Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Greek Burgers and the Week’s Menu
Here’s a secret…I really don’t like spinach, except sauteed with a bunch of vinegar on it or in a green smoothie where I can’t taste it. Fortunately, my kids love it in pretty much any form: Salads, sauteed, in soups, … Continue reading →
Lemon Pepper Shrimp, Spinach, and Red Peppers with Pasta (& a Menu)
As our move approaches, I’ve begun to think about healthy, fast meals that require few ingredients. We’ll need some of these type meals as we prep for our move, then especially when we get back to Washington. Something I’ve learned … Continue reading →
Teriyaki Turkey Lettuce Wraps and a Menu

PB Banana Honey Grahams and a Menu
This week, I’m mixing it up a little…with the menu we have for breakfast rather than our suppers. I know lots of kids eat cereal every morning and are fine with that, but mine just aren’t. They have cereal on … Continue reading →
Asparagus Spinach Risotto and the Menu for the Week
I’m posting my menu a day early this week because tomorrow’s post will be my 400th post! Can you believe it? Well, that’s what WordPress says, anyway, so I’m going to have a giveaway tomorrow instead of the menu post…so … Continue reading →
Muy Bueno Carnitas and the Menu for the Week
The hooligans have been on Spring Break this week, so I’ve had a little more time to spend in the kitchen on Tuesday and Thursday, without rushing home from Tae Kwan Do. These meals still can be on the table … Continue reading →
Carrot Cake Cupcakes, Cupcake Stabilization, and the Menu for the Week
On Tuesday and Thursdays, the hooligans go to Tae Kwan Do, and we arrive back home right at dinner time. Now that the time has changed, I can push dinner back a bit, but it’s still a time crunch to … Continue reading →
Fish and Chips…and the Week’s Menu
If I haven’t mentioned it before, these menus are actually what we had for dinner the preceding week. I don’t want y’all to plan something for your own families that isn’t perfectly delicious, or that kids won’t eat. I’m determined … Continue reading →
Lego Cupcakes and the Week’s Menu
When I planned this week for the blog, I had a theme in mind…birthdays. I did okay Monday with Nonna’s Blossom Garland, and Tuesday with the purse giftcard holder. And even Wednesday with the St. Pat’s card and beer tag…I … Continue reading →
Chocolate Mint Cookies and the Menu for the Week
Where did the week go? I was thrown off because Monday was a day off from school, and then for some reason, all day Tuesday I kept thinking it was Wednesday. Go figure. Add in the snowstorm that really wasn’t, … Continue reading →
