Dishing out food and thoughts with a whole lot of love, from this working momma to you.
Beast and me in 2012 Before kids, Beast and I used to get 20+ ski days in a year. With little kids it is a lot harder to get up the hill so we have been rather impatiently waiting for Ladybug and Bear to be old enough to start skiing. We did a single ski … Continue reading My Recommendations for Kid Ski Gear: Primary.com and Epic Mountain Gear
Fall is one of my favorite times of year. The air is cooler, the leaves are changing and hopefully my Kansas City Chiefs and CU Buffs are doing well on the field. Plus there are all the things I love to cook this season. Chili is definitely something we have at least a few times … Continue reading Mama G’s Crock Pot Chili and Green Chile Cornbread
Ladybug and Bear's library bags with library cards attached. We are incredibly lucky to have a fantastic library branch in our county (Douglas County Libraries). They offer a summer reading program with lots of incentives to encourage kids to read more over the summer and all of their facilities are kid-friendly, cool spaces to beat … Continue reading Kid Gift Idea: Library bag with library card tags
The other night I was planning on grilling my Chicken and Rainbow Veggies but a windy rainstorm thwarted my grilling plans. I pulled a quick switch to a one pan dinner. What really makes this meal is the grated fresh ginger. You can read about how I easily always have ginger on hand here. It … Continue reading One pan dinner: Ginger-Hoisin Chicken Thighs and Veggies
Making popsicles was on our summer to do list. One off day when I happened to have a watermelon on hand I went searching for a watermelon popsicle recipe. I found this gem: Strawberry Watermelon Ice Pops from Super Healthy Kids. To make them just a little extra lemony, I zested the lemon prior to … Continue reading Someone else’s great idea: Strawberry-Watermelon Lemonade Popsicles
We have a bit of a blizzard happening today in Colorado. Schools are closed, my patients are rescheduled, and we will be snuggling inside all day. Instead of our typically rushed morning we got to stay in our pajamas and ease into the day. We made pancakes and I finished off an entire pot of … Continue reading Snow Day Pancakes
Fall coming around always makes me excited for several reasons: Cute layered outfits, boots, Chiefs football, Buffs football, and baking anything and everything. This year we had another thing to be excited about: apples. We planted an apple tree a couple of years ago and this was the first year I was supposed to leave … Continue reading Mama G’s Apple Pie
I have not posted in a bit for a variety of reasons. Summer time for us was filled with lots of pizza at the pool and grilled chicken and whatever veggies and fruit we have while soaking up some time outside. (I also made this Lemony Orzo dish about 15 times.) I have a couple … Continue reading Work night dinner: Crock pot chicken
I always look forward to grilling season so I have an excuse to do two of my favorite things together: 1) get outside and 2) cook. I use our propane grill for dinner at least a few times a week once the weather is warm. Now I know there are some purists who think propane … Continue reading Grilled Chicken with Rainbow Veggies
When I was first starting to cook, I would often skip over recipes I saw that called for fresh ginger. It felt like something I never had on hand and something I didn't want to commit to a whole chunk of because I could never use it all. Yes, I finally realized I could freeze … Continue reading How to always have fresh ginger on hand and easy to use
