. I promised you a story about this chocolate cheesecake which I made last week for my Joshua's 17th birthday. He asked for a chocolate cheesecake, and this recipe is really a very decadent, but easy cheesecake. It doesn't take long to put together, and, under normal circumstances, is a very pretty,...

.. This week will be kind of quiet -- a welcome respite from past weeks with my back injury and multiple birthdays. College boy is coming home for the day on Sunday and he requested Chicken Parmesan. He also requested Linguine and Clam Sauce for the same dinner, but I do have my limits. I have a fun...

Yesterday's birthday boy requested, for his birthday dinner, crab cakes, garlic mashed potatoes and salad. Pretty easy supper, but not cheap. I swallowed my inner cheapskate and hardly looked at the price. Well, it was less expensive than dinner out, at least a nice dinner out. The recipe I use for ...

. I am republishing my post from Lent last year, and have added to it the meatless meals I have posted since then. ~~~~~~ Cooking during Lent is a challenge for most people (well, Lent is suppose to do that to us, isn't it?). We all grew up with a handful of meatless meals to choose from, some of wh...

. This week we have another birthday -- our second son turns 17. It is so hard for me to believe that my little babies are growing up. If you have little ones around, enjoy their littleness now -- it lasts for such a short time. Our birthday boy has asked for quite the grown up meal, I think. He has...

. Thanks to a lovely stomach bug that made its way through our house this week, I have several meals from last week's menu that were never prepared. I don't mind that they are showing up on this week's menu at all. I don't even have to shop for them. I'm doubling a few of my meals this week for a fa...

. Almost everyone in my house has had a bad stomach bug this week. I've discovered that's one way to save money on groceries! Our menu has been limited to oyster crackers, toast, dry rice Chex, chicken noodle soup (sans chicken), and some scrambled eggs for those who are on the way to recovery. I, f...

. I've been a poor blog host lately. Life has me so busy that while I'm cooking everyday, I just don't have time to write about it. This recipe is for all my friends who are expecting babies. This recipe is loaded with lots of good baby nutrition -- especially Omega 3 (technically known as omega-3 f...

. Next week finds us almost in the middle of January, with snow on the ground and getting back in the swing of our daily schedule. I'm going to resume my attempt at keeping dinners simple and cheap. It's not so hard to do one or the other, but I'm not certain I can do both. I asked for dinner sugges...
