Quick and easy meals in a flash:

As a busy home-school momma I try to meal plan and stick to it but of course life happens and inevitably interruptions tend to come and upend even the best laid plans. So, I like to have an arsenal of recipes to pull from in a flash that are not only quick, easy to put together, delicious, healthy and I keep several comfort food type meals in my list too. I will add to this list periodically or when I find an amazing new recipe that I think you all will love and that your kiddos will love too because lets be honest, if our kiddos won't eat it we usually don't end up making it right?!😉

If you have a yummy list of your family faves I'd love for you to share the wealth with the rest of us! I'd love to glean from your baking/cooking insights, tips and tricks and look forward to sharing our recipes together friends 😀

Happy cooking!

Duel Enrollment programs, what are they and how do they work

Hello friends, One of the questions I've received most often over the past year is what is duel enrollment and how does it work. Ever since we decided our daughter would participate in the program we have had many questions from family and friends. Mainly out of intrigue and interest, but I’m sure some curiosity about what the program is and how it works ;) As most of our friends and family know, our daughter began her first year as a duel enrolled student at the beginning of this school year. She is both a junior in high school & enrolled as a freshmen at our local community college. The program she is enrolled in allows her to simultaneously earn both her high school credits and a years worth of college credits while she completes prerequisites at the community college. Depending on your child's interests and level of commitment to the program it is possible for a student that is enrolled to graduate high school & receive an AA degree at the same time. ...

10 tips to help you plan the perfect trip to Yellowstone National Park

Riverside Geyser O ver the years, traveling has been one of the biggest highlights for my family & I. It's something we love to invest in and make a reality as often as possible. My hope for you friends, is that traveling during this past crazy 14-15 months (of life during the pandemic & all the chaos that has ensued) has been a possibility/reality in one way or another, but for those who've had to put travel plans on the back burner (perhaps due to numerous trips being cancelled or forfeited due to the pandemic) maybe it's time to pull those plans back onto the front burner, crank up the heat & get yourself ready for a trip you won't forget.

We hope you will grow to love it & place it on your must see list (if it isn't there already😉) & that these 10 tips will help prepare you & your family or friends for the grand adventure you are sure to have wh...

Pecan-Pear Green Salad

My family loves this salad! I have been making it for holiday gatherings for the past 7 years and the bowl is always empty on the way home, haha. This year was no exception, although we had a much smaller gathering it was requested and as usual the bowl was scraped clean;) One of the great things about this salad is that it can be prepared ahead of time and will keep well in the fridge for a few days (*before the dressing is added to it) which makes it a snap to bring to a holiday gathering, potluck or take on a picnic. Ingredients: 1 container of mixed salad greens (I prefer O Organics mixed greens) 1-2 medium ripe danjou pears (sliced into thin slices) 1 avocado (sliced into slivers or thicker chunk size pieces) 1 cup dry roasted, sugared pecans *Additional ingredients options: Dried Craisins or Dried Blueberries Fresh blueberries & strawberries in lieu of pears Feta cheese Slices of Chicken would be excellent in this as well to add some more p...
