cozy casseroles and happy endings
Who doesn’t love a warm hearty casserole? It’s like a hug from grandma after a rough day…. Casseroles are up there on my favorite comfort food lists. Right next to tacos and sushi.

summertime…..traveling chicken pot pies
Summertime… and this summer, well… it’s different. I haven’t been all over the internet like previous summers, planning an epic-super-mom-of-the-year–crafty-life-pinterest-worthy- summer-bucket-list. I’m not sure why. Maybe because keeping a toddler, 10 year old  and a baby entertained when it’s 92F outside can be as daunting as crossing the Sahara. Or, maybe it’s because…

grilled lemon thyme kabobs
Kabobs are the ultimate in traveling meals. You have your veggies and protein all in one convenient skewer, and you can eat it with one hand. I guess the only danger involved is that stick. Kabobs should have a warning label: Not intended for children under the age of 5. Because those sticks…
tandoori chicken
Tandoori chicken, I say is the equivalent to jerk chicken but with different spices. OK, so that kind defeats saying “equivalent”, huh? Yeah, I know… OK! About this concoction of spices: I have a recipe for true tandoori chicken, where you take the whole spices and roast them and grind them down, but-…
