While I like to say Wednesdays in our Menu Planning is Wild as in anything goes, that would not be completely accurate. It’s not like on Wednesdays I wake up and say “let’s go to the market and see what falls into the cart for tonight’s dinner.” The fact that I plan out the entire week tells you even on Wild Card Wednesdays there’s a plan.

Do You Do It?
Guess lots of folks that don’t venture out for Black Friday or want even more bargains are all surfing the net for amazing on-line deals. Awesome, I guess. Personally I avoid the internet on Cyber Monday as I don’t care much for traffic jams.

Several lifetimes ago, I was a single mom working my way through school. It’s amazing how creative you can get when it comes to stretching the food budges.
Continue reading “Oh My Goodness”And It Didn’t Come from a Box
Each Friday I put the final touches on our Meal Menu for the following week. Once the shopping list is printed, Hubby goes through the pantries, refrigerators and freezers, crossing off what he finds from the list to avoid any unnecessary purchases.

Today is National Junk Food Day. Now in order for me to share this post today, the food was actually prepared a while back just for this very share. To me, junk food is anything that resembles a TV Dinner. It’s an age thing, I guess. While TV Dinners were all the rage back in the day, we ate real meals. And we did so at the table, not in front of the TV.

On the 7th of July the world celebrates Macaroni Day. Okay, maybe not the entire world or even the whole of America. Regardless, today is National Macaroni Day.

It’s National Ketchup Day. Do you have a ketchup eater in your house? Hubby will put ketchup on just about anything. Kiddo puts ketchup on scrambled eggs. Yeah. I rarely use ketchup unless it’s a base for a sauce.
Continue reading “Pass the Bottle, Please”A Mid-Week Family Supper
Growing up there were certain things we could count on at suppertime. More often than not, Sunday Supper was either fried or oven roasted chicken. Sundays were rarely a day spent with just the American definition of immediate family. I grew up in a house that didn’t know the meaning of the word.

Have I mentioned that my guys are big burger fans? Saying that a guy likes burgers is redundant, isn’t it? Sure, girls like a good burger too. But guys could live of pizza, burgers and brew. The fairer sex needs more, much much more.

Today is National Covered in Chocolate Day. Like we don’t have enough sweet temptations already during this time of the year? If I know Hubby, he’ll be making his amazing Chocolate Covered Cashews again this year.
Continue reading “A Mid-December’s Mellow Monday”If It’s Monday . . .
It must be a Mellow Day. Mondays at home need to be mellow for two very good reasons. First off, weekends are usually busy. There are the household chores, and the fun stuff sandwiched in-between. Monday is the first work day, so that’s always a bummer.

They say that opposites attract. This must be true. Hubby and I love each other to the moon and back, and we knew that the first moment we met. Yet in many ways we are opposites.

So often when we share our posts, we pick the best pictures and camouflage our mistakes. If that’s not possible, then we’ll try the recipe again on another day, fixing the mistakes of the first attempt, while often creating new mistakes.

I grew up in a bygone time. Many of our mothers didn’t have jobs outside the home, at least not the kinds that paid. They helped in the classrooms, ran the after school programs, kept the Little League on track, while the men did “manly things” like coach and empire.

Do you know how to tell if you are old? Your childhood toys can be found in Antique Shops and the things you remember fondly are suddenly “Retro”. Man, that’s old!
