day after Easter and back to the ol’ grind.  I was up at about 4:15 thinking about all the things one worries about when unemployed.  Then I got up at 5 and sent out resumes, followed up on some leads, etc.  After that I started on the rest of the dishes from [...]

Happy Easter to all!  It’s been a very full weekend.  I’m going to be sad when it’s over for sure.  Yesterday we had a condo Easter party where everyone brought the kids down to the community room and brought food, did crafts, and hunted for eggs.  The kids had a blast.  Then we had 2 [...]

Yesterday was Good Friday, and the last Friday of Lent where I try not to eat meat. So, I made this recipe from Cooking Light. Leftovers are in the fridge now and I can’t stop picking at it, I liked it that much. I did make a few changes, and have noted them as well. [...]

Well this was the title of Giada’s recent show on the Food Network.  I figured it kind of goes along with how I’ve been feeling about this job stuff… so why not make the dish for dinner!  I did lighten it up.  I only used a portion of the pancetta, and I didn’t cook it [...]
