Comfort Food at its Finest

Tonight's dinner was something I've been excited about all week.  I'm not usually one to toot my own horn and most of my dinners are good, but not anything, like, amazing, but dammit, I can make a good meat ball. A long time ago I had some amazing quality grass fed beef that I got on…

Chicken ‘n Taters

This week seems to be dragging on and on and on...it's gotten progressively better as each day went by, but only a tiny bit each day.  I wanted something yummy but not too heavy for dinner. Tonight's dinner is baked chicken, skillet fried potatoes, and roasted broccoli and zucchini.  I wasn't feeling roasted potatoes again…

Basically the same meal, just reworked…

It's been another on edge night tonight, but thankfully not as bad as last night.  My little one, who I'd been waiting to decide he was done with school, seems to be doing just that now and we've fought with him on homework all night.  Fortunately, this seems to be a good week for the…

Chicken Soup for the Soul

Monday. Amiright? In all fairness, today wasn't a particularly bad day for me.  I was busy and it doesn't seem like I've gotten anything done because I'm pretty sure everyone in my house just thinks food magically appears in our fridge and pantry...but, you know. Dinner was rough tonight.  I made chicken noodle soup, honestly,…

Real Mac and Cheese

I know I said I'd be better about posting and then immediately skipped a day, but in my defense, we didn't eat dinner last night.  We went out to a Monarch release in the morning and got sun burns and heat strokes (I'm kidding about the heat strokes, but seriously, I know it's Texas, but…

I’m a Bad Blogger…

So when I went to post the pictures of tonight's dinner, I found out that I forgot to post dinner for the last two nights! Oops........... Fortunately, I was on top of things enough to take the pictures, I just didn't post them.  So...Here's what we had for dinner this week.  Roasted potatoes with a…

I, thankfully, have an amazing husband and got to go to sleep right after dinner last night while he took care of homework and baths and everything all on his own.  I slept almost twelve hours and woke up feeling a ton better.  Today hasn't been the best for me, but I was able to…

Blood Sausage

I had grand plans for dinner tonight.  I was so excited to try a new recipe that looks so good. And then it hit.  Right around 3:00.  Intense pain, nausea, vertigo, cold sweats, and fatigue.  Yeah, I'm sure you know what it is.  It actually started two days ago while I was in San Antonio, because why not…

Emotional Patty Melt

We took an impromptu trip to San Antonio yesterday to visit my husbands 93 year old grandmother.  We try to make the five hour drive don there at least once a month, but given our trip this summer we hadn't been since May and my husband hadn't been since her birthday in July.  It was…

It’s Friday, We’re Having Pizza

It's been the worst week, but I had an amazing day with an amazing friend.  We made art painting pottery and ate lunch at an incredible tiny little hole in the wall, and above all, we got to be people with one another again.  We've been friends since we were little and we both became mothers early in life.  When…
