Menu Plan Monday and new blog header!

Check out the header graphic I made in Photoshop and Photobucket-do you like it? I’m not sure I’m keeping it, I won a $40 credit towards a design in the Ultimate Blog Party, so I will probably have them do something more cooking related. But it’s fun to look at!

And now, it’s time to [...]

Menu Plan Monday-3/3/08

This week’s meal plan is inspired in part by the shipment of pasta I got for a product review. I’ve got two boxes of Ronzoni Whole Wheat Rotini, one box of Ronzoni Smart Taste Rotini, two boxes of Smart Taste Spaghetti, and one box of Whole Wheat Spaghetti. The best part? I’m giving away [...]

Meal Plan, Jan 09-Jan 12

I’m sticking to my New Year’s resolution and making all of our meals from scratch through Saturday, with the exception of Friday night’s frozen pizza. Eventually I will tackle homemade pizza, just not this week. I planned out not just dinner, but also breakfast, lunch, and after-school snacks for the kids, because that way I [...]

How to host Thanksgiving Dinner

My stats tell me that I’m getting more hits from people searching for combinations of the words “Jell-O”, “Thanksgiving”, and a variation on the sentence “how to host 16 or more people for Thanksgiving” than anything else. I am in no way, shape or form any kind of expert on this, but I’ll do my [...]

Menu Monday

My husband is gone for two weeks on business. Which means I have a chance to do something I don’t get to do very often-cook all the foods that the boys and I like that he doesn’t! See, my husband is kind of a picky eater, so I seldom make things for dinner that I [...]

Get a discount on emeals for you

I was so happy when Dennis from eMealsforyou.com emailed me asking if I would be interested in checking out his site, because despite owning hundreds of recipes, cookbooks, cooking magazines, not to mention the entire Internet with the millions of recipes there, I can still never think of what to make for dinner! emealsforyou.com takes [...]
