What to do with Leftover Raw Vegetables

Well, I guess I won’t be cooking for a Super Bowl party after all. Now that the Green Bay Packers blew their chance to compete for the title of best team in the NFL not only am I left with a bitter taste in my mouth, I have a ton of leftover raw vegetables to boot.

Three-Cheese Cheese Puffs and Cranberry Cracker Spread

Potlucks provide the perfect opportunity to try foods you wouldn’t ordinarily make for your own family. And if you have children a potluck is the perfect place for you to discover new ways to incorporate your kids’ favorite ingredients into daily dishes.

In an earlier article, Scrapbooking School Layouts, I shared with you a layout I did, when I just happened to be at my daughter’s school one day, that they had indoor recess. I was extremely happy I had my camera with me, and was able to capture the fun and games the kids … Continue reading →

Make your own TV Dinners

There is something kids love about eating their dinner in trays. Every time we go to the grocery store, they ask for TV Dinners. Most of our meals are homemade so a TV dinner is a treat. I remember eating TV dinners for lunch with my mother when I was a little girl. She always cooked all of our meals herself so I know what kind of treat it was to get a TV dinner every once in a while. Back then, they were in aluminum trays. If mom was too busy cleaning house, she would heat up a TV … Continue reading →
