I’ve made homemade guacamole for a while but I never use the same recipe. Most of the time the kids don’t eat it because they don’t like something about it – usually the onions, or perhaps the texture. However the other week, I actually just made up my own recipe and both kids devoured it! […]

I’m somewhat cheating today. This is such an easy recipe that’s a no-brainer pretty much but our kids loved it. Plus, this week has been a bit busy and it saved me from having to cook a meal that took more than a few minutes to prepare. It’s simple, but that’s the prize for recipes like […]

I have made a decision. That decision is that I will not even look at another cookbook until I have tried everything that I can out of the cookbooks I already have. I really enjoy cookbooks, and one of my favorite things to do is to take a gander through them and find yummy recipes. […]

I’ll be sharing a recipe that our family really enjoys. I found this when I was on the MSPI diet after having Iain – the MSPI Mama website was my lifeline as I started adjusting our meal plans to accommodate Iain’s digestive issues.  Paul’s been asking for them lately so I will be making them […]

This is a recipe from our eMeals menu last week. It was delicious, except Claire apparently doesn’t like onions so we scraped them off of hers. Ingredients: 1 stick butter 2 tbsp prepared mustard 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 1/2 c. sweet onion, finely diced 6 large subs OR 24 small rolls 1 lb deli ham, […]

Ruth made this for the care group Sunday night and it was absolutely fabulous, I immediately asked her for the recipe.  The secret weapon is the pumpkin, you can’t taste it but it’s part of the base, I really had no idea it was there so this is a good way to sneak in some […]

Paul was skeptical of this soup recipe until he tried. I was excited to make it because we love lentils and it’s also got veggies and cheese, it just looks hearty and delicious.  He tried it and he really liked it, plus both kids ate it up as well.  This is a new favorite of […]

This makes 2 – 8×8 casseroles, it’s perfect for eating one today and freezing another for a later time. Ingredients: 1lb cottage cheese 2 eggs, beaten 3 oz + 1-1/2 c. Parmesan cheese 1/2 c. onion, chopped 28 oz tomato sauce 1 lb ziti 8 oz mozzarella 1 lb Italian sausage/ground beef 5 garlic cloves, […]

I made this last night for the first time and it was truly fabulous, I found it in my Better Homes and Gardens magazine from last month.  Think of it like a healthy version of Mac ‘n Cheese, it’s packed with vitamin A since the squash replaces some of the cheese.  I’d been trying to […]
