Let’s Eat
I was not born with nutritional knowledge or culinary talent. If I can make a recipe, you can make it. If it’s delicious, I’m going to share it here. While we are at it, I have a few nutritionist friends that are going to hook us up with some know-how on meal planning, budgeting, and eating to support our goals.
Spinach Salad & Beef Kabobs
During this year's MOPS, my table (Curie!!) won the intra-table competition. We were rewarded with a catered meal, and eight (you read that right - EIGHT!) take home meals for our freezers! They were all delicious. This week, due to the fact that I did NOT post a recipe [...]
BBQ Turkey Pizza
Last week, I posted about using a turkey for a full week of meals. One of the meals that I suggested was bbq turkey pizza. Here's how I made it. I got a two pack of Boboli pizza crusts, 1 bottle of KC Masterpiece, 2 cups of four finely [...]
BBQ Swordfish
I don't think recipes necessarily need to be hard to make. I also don't think that they necessarily require lots of ingredients or time. For instance, my wonderful husband made my favorite food for me last night. Swordfish! All he did was put it on the barbecue grill for 10 minutes [...]
Turkey Sauce for Spaghetti
Here is an easy twist on an old favorite. Everyone has had meat sauce: browned hamburger with red spaghetti sauce. Instead, tonight I switched it up and made it with turkey! I defrosted a pound of turkey cutlets and then cooked them in the George Foreman (went a lot [...]
Fiesta Chicken
This recipe was given to us as a take-away at a recent MOPS meeting I attended. We assembled the ingredients into gallon sized Ziplock bags (ingredients in one and the chicken in another), and took them home. We made another one too, but I haven't cooked it yet. I [...]
Three Meals at Once
NOTE: At the bottom, I included a cost breakdown. Total cost for all three meals? $28.34 before any coupons or sales! Each will serve a family of four with leftovers. Combined cook time: 1 hour 15 minutes! I am not a foodie. I am not a cook. By the [...]

Part of our Ginger Neighborhood As discussed in our last Stealing a Tradition post, this year we are beginning to establish the traditions of OUR household. We are blending those of my family of origin and Hubby's family of origin, and stealing a few goodies from others, [...]
Challah Bread French Toast
I have never been a big lover of French Toast. This recipe, however, is one of my favorite breakfasts. Stolen from my favorite neighbors, this one is always a hit. What You Need: 1 loaf of Challah Bread (Jewish Egg Bred) 16 oz of Coffeemate Creamer in Liquid Form. [...]
Silly Suppers
During our last deployment at our last base, I was the new mom of a 2.5 month old. I was selling my house in preparation for a cross-country move, and it was the holiday season. In the military, lots of us call deployments like this one "Operation Deny Holiday". [...]
