Chicken, Basil, and Mushroom Fettuccine

Tonight I cooked one of the four meals I have planned for the week. The fact that I actually followed through with making this meal is quite a feat for me, and hopefully my success tonight will mean that I'll be able to follow through with the rest of the week's meals. The meal tonight, [...]

Welcome To Our Bloggy Progressive Dinner

Merry Christmas, and welcome to the first stop of our Bloggy Progressive Dinner! I will be serving a holiday beverage today. But it's not the traditional eggnog, because I've never really cared for eggnog myself. Instead I've chosen a drink that will satisfy the sweet tooth of all the chocoholics among us — Creamy White [...]

Goodbye, Flat Pancakes!

I've rarely made pancakes from scratch that weren't flat and practically tasteless. So I was understandably skeptical when I tried Jenny's recipe for Good Old-Fashioned Pancakes, which she promised would produce nice, fluffy pancakes. But Jenny was right. The pancakes did turn out light and fluffy — and delicious! Now I just have to figure [...]

Slow Cooker Chicken Wet Burritos

Wet burritos is one of our family's favorite meals. I've made them before with refried beans as a filling and with a taco meat/bean filling, but I'd never made them with chicken until last night. After having tried all three versions, I would have to say that chicken is my favorite, not only because it's [...]

My Nine-Year-Old Chef

Jerah has always loved cooking, and since I've been doing it so much this month with our "3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days" adventure, she decided she'd join in on the fun. So yesterday while I was teaching piano lessons, unbeknownst to me, she found a children's cookbook we own that she'd looked through before, [...]

3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days: Our Day 5 Meals

This morning I made 24 slices of French toast, so the kids ate a couple pieces each of that, as well as some grapes and bananas. (See, they do eat fruit…sometimes.) The leftover French toast is now in the fridge and will likely be used for some Yo-Yo meals over the next couple days. For [...]

Wet Burritos

Since I went grocery shopping for a few hours in the middle of the day and then taught lessons from 4-5:45 tonight, I didn't think I'd be able to make dinner and have it on the table to eat by six. So Jeff offered to cook dinner. And of course I accepted his offer. So I [...]

Day 1, Breakfast

I made biscuits from scratch this morning using Jenny's wonderful recipe. I had hoped to be able to make two batches so I could freeze one, but we had only a tiny bit of milk left in the fridge so I was able to make only one. Of course, after the fact, I realized that [...]

WFMW: My Recipe Binder

I own dozens of cookbooks. But they're rarely used. It's just so inconvenient to have to search through all of them every time I want to find a recipe (and yes, I realize that's a really lame excuse). But now that I've been working on planning meals and baking from scratch, I've started collecting all [...]

Menu and Chore List…COMPLETE!

I did it! As promised, I actually sat down and came up with both a chore list and a menu for the rest of the week. In making up the chore list, I listed all the chores I could think of around the house, divided them up by both frequency and who would be completing [...]
