Nebraska Football Gameday Meal 2011

Our menu this year is very similar to last year’s. I thought about making something different, but in the end this meal just cries, “Nebraska!” Runzas French Fries (I actually fried them this year!) Corn on the Cob Big Red Cans of Soda Go Big Red Cake On the day of the first televised game… [continue reading]

An Easy Festive Fall Breakfast for Kids

This is something I love to do for holidays.  I may have over done it just a little on the marshmallows this  time, but my kids didn’t complain!   They keep asking for “that special cereal.”   It is simply a bowl of crispy rice cereal topped with marshmallows, Fall colored sugars, and sprinkles.  Now how much… [continue reading]

Spaghetti Disaster

One day about nine years ago I worked very hard to make several batches of spaghetti sauce.  I wanted to make enough to freeze some and was feeling very much like Suzy homemaker. We ate supper and then came the task of putting all the food away.  I found a Tupperware bowl that would be… [continue reading]

Pork Taco Meat Recipe

This is the recipe that I made for our Mexican themed family meal.  Pork is my favorite taco meat.  It is probably the least common in the US, but after growing up on Tacos al Pastor in Mexico, hamburger just doesn’t cut it!  I looked for a recipe and couldn’t find one that wasn’t pulled… [continue reading]

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… [continue reading]

Chips with Cayenne and Key Lime

This is my favorite snack!  Unless you’re from Mexico you probably think I’m strange.  Well, if you’ve read my blog you already know I am, but that’s beside the point. In Mexico street vendors sell homemade chips in little bags with chile and lime on them.  My Texas version isn’t quite the same, but boy… [continue reading]

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 it’s time… [continue reading]

Patriotic Layered Bean Dip

I made this bean dip on July 4th, but I may make it again for Labor Day or even Memorial Day.  My kids loved it and one of them even asked me to please write down the recipe so she can make it some day, so I thought I would share it with you.   I… [continue reading]

Grace’s Fifth Birthday Celebration

Birthdays at our house are pretty low key compared to many.  Still, the kids look forward to the day all year.  They get to pick what I will prepare for their evening meal.  Daddy always brings home a balloon.  They choose what dessert they would like me to make.  Then open a gift from us… [continue reading]

The Girls Threw a Bible Party!

Over the Memorial Day weekend, Faith and Joy worked endlessly all morning writing out verses.  “We’re going to have a Bible Party tonight,” they said.  They kept adding to their plans.  “Can we have party food?”  I told her she was free to make it–and she did!  For those of you that know I’ve been… [continue reading]
