I returned home from Blogher (not a vacation) absolutely exhausted from a rough Red Eye ride. White knuckles, hyper-anxiety rough ride. So. I barely slept. And I returned home to an almost-6-year-old with an upset stomach. So, I have amazing friends and Whitney offered to run my grocery order for me. Isn't she fabulous? Tonight, because I was everything but creative, we had a Rotisserie Chicken, green peppers dipped in tzatziki and applesauce. That's like, the ultimate healthy meal when one is … [Read more...]

Menu Plan
This week, I'll be posting mostly recipes. There may be a post or two interspersed about going back to school, or the heat, or Blogher... or whatever, but definitely plan to read lots and lots of recipes. It's cooking week! I was asked by The Motherhood to join a team of Philadelphia-area bloggers to create a holiday meal using Lawry's spices and seasonings. The majority of these recipes are part of that project, so you'll notice that a lot of the recipes use the seasonings. It was so fun to … [Read more...]

Menu Plan and call for favorite summer recipes
The last 6 weeks were amazing, in the cooking and meal planning realm for me. I shared about 25 of bloggers' favorite meals, offering 5-weeks of favorites. For over a month, that post has been my most-often visited. Plus, I got to try, create, and tweak some awesome dinners for my family. Today I'm asking for submissions for Favorite Summer Recipes from blogs. You don't have to be a blogger to submit, though that rocks if you are one. So search through your files, your cookbooks, your blogs and … [Read more...]

I simply cannot believe five weeks went by so quickly! How absolutely fun to try so many favorites from other bloggers--and they were so good. I finally made Andrea's Chicken Pile-Up. Then, a few days later, I tweaked it and created a new spin on Chicken Tortilla Soup, one of my absolute favorite meals. I'll share that recipe soon. So, week 5 of 5 weeks of bloggers favorite meals. I'll call for more favorites next Monday, so start hunting down your favorites! Monday: Another from Stephanie, … [Read more...]
Week 4 of 5 weeks of bloggers' favorite meals
Camp starts this week, so I'm singing and celebrating. I was worried that this week's meal plan would be hard to keep up with all the changes and places to be. But as I look at my calendar, I realized what I probably should have realized before: scheduling works for me. With a set schedule for every day, we should be able to eat on time and at home. Let's hope. This week is week 4 of 5 weeks of bloggers' favorite dinners. I'll be calling for another set of favorites in a week or two, so keep … [Read more...]

Menu Plan, Week 3 of 5 weeks of bloggers' favorites
Little secret, I was out of town last week! And while I planned to make a meal or two from the menu plan schedule, well... I barely cooked. Truly. A vacation. I did have time to make Andrea's Texican Chicken, finally, and Blissfully Domestic's BBQed ribs and Spaghetti Squash. The kids were a little overwhelmed with the barbeque ribs. They were messy and something too new and different, perhaps, when it came to eating off the bone and the texture. But my husband was delighted. I'd never made … [Read more...]
