This is yet another crazy recipe that I came up with while digging through the cupboards looking for something to eat. Nothing fancy, but a great way to use up the little bits of vegetables that collect in the produce drawer. You can substitute any veggies or meat that you like into this recipe and [...]
Every mom is constantly trying to sneak more veggies into the kid’s diet, right? Well, my mother in law inspired me last time we visited her and the outcome was this delicious mini meatball recipe that my kids love and is full of veggie goodness. I think they are great too and usually make myself [...]
Many years ago we attended our friend’s wedding in Mexico. She is from there and her family threw a great day after the wedding party at a local beach resort. They served a soup call Pozole. It was made with pork and hominy and served with a variety of condiments and seasonings. I have also always [...]
We are getting close to grocery shopping day and as it usually goes, we have very little left to eat. So tonight, I was looking for what to feed the kids for dinner and found a can of chicken noodle soup in the back of the pantry. I was really tired today, for some reason, [...]

I always find myself getting in a rut with what I feed to the kids. There is only so much I can get them to eat and I am finally to a point where I don’t have to fix two meals, one for each kid, which is great in some ways, but the pallet is [...]
I love mu shu. It has been one of my favorite things since I was a kid. My parents used to take me out for Chinese food regularly just so that I could have it. Yum yum yum. I have been searching for years for a great mu shu recipe. I never did find the [...]
This is one of those dishes that I just made up out of the sky one day. Hmmm, what to eat for lunch, combine a bunch of random stuff and poof, great dish. Well, some of the time it works out that way. As is also the way with these types of dishes, the ingredient [...]
I love this recipe. This sandwich has become one of my husband and my favorite treats and we make it often. My kids are a little small for this kind of sandwich, but I am sure this would be a huge hit with the kids. I know my daughter would love it, if I could [...]
