Broccoli with Oomph!

2
My kids actually eat broccoli, but they like it plain and boring.  I like food with a bit more to it so I am trying out this recipe I found on Mrs. Green's website.  It will serve 4 and takes no longer than 15 minutes.  Perfect for my working mom lifestyle!  As a bonus, broccoli is packed with vitamins:

Thoughtful Thursday: Does Everything Happen For A Reason?

8

  Night is a time for so many things.  Sleep is the first one that comes to mind. Yet sleep eludes me most of the time.  I find myself hoping, wishing, crying out for sleep...but NO!  Sleep does not always happen at night! Night is a time for great thoughts!  I formulate some of my most wonderful plans and ideas … Continue reading the story "Nighttime – MyTime"

Roast Chicken: Easy and Economical

As usual I am running late as we all tumbled in from work/school.  Traffic was a little slow due to the unexpected snowfall we had last night.   Peanut and Button got down to chores and then homework, Hubby took care of phone calls, and I began the roast chicken before settling down to … Continue reading the story "Roast Chicken: Easy and Economical"
