One of my husband’s favorite meals growing up was Chicken Stuffing Casserole, or as I call it, Thanksgiving in a 9X13. So there’s chicken instead of turkey, but it still feels like Thanksgiving to me. It’s one of our favorite comfort food dishes. On Monday we took a meal to a friend who recently had …
So it’s no secret that we love ourselves some Caprese Salad around here. And if the cold weather our tomatoes have been taking forever to ripen, but now that they are finally coming in I’ve thoroughly enjoyed using them in my cooking. And when baby S recently turned 1 I decided to make a Caprese …
One of the big ways we’ve saved money as parents is to cloth diaper. Another is that we make our own baby food. Rarely do I buy jars or pouches of baby food. Typically I reserve those for convenience, particularly when we are traveling. We make our own baby food because it saves us money, …
We had a wonderful Memorial Day and weekend which included parades, history lessons, and a cookout. We’ve been doing The Daniel Plan for 15 days now, but for the holiday weekend we took a break. I know, that’s not strictly sticking to the plan, but life is life. We were more loose with our eating …
My main breakfast while on The Daniel Plan has been a smoothie and an egg. I don’t like to eat raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries.

St. Patrick’s Day is coming and I’m starting to get into a festive mood. I’ve had the “Sounds of the Season” music channel on all week long and I decided to make some corned beef. Every year in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia St. Patrick’s Church holds the Church Hill Irish Festival the weekend after …
Well, it’s still cold here. And there’s still snow everywhere. Sigh. Spring will come some day, right? So it’s week 3 of my “soup” diet. I’m not really on a soup diet, but in an effort to have something healthy that is a convenient meal for me I have made up a big pot of …
I saw this pasta fagioli recipe on Pinterest recently and it got me hungry for it. The only place I have ever had this soup is Olive Garden and I love it, so I wanted to try to make it at home. I made some adaptations to the original recipe that I mentioned mainly because …
My preschooler enjoys cooking, so this year for Valentine’s Day I thought we would make some cookies to give to the loves in his life- Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa, Memaw and Grandpa. I’ve been working on finding a good chocolate chip cookie recipe, and the one we have liked the most is the Betty Crocker’s …
This soup has absolutely nothing to do with the Super Bowl other than the fact that I made it just before the Super Bowl came on. Really, I was making it while my husband and son were watching the Puppy Bowl, but the name Puppy Bowl Soup just isn’t quite as appealing. This recipe has …
