These simple gratitude activities, presented in a convenient printable, can help families have fun while giving thanks.

I wrote a post several years ago about gratitude activities for the whole family. At the time, I didn’t have kids who were old enough to participate in most of the activities.

Air Fryer Zucchini Chips

These crispy, flavorful Zucchini Chips are a fun way to eat a veggie! Prepared in an air fryer, they are healthier than traditional fried zucchini.

When my parents came to visit us about a month ago, they brought us a zucchini from my sister’s garden. If you’ve ever grown zucchini, then you know zucchinis tend to grow until they are rather large. This was one of those zucchinis. I was pleased to have this giant piece of produce because I’d been wanting to try to make fried zucchini … [Read more...] about Air Fryer Zucchini Chips

What’s for dinner in my house during October 2021? Menu items include Bourbon Chicken, Butternut Squash Fettuccine Alfredo, and Chicken Pot Pie.

We still have highs in the upper 80s, but that’s much … [Read more...] about October 2021 Dinner Menu

Occasional power outages are inevitable but losing the food in your freezer isn’t. These simple steps can help you keep the foods in your freezer frozen.

My family loves having a large deep freezer in which we can store frozen casseroles and foods that we’ve purchased in bulk quantities. I’ve written previously about the convenience of having a standalone freezer and about how (depending on what freezer you purchase and how you use it) having one can potentially save you money.

A sprinkling of parmesan cheese perfectly complements the delicious flavors of roasted bell pepper, yellow squash, zucchini, asparagus, and carrots.

As many of you know, my kids (and husband) aren’t big fans of most vegetables. I often try new ways to prepare veggies in an attempt to find ones they’ll enjoy.

Don’t let insecurities about your home prevent you from having visitors! Here’s how I confidently host guests in my imperfect home.

About two weeks ago, we got a phone call from my husband’s cousin and his wife. They were letting us know that they were on their way to our house (they live in Louisiana and were evacuating because of Hurricane Ida).
