I met up with a friend of mine for lunch last week. That night, she was going to have Swedish meatballs for a birthday dinner with her extended family. In my family, Swedish meatballs get served once a year at Christmas Eve; it’s a tradition! Since it’s one of my favorite meals, I’m not sure … Continue reading

Chicken and Trader Joe’s Japanese Style Fried Rice
My husband asked me if I wanted to go get pizza for dinner tonight? I totally wanted to; it has been a long day, I’m tired, I need to go grocery shopping (there’s not a fresh veggie or fruit to be found in the house), there’s tons to do tonight, and I have to get … Continue reading

We didn’t buy sugary cereals (very often) but we went through quite a bit of “good” cereals like Kashi, Crispix, Corn Chex, etc. Since our household rushes … Continue reading

Mini fruit kabobs with balsamic vinegar reduction
I was supposed to bring an appetizer and veggie tray for Christmas. “No problem!” I thought. I’d recently found a recipe I was super excited about making. Well, work, errands, naptime, and kids meant I didn’t have the time to make the planned recipe. I had to find something in my kitchen that would be … Continue reading
Hamburger topped with an egg
You probably feel like all my posts are about chicken. I’ll admit, that’s my go-to meat. To force myself into a bit of variety, I purposely buy other meats and I make myself use them before I restock the freezer with chicken. Tonight, I had a pound of organic grass fed beef from Trader Joe’s … Continue reading
Open-faced California sandwich
I was trying to think of a name for this nummy sandwich. For some reason, if it has avocado on it, I think it needs California in the name. So, I bring you the open-faced California sandwich! A similar sandwich from The Good Earth inspired me to try a more basic version at home. I served it … Continue reading
