Online Homeschool Planner and Community

Through a post today on my local homeschool association forum, I was introduced to a great homeschooling site that I had never seen before — Home School, Inc. After I spent a little while looking over the site, I knew I just had to share it with my readers. Home School, Inc. offers a free […]

Super-Yummy Braised Pork Chops

Zesty did it again — another hit recipe! This time it's Braised Pork Chops in Sweet Apple Mustard. Mmmm Mmmm! I also made his Baked Potato Wedges with Thyme on the side, which was another winning dish. What amazes me the most is that each and every Zesty dinner recipe we have made so far […]

Another Great Zesty Cook Meal: Almost Chicken Paella

So far, every single one of Zesty Cook's suggested meals has been a hit with our family, and last night's meal of Almost Chicken Paella was no exception. I will admit that I was not the one who prepared this meal. Instead, I set out the ingredients ahead of time and left the recipe out […]

Menu Plan: Week of March 23

My family is demanding a menu plan for this week that includes some meals that I will actually cook. I didn't cook a single meal last week, and I don't want this week to be a repeat of that. My family really enjoyed it a couple weeks ago when I cooked dinner four times, and […]

Chicken, Basil, and Spinach Quesadillas

Chicken, Basil, and Spinach Quesadillas did not sound good to me but I am so glad I tried them. Tonight I made yet another meal suggested by Cory over at Zesty Cook (and if you're counting, that's 3 out of the 4 planned meals I've made so far this week!). This recipe made use of […]

Horrible Histories: A Funny (and Memorable) Way To Introduce History

I was browsing through the clearance section at Half Price Books a while ago when I happened upon a copy of The Rotten Romans by Terry Deary on sale for $.50. At the time, I had no idea what the Horrible Histories series was about, so I paged through the book a little bit, and […]

Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

Easy breezy ground beef storganoff that was a success with the entire family. Believe it or not, I made dinner again tonight. And in case you're counting, that's two out of the four meals I have planned for the week completed as scheduled! That's practically a record for me! Tonight's meal was (not so low-fat) […]

Chicken, Basil, and Mushroom Fettuccine

Meal for 2 of Chicken, Basil, and Mushroom Fettuccine was accomplished with some terpidation. 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 […]

Menu Plan: Week of March 9

Menu planning should be interesting this week as I am planning new recipes. I haven’t been cooking a lot lately, but this week is going to be different! I have four meals on deck this week, none of which I’ve ever made before. With help from Zesty Cook, I made some basil pesto this afternoon […]
