My mom always had this delicious dish growing up called Colossal Cheeseburger. I think my mom found the recipe in the newspaper, so it's not mine, nor hers, really, but all that matters is that it's DELICIOUS! We made it for the boys at the children's home when we were houseparents, and it was their absolute favorite meal. While we don't eat it super often around here, the hubby and boys really love it. Eat it with ketchup, mustard, pickles, fries, chips, whatever...it is View Post
When you bought your house, maybe the selling point wasn’t the backyard and garden. Maybe it was the kitchen with the huge island or the fact that is was close to the kids’ school and your office. Or maybe you wanted a house in the city, and what you sacrificed was your yard size. Regardless of how you ended up with a small garden and yard, it can feel discouraging to try and make the most of out it. But it’s not impossible! With some View Post
This post has been sponsored by Albertsons Companies family of stores. All thoughts and opinions are my own. A few weeks ago, I wrote about how excited I was to play the SHOP, PLAY, WIN!® Collect & Win Game featuring MONOPOLY at Tom Thumb. The boys and I went to the store, found a few items that would qualify us to get game pieces, and I opened them up and affixed them after we got home. I also scored with a few coupons and View Post

The Spring weather here in Texas has me craving all the garden fresh fruits and vegetables! Sure, it can still be freezing one day and HOT the next, but it is still pretty awesome. Hubby and I went on the Whole30 diet earlier this year and did well. It definitely taught us some healthy eating habits that we are still holding on to. And who knew that you could create such awesome things with WHOLE foods that have incredible taste? Ditching View Post

I have fond memories of cooking with my mom and also my grandmothers when I was little. This is something moms do naturally because it is fun to cook alongside your child and teach them how to eventually, cook on their own. Having three boys has proven no different. The boys have each loved to help unroll dough, cut out cookies, crack eggs, slather on icing, dump in blueberries, stir the meat, etc. Just like when kids are little and want to View Post
I love quick and easy recipes, and the boys love fruit desserts, so these fruit turnovers are great for everyone! Last year, our youngest son was going to "Alice School" a few hours a week. Mrs. Alice is a dear friend from church who worked with our oldest and middle son while we were homeschooling. She taught them different aspects of reading, math, the Bible, and sometimes incorporated a cooking theme to her lesson. What a gift we had View Post
I am not sure why it always surprises me, but February in Texas is still cold. Well, some days are warm but then it dips down below freezing the very next day and that makes our allergies go nuts. On days when it is cold out or we are not feeling 100%, recipes like this Roast Beef Zoodle Soup are perfect for dinner. I love this recipe because it is quick to prepare, tasty, and jam packed with veggies and broth, which is great for View Post
