Every now and again my friend and I go to Costco together. Sometimes it is the only time in our days that we can figure out to catch up. So we talk through the world as we peruse the isles of milk and bread and the latest Costco specialties. I…

Easy Chicken Tacos (…and actually, tostadas too, because you can do either one). I don’t do macros any more, but I am still always on the lookout for things that have good protein and lower carbs…and are delicious. Oh, and easy is a big deal for me too. So I…

It is the last day of school here in the desert. I’m trying to sort out my feelings about this one. My baby is graduating from Junior High School. And part of that makes me pleased as punch. And another part of that makes me feel hollow and empty and…

A few months ago Lucy determined that “bread” is not part of the dessert or candy category (things she decided to give up for 2020), and fell in love with pumpkin bread. It is interesting (and tough) to try to teach Lucy where things are in the kitchen. I feel…

I’m getting ready to post about our Eyre reunion. For anyone who has read about past reunions (you can see them if you click on “deliberate mothering,” then “having a plan,” then at the bottom you’ll see “Eyrealm Reunions”), you know we take food very seriously up there at the…

The timing when we got this new blog format up and running happened to coincide with the midst of the college-kids-shuffle (more about that soon, phew!), and I’m almost a little gun-shy to jump into posts over here after Josh has made it all so beautiful…I almost don’t want to…

Let’s just start by saying this is my new favorite meal.   It is SO GOOD.  Not sure I can emphasize the “SO GOOD” quite enough on this one.  So many flavors wrapped up in there so “married” together in harmony. Good enough that it made my girls look like this,…
