Thanks to everyone who commented on my Dinner Dilemma post last week!It was so amazing to read your comments. There were so many great ideas and suggestions that I thought it might be helpful to compile them here. I mean, I can't be the only mom who struggles with this, right? And, while I'm on the subject of "Keeping it Real", I didn't implement the Dinner Nanny menu last week. Jeff … [Read more...]

Do you have a recipe that you make over and over again? One that your family can't get enough of? Or one that takes you back to your childhood?? Mine is called Cay's Firehouse Special -- I love to make it because it's delicious, quirky and takes me back to carefree, summer nights in Michigan. Tiffany @ Simply Modern Mom has a really cool challenge going on right now. She is trying to … [Read more...]
Growing up in Michigan, one of my favorite childhood memories is going for long drives as a family to see the Fall leaves. We would drive into the Amish Country and stop at a huge barn where we would buy hot steaming sugared doughnuts and fresh hot apple cider. Those hot doughnuts were so heavenly. And for some reason sugared donuts always remind me of those wonderful Fall excursions. So to … [Read more...]
I don't love to cook. I think the main reason is that I don't know what to cook . I am terrible at planning out our meals, therefore when I want to make something I don't have the right ingredients to do it. What I need is inspiration. And that's where these guys come in handy: I love cooking magazines and cooking shows. One of my favorite magazines is Everyday with Rachel Ray. … [Read more...]
The movie Julie & Julia has really blessed my life -- I know it sounds weird. But my son saw it with some of his friends and it has inspired him to want to learn to cook. And the time we spend pouring over Julia's cookbook, preparing what we are going to make and then actually cooking it has become such a special time for the two of us. This week we made suprêmes de volaille a la Milanaise … [Read more...]
Look what came this week! My first recipe out of the book was Julia's crepes. I made them for our Back to School dinner. They were so delicious -- and easy! I had a few people who asked for the recipes for the savory chicken crepes and the berry crepes. So here you go!First make the crepes. I doubled the recipe and it literally made over 50 crepes. Just so you know. Also, you need to let the crepe … [Read more...]
The night before school starts we have a few traditions to get ready for another year of learning. One of these is a big family dinner. We like to talk about school goals for the year, chores, other responsibilities for the kids and also have a good time being together. This year we had a crepe party. We made crepes, lots and lots of crepes. (I think I went a little overboard - I doubled the … [Read more...]
You know my goal of getting healthier and toning up with the Extreme Makeover-Me Edition group? Well, I'm trying to get back on track after derailing over Easter break. For dinner last night I made a tasty, low-fat version of Chicken Alfredo. And since I had some leftover raw asparagus, I threw those in too. It was easy and good. ********* Low-fat Chicken & Asparagus Alfredo … [Read more...]
It's Spring break for my kids. We aren't going anywhere -- instead we're hanging out at home with a huge stack of movies from Blockbuster. So tonight I'm making a special movie night treat: S'more bars. I got this recipe from one of my cute neighbors Lynette. She is the most stylish girl, the cutest mom and really fun friend. Thanks Lynette! Movie Time S'more Bars 3/4 c. light corn syrup3 tbsp. … [Read more...]
