Debbie Meyer Green Bags REALLY WORK
First of all, I admit I am slow and skeptical most of the time. I am not the type of person some would call an early adopter. I tend to watch everyone else buy up the latest fads, electronic devices, gadgets and hottest fashion apparel. I patiently wait and watch to see [...]

Grilled Pizza ROCKS
I am ALMOST at a lose for words to describe the awesomeness of grilling pizza.
First, let me just give credit where credit is due. My friend Bryce from Chilefire.com gave me a cookbook that has changed the way I will eat pizza for the rest of my days… Grilled Pizzas and Piadinas. Bryce [...]
Fresh Food from Jarvis Farm
Jarvis Farm is a beautiful place to take the whole family for a day or weekend of fun.
The kids and I went there in the first week of their Pick Your Own thornless blackberry harvest. We all had such a blast and we took home memories to last us a lifetime.
The farm is owned [...]
Italian Marinade Blend
This blend of spices makes the best grilled chicken you’ve ever eaten!
This recipe was born from not having a bottle of Italian salad dressing on hand. I was looking for a quick marinade for my chicken fillets and was clean out!
I served it to my friends and the kiddos and EVERYONE grooved on the [...]
Vegetable Medley
Ok, I know I’ve already done a recipe with chick peas this week. But come ON! Who eats something different every night of the week? that lives on a reasonable budget? that hates to throw out good food?
I’m calling this recipe “vegetable medley”, because it’s better than “leftover vegetables from the frig that [...]
Pineapple and Pork Stir Fry
This dinner is so quick to cook up, I can’t believe I don’t make it more often.
Naturally, my kids go for the pork, pineapple and rice and completely steer clear of the onions, mushrooms and red bell pepper. Oh well, it’s all good to the grown ups and everyone is happy to have something [...]
Fresh Fruits are Just More Fun
I couldn’t resist picking up a bag of cherries at the grocer the other day. It’s been so long since I’ve eaten them and it was time my kids discovered their sweet flavor. While I was at it, I picked up a big bag of seedless black grapes.
When I got home, I washed [...]
Chick Peas and Vegetables
You want healthy? THIS vegetable plate is HEALTHY!
My husband and I are not vegetarians but we love our vegetables. We have our moments when we’re completely burned out on eating meat and just want fruits and vegetables to eat.
Do you get that way, too?
HERE’S ALL IT TAKES TO GET THIS DINNER [...]
Fresh Snapped Green Beans
Y’all know about my good neighbors, Randy and May? They bring us fresh vegetables from their garden from time to time. And this week, they shared these fresh green beans.
I had to ask May how to cook them. I had no idea how long it would take to get them tender.
She said, [...]
Starting the Day Off Right
Can you see Santa Claus in my breakfast?
I got to playing with my breakfast the other day and couldn’t resist sharing this with you.
What’s your favorite hot breakfast?

Black Bean Snack Bites
Black bean nachos are served regularly round my house. Well, the other day, I didn’t have my normal flat, restaurant style chips and I had to use scoops. The kids loved the variety (they thought I’d made something new).
I kept them simple for Max and Mag, but topped mine with chopped chicken, sliced [...]
