Green Chile “Smothered” Burritos
This is a meal that has always been a tradition in our house when I was growing up. Here in Colorado we eat a kind of green chile that you don’t find in many other parts of the country. It is a pork green chile and it comes from “New Mexican” food. My Mothers family is from Southern Colorado and before that from Northern New Mexico and Spain prior to that. This type of cuisine is a hybrid of deliciousness. The base for most of the foods are green chiles, like Hatch, Anaheim and Pueblos. I prefer Pueblos, then Hatch, then Anaheim. In Colorado you will find Chile Roasters on…
Fun with Kitchen Science
Being a homeschooling Mom I am always on the look out for fun, hands on projects to do with my boys. They are in 2nd Grade, Kindergarten and Preschool they especially love science projects. They love to experiment. My kindergartner and 2nd Grader keep science journals. They keep track of supplies used, what they think will happen and then they record what actually happens. These are usually accompanied with pictures, it is a perfect way to track their learning adventures. I have found some Homeschool websites that offer great suggestions on fun experiments. One website that I recently discovered is from Clorox. It is called Clorox Recipes for Fun, it…
Cheesy Lasagna
Lasagna, yum! Who could argue that? Now, I don’t have it very often, maybe once every few years . I had never made it. My husband has been asking me to make it since we got married, I decided it was time to try. I do love it, and making it very cheesy and delicious. It is one of those recipes I have felt intimidated to make though. I headed to Allrecipes.com and searched by ingredient. I did this because I wanted to make it with lowfat cottage cheese instead of ricotta. I came across this one, Cheese Lasagna. I modified it a bit… Spaghetti Sauce, Green Chiles, Jalapenos, Cottage…

Feeding Little Ones Healthy Meals with Rice
It’s the age old battle. Kids vs. Parents. Junk vs. Real Food. Food vs. Healthy Food. Growing up, my Mom always made sure we had a complete and healthy meal every single evening. She worked full time and so I imagine this was a challenge for her but she always came through. Now that I am a stay at home Mom I strive to have a healthy meal on the table every night. That is not always the case though. I started working evenings and this has proved to be a big challenge when it comes to feeding my family. For our family, it is quality over quantity. We try…
Melted Snowman Cookies
I must say that Pinterest has inspired me to do many things I could never think of. For instance, this time around, I came across these adorable Christmas cookies – Melted Snowmen, so cute! It was posted on the Crazy Domestic blog, hers turned out really good! She credits another blogger for the inspiration: “To see the originalMelted Snowman Cookie, and meet the inventor herself, go check out Meaghan (great name) @ The Decorated Cookie!” Thank you Ladies! I wanted to try making the melted snowman cookies for our 2nd grade class. Mine certainly did not come out as cute, but 2nd graders are forgiving! They gobbled em’ up and loved them. I…
Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders
*speechless* these are amazing sandwiches! simply tasty and amazing! Honestly, I have never really been a huge fan of ham. I don’t mind it but I never before did I used to buy it or order it. This past summer we were invited to dinner with some of our wonderful friends. The hostess made the most heavenly delicious ham and cheese sandwiches ever! They were hot ham and swiss (I have never liked swiss either) these were amazing. I asked for recipe recently. She said she obtained this super secret recipe from a cousin who caters. She was only given the recipe if she promised not to give it out.…
Golden Cloverleaf Dinner Rolls
Bread. Glorious bread. I love any type of good fresh bread and I think you’ll love these cloverleaf rolls. I always prefer to make and bake from scratch but I do not do it as often as I would like. My Mom hosted Thanksgiving festivities this year and asked me to make rolls. I was a bit scared because the particular kind she had in mind takes hours to shape. I ran to my favorite recipe resource, Allrecipes.com. I found a highly rated “Golden Dinner Rolls”, as I read the reviews some people suggested Cloverleaf style. I was excited to try because it sounded so simple. Ingredients 2 (.25 ounce)…
