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…
A Field Trip to the Denver Zoo
A Field Trip to the Denver Zoo Thanks to Groupon we were able to spend 5 wonderful hours at the Zoo. We went in late November. It was chilly that morning but I checked the weather and it promised to be warm. It ended up being about 57 degrees, for a Coloradan(oan?) that is practically Summer, lol. When we arrived we were all bundled up and the skies were gray, it was 9:45. By the time we left, we were hot, without coats and the skies were blue. I love Autumn in Colorado, bright blue skies, brisk fresh air. There were not many people there, so we took our time,…

Merry Christmas
Here we are once again! Waking up today to a white Christmas, all the kids are still cozy in bed and I am getting ready for a wonderfully joyous day. After the boys open presents and see what is in their stockings we will have breakfast at my Mom’s. A family tradition, where we will have cream of wheat, toast and bacon. This has been my Christmas breakfast as long as I can remember, I love this warm breakfast. It is nostalgic for me. After that we will head to my Sister in Laws house to share present and enjoy delicious food prepared by her Swedish Chef husband. The boys…
Cookie Exchange 2011
Tis the season for get togethers in all shapes and forms. Last weekend I had a relaxing, fun time with my Mom, Sister, Aunts and Cousins, Sister in Law and her Mom and Daughter too. What a nice time we had, it was our annual Christmas Cookie Exchange. We each made a 6 dozen cookies and other goodies to share, see my recent article at Social Moms on how to host a Cookie Exchange. My cousin made enchiladas while my Mom whipped up chips, delicious salsa, and the best guacamole. We had conversation, yummy food and door prizes! I won a really nice apron, I was so happy – I…
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)…
