I’m getting worse at this blogging thing, I fear. I spend less and less time on this, as I have more time for family, friends in the Des Moines area, and house projects like its my job.

Spicy Tuna w/ Pita
Ok, this is a ‘Take it Easy Tonight, Mommy’ dinner. Those are my favorite meals. It is also a, ‘What do I have in the pantry, fridge and freezer meal?’ I took plain old tuna and dressed it up with some spices and citrus, added some shredded carrot, and put it in a pita pocketContinue reading “Spicy Tuna w/ Pita”
Orange Beef(or less) Stir-fry
This meal is so bright, so delicious, so easy, so filling, and so not a meat dish. I used the Gardein Beefless tips for this normally beefy stir fry.

We went out to dinner this weekend to Mellow Mushroom in downtownContinue reading “Balsamic Acorn Squash”
Garlic Rosemary Potatoes
These beautiful autumn days make me want to bake and cook the comfort foods. One combination our household can never get enough of is garlic + rosemary + potatoes. With the long growing season in North Carolina I am still harvesting green beans (okra, tomatoes, and peppers, too), so this dish was half homeContinue reading “Garlic Rosemary Potatoes”
French Toast Waffle Sandwiches
French Toast Waffle Sandwiches are this households’ favorite brinner food – they are easy, filling, and fun to make. The best part is that each person can tailor this meal to his or her flavors.
