Lo que es la salsa de mojo?

Lo que es la salsa de mojo? …. What IS mojo sauce you ask? Well, it’s a little bottle of heaven, I think.  You can make it from scratch.  I even have a recipe for it… but why?  I know, I always try to mimic things and make them myself (I even tried to make [...]

Wild Mushroom and Chicken Stir Fry

Tonight it took about an hour to get home (I’m still working on finding my perfect commute route.. and this one wasn’t it).  So, I walked in the door, and started up the rice cooker.  My husband helped man the stove and together, we cooked up this stir fry.  It was absolutely delicious.  We also [...]

Meal ideas for next week

Since I’m working now, I need quick & easy meal ideas… but those that are Weight Watcher friendly too since I’m starting meetings at work and could use to lose my 7 pounds of “unemployment weight” that I seem to have put on. I put this list together for the next week, along with items [...]

Our 10th Anniversary

On June 24, my husband and I celebrated out 10 year anniversary.  We got married at 25, and spent years working and traveling and having fun before we had our son in 2007.  We were going to go on a trip to celebrate but decided to stay local.  I had Thursday and Friday scheduled off [...]

The new job

Well, I’m officially back to being a working Mom.  The new job is really great.  I’m working with an amazing group of people and I already look forward to seeing them the next day… so that is a good start!  I am enjoying it, but it is also an adjustment.  My husband has been picking [...]

The last day before the new job

What a mix of emotions I have today.  I woke up at 5:45 am, yes, on a Sunday.  I started thinking about all I have to do today before I start work tomorrow.  Then, I was just panicked and sad a bit about the fact that this time off with my son is over.  I’m [...]

California Chicken Panini

I have the most wonderful contraption here at home… it’s a Cuisinart Griddler.  My husband bought it for me one Christmas and we use it more than once a week.  On Sunday mornings, we make pancakes on it with the griddle plates.  On a weeknight we use the grill plates and open it up flat [...]

Fruit Dip

This morning I’m a bit sad.  The week already seems to be flying by.  Every chore I take on to get done before I start work seems pointless because the house gets messy again anyway.  And I’m starting to think about time away from my son and it’s making me a bit melancholy.  I keep [...]

What’s next.. and Copycat Recipes

Well, I’ve got some big changes coming up.  This next week is my last week of unemployment.  Yep, this Multitasking Mom is headed back to work.  And, not just any work… I’m headed back into the office after telecommuting from home for the past 3 years.  So, I need to overhaul my wardrobe, get organized, [...]

Pizza

Ok, I admit it.  I have a great recipe for pizza dough and sauce… and I keep trying new ones.  Then I end up confessing that they are not as good as my sister-in-law’s recipe, and go back to it yet again.  I should stick to what I know!  Plus, her sauce is amazing and [...]
