Reviewed Spinach-Artichoke Cheesy Tortellini

"This was fabulous. I made a few changes based on what I had. I followed another reviewer;s suggestion and used evaporated milk instead of heavy cream. I also didn;t have artichokes so I chopped a red bell pepper and added it along with the garlic and onion. I used fresh spinach instead of frozen because I had some I wanted to use up. I lo..."

Reviewed No Bake Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge Pie

"We took this to a church function and it was a hit. In fact, I only got a little sliver of it. I put a layer of chocolate fudge ice cream topping on the bottom and then drizzled some over the top too. It was rich and creamy and so easy to make. We will make this again. I did add a bit of the Cool Whip to the peanut butter mixture first to make it e..."

Reviewed Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

"I made these a few days ago as I was told to eat as much oatmeal, flax seed and wheat germ as possible. I subbed about 2/3 c of flax seed meal for flour and also used chocolate chips instead of raisins. They were so good. I am planning on making them again tonight. I love the texture. I made them small using a small scoop and only cooked them for 1..."

Reviewed Eclair Cake

"This is the same recipe we use and we love it. It is not too heavy, great for summer gatherings. The only thing we do differently is to heat the frosting in the microwave until it is just pourable, then we pour it over the top. It works just great like that for us."

Reviewed Clone Kraft's Catalina Salad Dressing

"This was so good. I used a little less sugar. After I made it we have had salads quite often because the kids and I love this dressing so much. I think it is important to use the blender as it makes the emulsion. I don't think I will ever use the store bought stuff again. edited June 2012. This has been my go to recipe for a long time now, I don't ..."

New Topic Menu planning for 2 weeks after baby is born in Cooking on a Budget: OAMC, Make Ahead, Freezing & More

"I am expecting our 6th child this August and I would like to continue to feed our family on a budget with healthy and varied meals. I had thought about freezing some stuff but I don't want casseroles and soups because it will just be too hot. I will have a C-section so mobility will be a problem for a while. They need to be fast or super easy so Dh..."

About Me

I am a stay at home mom with 5 wonderful children. When I have time I love to scrapbook and journal. I also crochet and do cross-stitch and enjoy reading my Bible. Sometimes I am all into trying new things then other times I only want old standbys. I like to get veggies into my picky kids by sneaking them in where they were not expecting them. I've learned that its improtant to try new things 2 or 3 times before you can really consider it rejected. Sometimes the second time you offer it to them they will scarf it down, when the first time they barely got down the mandatory taste bite. Go figure.

I love to cook and am training my kids to wash dishes so I can do more cooking without dreading the dishes afterward. Although my kids are also interested in cooking, I am making an effort to pick recipes and times that we can make things together, when I won't get stressed out because I'm in a hurry or too tired.

Favorite Foods

I love cooking so much more when the weather turns cold. I get out my apron and bake, make casseroles and am willing to invest more time in cooking. We love chicken and pork and the crockpot.

I guess I am famous for my deviled eggs, chicken and dumplings(for my niece and nephew anyway) and my mom likes my broccoli salad. My mom likes to make sure I'm not bringing anything strange when I take a dish to her house, so I have learned to take 2 dishes if one might be considered out of the norm.
