Earlier this week I asked for your help on Facebook. I wanted to know what kind of recipes you wanted to see on the blog. One answer that came across more than once was quick and easy recipes, especially for those crazy nights when the kids all have something going on. Crock pot recipes was [...]
Chicken Marsala
This last weekend my in laws came to visit and see Tessa perform in Hairspray. Since they don’t visit very often I always want to make sure that things are nice while they are here. Despite the craziness of everything that was going on last weekend I wanted to fix a nice Sunday dinner. I [...]
Chicken Parmesan Soup
Today’s recipe is a dinner suggestion. Try this…. when it does this…. Yes, Portland had a snowstorm this week (a snowstorm being defined as one inch of snow on the ground) It canceled school for the day although by noon the snow was pretty much gone so Tessa and I had some fun at Target [...]

Spicy Honey Chicken
Today’s recipe is actually one I made several months ago that I forgot about. It is another amazing recipe that uses chicken thighs. If you haven’t cooked much with chicken thighs you really need to give them a try. They are so moist!
