Spaghetti is such an easy meal, in so many ways. It’s very popular, it’s easy to heat up some sauce and to boil some noodles, and of course throwing some garlic bread in the oven. I honestly don’t remember ever hearing someone say “Eww!” when they heard they were having spaghetti for dinner. Shoot, theRead More
Growing up in our family, we were big fans of Hamburger Helper. It was quick, easy, and delicious. My mom could whip up a batch of this and serve it with some corn and green beans, and we’d have a complete meal. Within the past couple of years, I’ve learned a little too much aboutRead More
I have a confession to make… Growing up, I ate canned soup. As in, I think that may have been the ONLY kind of soup I ate. Once my brothers and I got set in our ways when it came to food and we found something we liked, there was no straying from that. InRead More

Over the weekend, my daughter and I took a trip to visit my parents. My cousins were also visiting with their kids…so we had a total of 6 children between the ages of 1-8 all weekend. It was…eventful, to say the least. My favorite part of the weekend was just watching all of the kidsRead More
