Zuppa Toscana- Olive Garden Copy Cat Recipe
Back in my single and carefree days when I didn't have to worry about toddler naps and an always prepared diaper bag, I loved going to Olive Garden. I would order their budget friendly option of the endless supply of all the soup, salad and bread I could eat- plus a server hovering at my elbow to top every part of my meal with freshly grated parmesan cheese? Perfecto! Nowadays restaurant meals out are nice on occasion, but I'd much rather cook up my own favorites at home where I know exactly

Simple Fried Rice
I love leftover white rice when it is a day old and is all hard and crunchy. You think I'm joking, right? Nope! I'm being perfectly honest, no sarcasm this time. Leftover rice is PERFECT for making fried rice. Fried rice is one of my favorite dishes to make to utilize any leftover rice, meats, and sad and somewhat shriveled veggies that were forgotten in the refrigerator. We all have them..... limp celery stalks, onion halves we don't remember when we put them in there, carrots that are

Classic Quiche
My husband used to think that quiche was for chicks and sissy-men. My man also used to tease a guy friend in college who carried a "man purse". Yes, my guy can be rather stereotypical, but I love him and he quickly was eating his words once I began making quiche at home and he realized what a protein packed and portable breakfast it offered. He realized that quiche is for the big tough guys too! When I have it on hand he can grab a quick slice in the morning and pop it in the toaster oven

Turkey Tacos
On a recent trip to Arizona, I was inspired by my sister when I learned that she makes her tacos with ground turkey instead of beef. I tend to give turkey a hard time because although it can be good, it never sounds appetizing to me. Back when we were first newlyweds and neither of us knew how to cook, my husband decided to make a crockpot recipe called "Tastes Like Turkey" that contained among other things, ground beef, peas of some kind, and a whole lot of ground black pepper. Needless to

The Boundaries and Blessings of Motherhood
It was a last minute rush to the grocery store at 5pm with the birthday girl and the toddler, leaving the two other kiddos at home with daddy. I was in my sweatpants, big puffy coat, Ugg (look alike) slippers, and without a smidgen of makeup on, and looking and feeling a bit frazzled. As I attempted to wrestle the huge toddler into his shopping cart covered seat and push his wide feet through the leg openings, my daughter kept asking me to push the hood of her coat up. I heard a clicking

Why I Use Essential Oils
I don’t consider myself a fearful person, but with four small children, cold and flu season was miserable and exhausting and I found myself living in fear and dread of the next illness my family would inevitably catch. When I learned about essential oils from a dear friend I was skeptical, but I was desperate and I took the plunge and bought my first bottle of essential oil, the protective blend.
