This past week has been crazy!All week I have been getting ready for the semi-annual kids consignment sale that my Moms of Multiples club puts on twice a year. I spent a very large portion of my time getting all of my kids old clothes, toys, and other child paraphernalia together, cleaned, put on hangers and tagged so that it could be sold all in one day. I also have been ...

Make Ahead Whole Wheat Refrigerator Dough
I'm heading out for a nice long Memorial Day weekend. Memorial Day weekend also happens to be our wedding anniversary. Our 6th as a matter of fact. We always try to spend some quality time together for our anniversaries. It's funny how the meaning of "quality time" changes as you progress into a relationship. For example, when we first got together, quality time was all ...
Tasty Tuna Burgers
I have a little confession. I LOVE tuna patties. Love them. I know. It's weird, but I can't help it. I also love cole slaw and I have been a bit of a cole slaw kick lately. So it seemed natural to me to put those two things together on a bun. Oh dear, it was such a good idea. I'm probably going to do it again soon. The best part about this meal is that it is quick and ...
It’s all Greek to Me – Chicken Souvlaki
For some reason, there are several foods that I only really enjoy when made into something. For example; I'm not a big tomato eater, but I love tomato sauce; I hate cabbage, but I could eat sauerkraut everyday; I think raw cucumbers are unappetizing, but I could eat enough tzatziki sauce to make me Greek. I'm weird, what can I say. So, anyway, if there is any culture that is ...
Memphis Memories – Homemade Bar-B-Q, Sauce and Spicy Slaw
I would like to start off this post by letting everyone know that my husband and I are BBQ snobs. The Hubby is from Memphis, born and raised, and I spent the first part of my adult life there and consider it my home ( maybe not born and raised, but I certainly found myself there). If you have ever been to Memphis then you know 2 things; 1 - never leave valuables in your car, ...
For the Vegetarian in all of us – Black Bean Burgers
Okay, I have a confession. I have put on a little weight. About 5 pounds and I'm a little bummed about it. So, it's about that time to eat a little healthy for at least a few weeks. SO I started last night with these black bean burgers I saw in Gourmet magazine. I love that magazine and I'm always excited when I see a recipe in there that I can actually afford to make.These ...
I love a Good Italian – Meatball Sub
A few months ago, I went on a "diet and exercise program". You may have heard of it - Body for Life. To this day, it is the only diet I have ever completed ( not counting the Beer & Cigarette Diet I was on in college). I lost 12 lbs and dropped 2 dress sizes, it is a great diet and I recommend it to anyone. ANYWAY, the big reason I could stay on the program is because the ...
