So if you read my meal plan for this week you know that I made lettuce wraps for dinner on Sunday night. I actually found the recipe through the Whole Foods "app" on Benzo's new iPhone. Neither one of us has had smartphones before so we've been checking out all the new apps. The Whole… Continue reading Noodle-y Lettuce Wraps

Cinnamon Bun Smoothie
I made the most delicious smoothie this morning that I had to share. I actually tried to make this smoothie for the first time one morning last week. I got all the ingredients together in the Magic Bullet cup and screwed on the blade. But when I pressed the blade end down into the Magic Bullet nothing… Continue reading Cinnamon Bun Smoothie

Rigatoni Peperona-ta-ta
Good evening. It's getting a bit late but I wanted to share tonight's dinner. I made Rigatoni Peperonata from the August issue of Real Simple. It. Was. So. Good. It was very easy to pull together.

Cool Beans
The other day on I Eat Trees, Keri wrote that she wanted to start eliminating as much packaged food from her family's diet as possible. If she could make it, she wouldn't buy it. I commented that I would love to do the same thing, but that my issue is time. Right now I just… Continue reading Cool Beans

Cucumber Salad
Wow it is really freakin' hot in Kansas. It's too hot to do anything. I've barely been outside all weekend because the second you open the door the heat hits you like a wall. And with my poison ivy I don't want to get sweaty because it will just irritate my rash. So I've been… Continue reading Cucumber Salad

The front flower bed that we cleaned out and planted back in April had gotten a bit out of control again around the edges. I pulled weed after weed after weed and got covered with… Continue reading Cute Curried Lentils

Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd
Yesterday I woke up to cloudy skies. I was hoping to get outside for some yard work, but I dawdled around the house too long, writing about the best chocolate cake ever. Before I knew it the clouds opened up and dumped rain all over everything. And they continued to do that until the afternoon.… Continue reading Healthy Breakfast for a Crowd

Easy Strawberry Syrup
I actually made this over a week ago, but still wanted to go ahead and share it with the blog world. I woke up one Saturday morning and remembered that we had an entire box of frozen waffles I hadn't even cracked open yet. I really love frozen waffles. Movie Mom used to make frozen… Continue reading Easy Strawberry Syrup

Let's go with the miracle: I FOUND MY RIGHT HAND RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it. If you remember, I lost this ring over three… Continue reading Potato Salad & a MIRACLE

Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
Last Saturday Benzo and I vowed to come straight home after church group and cook dinner instead of going out. We're trying to be good for the next few weeks about not eating out much, since the past few weeks have been an eating-out extravaganza. My original meal plan was to make pizza on Saturday… Continue reading Artichoke & Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta
