TLC In The Kitchen

Tonight my daughter and her family are coming over for dinner.  I don’t want to spend the whole night cooking.  I want to spend time with my grandsons, so I will use one of my favorite quick fix recipes for dinner.  I am going to pick up some fresh french bread on the way home [...]

It’s a beautiful morning, but the sky is full of clouds.  The weatherman is predicting rain by tonight.  That means it is time for my favorite chicken soup recipe!  This chicken soup recipe is super simple, like most of my recipes.  My chicken soup recipe has lots of vegetables in it, is delicious and is [...]

I love meals when the whole family sits down together.  Dinner in our house is always everyone at the table.  We talk, eat, laugh and just have a great time being together.  I really enjoy it when we have breakfast or brunch together.  No one is tired or grumpy that early in the day and [...]

Last night, as promised in the crock pot post, I made “beef stroganoff” with some of the London broil I cooked on Monday. I know that this is not a traditional beef stroganoff, but it is a quick, easy and tasty everyday version. With the beef already cooked, it only took me 20 minutes to [...]

Organization is the key to my survival.  With a little bit of organization, my days go much smoother.  Yesterday was my first day back to work after a three week holiday break.  I knew I was not going to be on track in any way shape or form.  I decided to get some help from [...]

I got a lot [...]

I have never big on making a New Year’s resolutions, but this year I am. Not just for me, but for my family, too. My resolution is to improve our overall health. I am going to plan and prepare healthy meals that we will all enjoy so we don’t feel like we are on a [...]

On New Year’s Day as the family tradition it is, we watched the Rose Parade. We were sipping coffee and hot chocolate enjoying the parade and along came one of the most beautiful floats of the year – The Rain Bird Corporation’s “Entertaining Expedition!”
This float won the Sweepstakes Award for most beautiful entry and [...]
