Cooking for three growing boys has its challenges.  They may always be hungry, but having been raised up to this point on primarily convenient foods, they have a very limited idea of what is acceptable to eat.  Unfortunately for me, just about any vegetable that I consider to be amazing is not currently on that list. After months of trying…

… to spring I imagine.

Teriyaki sauce is tops on my list of sauces. It goes with pork, chicken, beef, veggies, and you guessed it – salmon.

Top a beautiful piece of grilled Alaskan salmon with this sweet sauce, add bell peppers with chunks of pineapple, and that’s a sweet burger anyone would love!

It’s a little bit sloppy to eat, but [...]

Peanuts and chocolate are a gorgeous pair.  They play well with each other.  they are comforting. They hang out well together.  to top all of these compatibility perfections, they are simple to combine. Both are wonderful on their own.  Aside from those with allergies to nuts, most people enjoy these lovely legumes.  Most people also enjoy chocolate.  Bringing the two…

My girls are pretty self sufficient in the morning when it comes to making their own breakfast but usually it is just a bowl of cereal with some fruit, toast or some oatmeal.  This works out great for me because I work every morning and when it’s busy I just don’t always want to stop to make them something to eat! 

On special days or days when I know they have worked their little bodies pretty hard the night before (BMX or Ice Skating) I will get up early and make them their favorite breakfast…

It’s really nice and simple and they truly love it…

Breakfast Sandwich (makes 2)

     Ingredients:

4 slices of bacon, cut in half so they fit on the Sandwich Thin
2 eggs
2 slices of American cheese
2 Arnold’s Select Multigrain Sandwich Thins

 

Directions:

Place the bacon slices in your cast iron skillet (works best but you can use any skillet), cook until nice and crispy.

Toast your sandwich thins once the bacon has cooked.

Cook your eggs in the same skillet with the hot bacon grease.  Salt and pepper the egg and gently break the yolk.  Turn the egg to make it over easy and have the yolk mostly hard.  Top with the slice of cheese and allow to melt slightly.

Top one half of one of the toasted Sandwich Thins with 4 slices of the bacon (cut in half so they fit right?), then top with the cooked egg and melted cheese and the other Sandwich thin half.

Repeat for second one.

**They really like this with a cut up banana and some OJ.

***We have been known to have this for dinner as well…We love “Breakfast for Dinner Nights”!

Grandma has a dinner date, and when Grandma serves dinner to her friends, she does it up right.

Seafood jambalaya is one of Grandma’s favorite dishes, so she decided to jazz up this recipe from Taste of Home for a romantic dinner.

Grandma’s advice when it comes to cooking her jambalaya? She [...]

You can thank Larry for the name of these yummy little treats. After one bite, he said, “they taste just like those no-bake things the girls used to make.” And he is right – I have inadvertantly created a more complicated version of that recipe we all made when we were teenagers. So, why even [...]
