Now that we are back to school, it means back to packing daily lunches. Ham & Cheese get old pretty fast, so I like to change things up. Banana & Peanut Butter Roll Ups are easy to make, and Sawyer thinks they are fantastic. Another one of Sawyer's favorites is when I make fun sandwiches with leftovers. Taco Sandwiches are one he looks forward to as well. We keep King's Hawaiian Rolls on … [Read more...]

I love that Disney is making so many of the old classics that I grew up with into live action movies. It is so fun reintroducing a whole new generation to the nostalgic stories, characters, and songs that I was obsessed with as a kid. Dumbo was always one of my all time favorites.

Slow cooker chili is pretty much my main go-to, save-the-day meal in the winter months. I can't tell you how many times its mid-afternoon and I realize I don't know what I'm going to make for dinner.

BUSH’S® Savory Beans are … [Read more...]

Have you ever celebrated the Chinese New Year? Last week when the kids had a half day at school we went to have lunch at our favorite local Chinese restaurant and were sad to see a sign on their door stating they'd be closed for the next two weeks. I don't think our little local place ever closes so we were happy to see that they were off enjoying time with family but didn't know what to do … [Read more...]
