  • Mom, What’s For Dinner? – Week of May 30, 2016

    I’ve got to admit that last week I didn’t follow my menu because I ended up being exhausted by the end of the day because I was cleaning up my classroom.

  • Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip and Cooking with Students part 2

    I have been so slack about cooking dinner and even menu planning.  In fact, the Imaginative One asked me why I hadn’t planned dinner for the week.  It’s been low on my priorities.  Testing and end of the year school stuff has taken a lot out of me. I have decided I need to create…

  • I’ve decided to share some of my family’s favorite local eats. I’m going to start with two very important foods.  Okay one is a food and the other is a drink.  These are my favorite coffee shops and ice cream shops in the area.  I’ve provided links to all of the places.
