I LOVE mushrooms. Raw (with dip), sauteed, on a burger, in a stir fry, or in soup. So years ago, when my mom first made this recipe I was an instant fan. I LOVE mushroom soup – and love even more when I can make a dish from scratch instead of using the ever available convenience options. It’s sooo easy and hardly takes any time at all, which I know is super important in our busy lives. So, here’s what…
This is probably the one and only recipe I will add that I have not personally tried (YET)…the other day I posted on facebook about being able to make homemade mushroom soup for dinner as the weather had cooled down (recipe to come) and a friend of mine mentioned that she had made Chicken Pot Pie Soup for dinner. Sounds amazing, right? A few other friends expressed interest in the recipe and my dear friend (we’ve been friends since we…
My kids LOVE when I make this for lunch or dinner. It’s quick and easy, and although it has a creamy sauce, I like to think it’s still a bit healthy. LOL Mix together: 1 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup sugar 4 tsp vinegar 1/2 tsp dill 1/2 tsp seasoning salt Keep the dressing separate and add it to the cut up cucumbers in a separate bowl. The dressing keeps better if stored separately – otherwise the cucumbers get kinda mushy…
I know what you’re thinking…Corn chips and Kidney Beans? Together? In a Salad? I realize it sounds strange, but I’m telling you people…it’s delicious! I recently had this delicious salad at a potluck dinner and was so bummed there wasn’t enough left for seconds. It was just so yummy. Planning for a potluck dinner while camping this past weekend, and having to work around only having a cooler (as opposed to a fridge..ie, we are tenters), this recipe came in…

California Vacay – {The Way Home – Elko, Nevada Super 8}
Having spent a rather large portion of our holiday IN the vehicle, we felt it best to take our time on the way home. We spent 4 days driving, stayed in 3 hotels, and stopped at a few parks along the way to break it up. We were of course excited to see our husbands (and the kids, their dad’s), but I’m pretty certain we could have holidayed for another 3 weeks. It was really an amazing experience, one that…
Well Concord may not have beaches, but lucky for us, San Francisco is less than an hour away. So for our last day before beginning the trek home, we decided to take in the beach. We ended up right across from the San Francisco Zoo, and although tempted, we avoided making mention of it to the kids. LOL We played on the beach ALL day. You could tell when the work day was over, as the beach suddenly increased in…
I know I’ve said it before – but California seriously has the BEST, MOST AMAZING parks. Parks like nothing I’ve ever seen…spacious so lots of kids can play, and made with such variety that kids of all ages can be safe. While in Concord, and upon discovering there were no beaches there, we happened upon a pretty amazing *little* park that absolutely took my breath away. Even now as I am thinking about it, I am in awe. What’s so…
We have been pretty lucky. Our daughter is nearly 7, and our son nearly 4, and we are just now having to buy them new clothes. Sure, we’ve had to buy them the odd thing over the years, but in truth most of their clothes have been gently loved and generously passed down from people we know. We LOVE it. Not only has it saved us a TON of money, but it has also allowed us to focus our spending…
My kids LOVE to colour and are often BEGGING me to print off new colouring pages. They like the typical cartoon pages but I always like to have something different to add to the mix. I like a little variety – besides, nobody wants to colour the same picture over and over…and over. I was really excited to receive an e-mail from Frecklebox spreading word about their new FREE & PERSONALIZED Colouring pages. I can’t wait to print these off…
