How was everyone’s weekend? Did all the moms get everything they wished for? We had a great weekend. We decided to reschedule our trip for Galveston due to storms. The weather ended up being wonderful but you just never know. Now we are scheduled to go to Galveston the first weekend in June. My [...]

My son had come home from school one day and said he tried zucchini bread and loved it. He said he loved it so much that he ate 3 pieces. I will admit, I thought this child was lying to me. He has done this before, said he tried something at school and liked it. [...]

Well, softball season is officially over. The girls played 3 back to back games on Saturday in sweltering heat and they placed 3rd. I am really proud of those girls. Baseball season is almost over. We play our last regular season game on Monday night, then all we have left is the tournament. Our team [...]

  Brisket is the ULTIMATE meat of Texas. Most people think the only thing you can do with brisket is smoke it. I am here to tell you that brisket makes a amazing taco! You HAVE to make this recipe. It is sure to be one the whole family will love! I had to cut my brisket [...]

I may or may not of just written this menu plan out minutes ago. It was a crazy weekend where I did not get a chance to sit down and think about menu planning. We were on the go the entire time. Baseball, softball, baseball and more softball. Add church and Awanas into the mix [...]

  I love poblano peppers. They are not too hot. A very mild pepper but with a ton of flavor. I usually call a Stuffed Poblano Pepper a Chilie Relleno, but I have learned that some consider a Chilie Relleno a stuffed poblano pepper that has been baked in a egg mixture. Most stuffed poblanos [...]

  I can not believe April is almost over. That means softball and baseball are coming to a close. Time to come up with a great end of the year gift for teachers. Time to plan summer fun. It just comes too fast sometimes! Once again I did not get to make a couple new [...]

  Today I am bringing you a recipe that anyone can make and you can really make it your own. Now, we ALL have a couple of these boxes in our pantry right? If you don’t, you are un-American. I kid, I kid. Seriously, this is one of those pantry items that make my life [...]

It is a rainy day in Houston today. The temp has dropped a bit which is nice but I do not think it will stick around long. We are suppose to have softball tonight but we will see if that happens later. I plan to prepare for it just in case since we never find [...]

Rice is a must have dish when it comes to Tex-Mex. Rice is affordable and delicious. I have been trying to figure out new ways to incorporate cilantro into my meals. It is one of my favorite herbs in the whole entire world now. The rice dish is simple, yet full of flavor. When you [...]

I love Mexican food. LOVE. I could eat it every day of my life for the rest of my life. Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. To be honest my usual snack is salsa and chips. I just can’t get enough. Together with Rachel at Following in my Shoes, we are going to present to you all month [...]

  Good Monday Morning! I hope everyone had a blessed Easter Weekend! I decided to start planning breakfast and lunches along with my dinner menu. Most of the lunch menu is for me since the kiddos are in school most of the week but if they are home they will eat what I am having [...]

I can not believe March is just about over! That means Easter is coming and really, the year is almost over! 2012 is going by way too fast! My menu plan got a little out of sorts when  my parents decided to come visit us instead of coming this weekend. It was a wonderful visit [...]

We survived Spring Break! Barely. No really, it went fine. We had a small little getaway, kids never said “Mom I’m bored”, and hey…they survived. I did not get to bake as much as I would have hoped but I think I can get a few things done this week. Here is our menu plan [...]

It is Spring Break here for us. Normally I would have a nice layout of all our meals since all 3 kids are home, but I slacked. At least for today. I am just now sitting down to plan out some menu plans. Here is what I have so far: Monday- Breakfast: Find it, Fix [...]

Well, we finally have our routine of softball/baseball going. This means fast easy meals that can be eaten room temp or at least still taste yummy reheated! It is almost my goal to seriously limit our eating out. We ate out too much the past week! Here is what I have planned for our meals: [...]

I know I am way behind in getting this up for you guys and I apologize. We had a very dramatic weekend and beginning of the week. There will be blog posts explaining it all another time.   Here is what we have planned for meals this week Monday- Turkey Dogs Tuesday- Ribs in the Crockpot, [...]

Jake’s 3rd Birthday Party was a success this weekend! We ended up having to do it indoors as it was just too cold outside for us Texans. I hope to have a blog post up soon about it. I am a little behind in posts so bear with me. We have a pretty packed week. [...]

We survived the Super Bowl! We had a great time with all of our friends that came over to watch the big game with us! Now this week means its time to plan for Jake’s 3rd birthday party! We will be using a lot of leftovers so I will have room in the fridge come [...]

I have slacked BIG time on the menu planning. I wrote it down but I forgot to share it all with you! I am getting back on the wagon so to speak of planning, following the plan, and make sure everyone is happy with the meal plan. At least MOST of the family is happy [...]
