What’s for Dinner?

3.03.2015

Inside Out Stuffed Peppers Recipe Easy DinnerInevitably, my husband will ask me this question every night that he’s home for dinner. Somehow he thinks that while I am busy working away at a real job all day long (you know, one that provides us with a paycheck), that I have time to come up with a full dinner plan. Until this blog starts giving me a little TLC reciprocation, I must punch the time card, and he’s stuck with last minute dinners.

Which is why I am all about being easy. I mean…easy cooking.  I like to get home and throw some things in a pan and end up with something delicious. Does that sound easy to you? I didn’t think so. Short of what my husband says, everything I make is NOT delicious.  At least he’s a smart man to lie. He would starve otherwise.

Before you go any further, you must accept that I eat all of those horrible products that you may think I’m crazy for eating. GMOs, pre-packaged foods, and please do not even get me started on Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. I love it. Yellow dye #6 has nothing on that creamy fake-cheese taste.Recipe Card Inside Out Stuffed Peppers Easy DinnerThis recipe is super easy, and tastes great. And if you’re feeling really adventurous, make the Spanish rice from scratch. And then invite me over for dinner so I can compare the two.

Tell me, what are you having for dinner? (I’m channeling my husband)

    Yummmm! Why does it sound like your husband and my fiancé are the same man? I can make something awful and he still inhales it and praises its glory when he finishes lol. Anyway, this look great! I’m going to have to try it!

      Oh my gosh they are the same! I always tell Brendan that he better start being honest or he’s going to be full of miserable food for the rest of his life!

        There’s a really good fish market nearby that makes them. They’re really good and inexpensive.

      3.06.2015 at 8:46 am

      It was really tasty! Although I must say I love hot sauce so I added a lot which gave it a different flavor! 🙂

      • kate365til says

        3.06.2015 at 8:48 am

        My husband loves hot sauce as well. He usually puts so much on his food that he begins to sweat. It’s fun to watch! He’ll love this dish:)

    Yum! Your creative recipe posts leave me wishing I could still drive 30 seconds down the street for an impromptu dinner, a few glasses of wine, and an SVU marathon ❤️

    If I’m lucky, a can of heated up Chef Barf-r-Dee. It’s #pitmad time for us writers, and I can’t tear myself away from the computer. It’s like a car accident, but in a good way.

      Hahaha “rubber neckers” who can’t pull their eyes away from the accidents. We have way too many of those on the roads up here.

One of my favorite things we get to give our girls One of my favorite things we get to give our girls is perspective. To see new places. To meet different people. To experience cultures outside of their own.

Not so they grow up thinking one place is “better” than another — but so they grow up curious, grateful, and grounded. And the more of the world we see, the more thankful I become for home, for the freedoms we have, and for the life we get to build together. 

Flag tees from @sweet_peas_and_sweeties - they’re selling fast so grab yours before they’re gone!
I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I might be the world’s worst “influencer,” because I’m here to tell you this: you do not need a whole new wardrobe for vacation.

Social media makes it feel like every trip requires new outfits, a new summer closet, a new date-night dress…but honestly? It doesn’t.

I’m willing to bet you already have plenty of great options hanging in your closet. And instead of spending a bunch of money on clothes you’ll probably only wear once, maybe it’s enough to just wear what you already love.
One day, instead of hearing little feet running th One day, instead of hearing little feet running through the house all day, I’ll be leaving voicemails hoping they call me back when they have time.

The sticky fingerprints will wash away, the car seats will come out, bedtime routines will end, and the house that once felt so loud will get quieter little by little.

It’s strange how the things that exhaust you in the moment become the very things you ache for later. 🤍
When did it become expected to spend hundreds of d When did it become expected to spend hundreds of dollars on Teacher Appreciation gifts? Don’t get me wrong, if it were in the budget you better believe it’s worth it. I am not advocating for giving them LESS, I’m just advocating for staying within your families budget. And maybe if we see more of these easy little inexpensive gifts, we can make it more acceptable to gift within budget. Because that’s what it’s all about. 

What’s that saying? It’s the thought that counts.
I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that I’ve been seeing so many reels lately saying that Mother’s Day is only for moms with small children. I couldn’t disagree more. To me, Mother’s Day is not just about me. It’s about the women who helped shape me, as a mother, a woman, a friend. It’s about my friends who help me be a better mother, even if they don’t have little kids themselves. It’s about my own mother, who is the biggest inspiration for me, to be a better mother myself. It’s about the many generations before me that allowed me to be a mother at all. It’s about every woman in my life that loves me and my girls as if they’re their own. That’s who I’ll be celebrating this Mother’s Day.

What are your kids always finding for you?
There’s something rare about being fully known and There’s something rare about being fully known and still fully loved. No shrinking yourself. No editing your personality.
Just being met where you are. That kind of friendship changes you.
It’s just a little walk… It’s just a little walk…
Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. The Unpopular opinion: kids don’t need more stuff. They need more boredom. More freedom. More outside time. More chances to build a world out of sticks and dirt instead of asking for the next new thing.

I’m not interested in raising a child who expects constant entertainment or new toys. I want to raise one who knows how to create their own magic.
