Cheesy Quinoa Zucchini Pancakes

When you have a five year old you can get them to eat just about anything if you call it a pancake (or at least that has been my experience) Anyway… I was cruising around Pinterest and found 2 “pancake” recipes I really wanted to try. Here’s one and here’s the other. (If you’re not on Pinterest and can’t see the recipes sorry ~ shoot me an email and I’ll send you an invite!) I couldn’t wait so I decided to combine them and see what happened. Absolute Deliciousness is what happened!! Here’s how it went. 1 cup quinoa 1 zucchini shredded 3 tbsp flour 1 egg slightly scrambled 1/2 c shredded cheese (I used a mexican mix ~ it’s what I had in the fridge) a couple tbsp diced onion (I used white, but...

Starting a Dinner Revolution

Every week I take time on Sundays to put together a meal plan. With school having just started my meal plan has grown to not only include dinner, but lunch and breakfast as well. Having this meal plan is what allows me to get dinner on the table every night, so we can enjoy some wonderful family table time. When I fail to make my meal plan, we fail to eat at home. When we fail to eat at home, I know we’re eating foods that aren’t as healthy and nutritious as they could be. Here’s the problem. Meal planning can be tough. Finding something new and interesting to make and staying out of a rut of the same 5 meals every week can be really hard. I’m always on the lookout for new recipes and things to add to our meal plan. I like my recipes to be...

Microwave Chex Mix

I’m feeling so completely unmotivated today. I have a list a mile long of things that need to be done and I just can’t seem to get going! I picked up a copy of How to Have Your Cake and Eat It Too… thinking I could call that work, and just sit down and read. However, I haven’t been able to sit down long enough to read more than a few pages lol. The last time Hanna came in complaining of being hungry I was just fidgety enough to say “hey let’s make something new”. We use the Kroger brand “chex”, which is usually well under 2 dollars a box. YAY! I saw the other day on the box that they have a chex mix recipe ~ for the microwave. I love chex mix… and my mom wouldn’t make it very often so it was...

PB & J Chicken Stew

Image by consumatron via Flickr I’ve had a couple people ask me what Peanut Butter and Jelly Chicken stew is so I thought I’d share the recipe with you here. This recipe comes from my favorite CrockPot Cookbook ~ 300 Slow Cooker Favorites I’m not big on following the recipe when it comes to crock pot cooking. I just threw everything in the pot and let it cook. After a couple hours I stirred it all up and then let it cook for the rest of the cooking time. Here’s the real recipe from the book. Peanut Butter and Jelly Chicken Stew What you need: 8 skinless chicken breasts, thighs or drumsticks (Iused chicken quarters since I had a huge bag that was stuck together and I had to defrost the whole dang thing to use some for Morrocon chicken...
