Last week Zachary & Serenity made breakfast all week long.  They set their alarm and got up at 6a.m. and had it ready by 7!  Usually we eat at 8-8:30 so this was quite an adjustment for me.  Serenity was pretty tired by the end of the week, missing that extra hour of rest in the morning time.  Zachary is an early bird so it was not unusual for him.  This week I’m back on breakfast duty.  This week things needed to be simple since my friend and her kids will be spending most of the week with us.  We’re going to be busy sewing (besides LOTS of jabbering) so…

First you’ll need to be sure you have Roasted Raspberry-Chipotle Sauce.  This is key.  Without this I cannot guarantee they they will wow you.  But if you have this sauce…  Let’s just say it’s very important to the goodness of these fish tacos. A few things you’ll need to make these tacos are: Grilled or broiled salmon Flour Tortillas Feta cheese (wonderful flavor with the…

Last week we tried a few new recipes.  The Olive Garden Salad and Dressing was excellent and is something I will make again.  The Quick Beef Wraps and Thai Cucumber Salad (both from Healthy in a Hurry by Company’s Coming) were good but did not wow me enough to want to make again – especially the Quick Beef Wraps.  I didn’t get to make the Honey Gingered Salmon on Friday since I was missing a few ingredients.  So we had broiled salmon instead.  This weeks menu notes… Monday – Beef Stroganoff (a new recipe) Tuesday – Green Chile Enchiladas (using leftover sauce), Salad Wednesday – Cheesy Chicken Vermicelli (a new recipe that Laura at I’m an Organizing…
