I promised folks over on my Facebook page to have this post up yesterday, which obviously did not happen, and for that I apologize. Darn three kids, two dogs, and one husband, always getting in the way of me and my timely blog posts. What’s a girl to do….
Jaden's Frittata Creation!
The kids are on spring break this week and it’s been nice to avoid the usual hectic morning rush and sleep in a little bit! This morning, after John left for work, it was only Jaden and I who were awake so he created this frittata to share with his brothers and with all of …

Southwestern Frittata

As a general rule, our family does not eat out during the week. Establishing this family “rule” has helped in many ways. We save money, we spend more time together at the table than time at a busy restaurant waiting for a table, and we eat healthier. On the weekends we will sometimes eat out …

Chicken Jicama Slaw
Anything “slaw” is right up my alley and this salad was slaw-de-licious. I was inspired to make this salad by a recipe sent to me by Michele L. who you might remember from this previous post.
