Green meal: Food for St Patrick’s Day

Since St. Patrick’s Day is on Sunday this year we celebrated with our green meal a little early.  Our tradition is to have a green fun food for the kids for lunch and then a bigger family meal for supper with Daddy, but this year not much has been usual!

For our green lunch, I . . . → Read More: Green meal: Food for St Patrick’s Day

Kid’s Progressive Dinner

I had been wanting to do a progressive dinner with the kids for some time.  When we got Halloween coupons for McDonalds recently It seemed like the perfect opportunity!  They had four coupons each-a free hamburger, drink, apples and ice-cream, but they could only use one coupon per visit.  This is one advantage to . . . → Read More: Kid’s Progressive Dinner

Family Game Night #MealsTogether #CBias

Since our fifth child Bobby was born we have had a tough time getting our game nights in like we used to.  We’ve been missing them, so I decided to bring family game nights back with a party!  We went to Sam’s Club in search of our party food.

Mexican Themed Family Meal 2011

It is my tradition to have a Mexican Meal for my family on cinco de mayo.  My plans last year were sabotaged, but I promised my family that we would still have our Mexican meal on a different day.  But with pregnancy, summer fun, and travels it just never got done.  My kids didn’t let . . . → Read More: Mexican Themed Family Meal 2011

Our July 4th Patriotic Dinner Menu

I made this meal for the 4th of July, but it would be great for Memorial Day or Labor Day as well.  I have so much fun with family dinners.  Some are easy, others I try my hand at gourmet, but they are always festive and the look on the kids’ faces when . . . → Read More: Our July 4th Patriotic Dinner Menu

Our Traditional Easter Menu

When I was young our tradition on Easter was to get up before the rooster crowed and head to church with all of our best potluck brunch items kept warm in crockpots.  We would have a sunrise service, literally in the dark as the sun arose.  Then we enjoyed a huge brunch with our church . . . → Read More: Our Traditional Easter Menu

Our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration 2011

This year I made a festive breakfast, lunch, and supper.  I really enjoy celebrating (or have you noticed?) and cooking when I have the time.

The night before I still had not thought of what to do for breakfast.  I tossed around the idea of making green eggs and ham, but finally decided on making . . . → Read More: Our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration 2011

St. Patrick’s Day Brunch Idea

Our celebration isn’t the same every year.  The day of the week it falls on and what ever else I have going on determines how we celebrate.  This particular year we had friends staying with us from out of town.  I didn’t want to be cooking all day so I went with a brunch.
