Menu Plan Monday – October 1, 2007

October?! I think time literally keeps speeding up. I suppose I better make sure we have the kids’ Halloween costumes planned.
And just for fun, here is another food quote. It will probably make you chuckle and think, all at the same time.
We are living in a world today where lemonade is made [...]

Poppy Seed Salad Dressing

There is a reason why my dad likes calling me a rabbit, I love vegetables and I especially love delicious green salads. One of my favorite combinations consists of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, candied walnuts, craisins, corn, feta cheese and homemade poppy seed salad dressing. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. [...]

Getting Rid of The “H” Word

I am sure you know exactly which “H” word I am talking about.
No … not that “H” word. I am referring to the one we use way too often when we are a parent, “H-U-R-R-Y.”
“Hurry and grab your coat so we won’t be late.” “Hurry and finish your cereal so you can get dressed.” [...]

Commonly Misspelled Words

One of the very nicest things about life is the way we must regularly stop whatever it is we are [...]

Abysmal …

That about sums up my latest attempt at going to bed on time. But I am not giving up, I am not a quitter.
I am determined to start getting more sleep so I don’t wake up and want to continuously hit the snooze button. Waking up already sleepy just seems to make me grumpy [...]

How To Successfully Manage the Holiday Season

Jacket weather has arrived. Pull out the rain boots and bring on the simmering cups of hot cocoa laced with caramel and hazelnut and topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Give me a good book, some quiet time and a blanket to cover up with and I will be in heaven … [...]

Menu Plan Monday – Sept. 17, 2007

Fall’s crisp weather is definitely starting to arrive. Even some of the leaves on the trees lining our street are already beginning to change color. And while I type, rain is gently falling.
