Happy Spring Break!!! We just started spring break here and the kids are SOOOO excited! I was happy just to turn my alarms off this morning for the rest of the week! 🙂 My favorite alarm app is “Gentle Alarm” because it is very quiet and vibrates. The song gets louder and louder the longer …
Good morning! So exciting news on the horizon – I have a full time salary job again! Well, it was a little sooner than I expected… but I have been taking classes to be certified in Gifted Education. And a full time Gifted Education teaching position opened up in the adjoining school district. So I …
Toy Update: I got a new toy!!!! Last summer was sooooo hot that turning on the oven was impossible. So, this year I got a new toaster convection oven and it is AWESOME. It is already hot outside and we have the AC on because of the children’s allergies. I made this pot pie in the …
Everyone has their own version of chicken potpie. I wanted to make a version of potpie with no “cream of” soups. No more canned anything, but still wanted a fast recipe. This recipe came out thinner than canned potpie versions, but made up for it in taste. The whole thing was gobbled up. Chicken Potpie …

Need a super quick and easy chili for a pot luck? This is what I made for our rehearsal of “A Christmas Carol: Radio Play” and it was soooo good! I shouldn’t make it anymore because I ate 3 bowls of it myself. I knew people would be bringing chicken sandwiches, so I thought I …
Soups on!! We went to Olive Garden last week and their Chicken and Gnocchi Soup is SOOOOO good that we just had to try and make our own at home. Everyone loved it — including the two kiddos and Mr. Whisk Together! The temperature now is 60 degrees in St. Louis, so I say we …
Reading now: I finished watching part of the HBO drama “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” with Oprah since I adore the book. The book is fantastic and was a hit at our book club! I really couldn’t finish the HBO show. I was bored …. maybe because I knew what was going to happen? …
Hey Everyone! I’m still alive 🙂 Just took a long pause to continue my photography and teach 4th grade full-time for a few months. Next month I will be a full-time student at the University of Missouri and possibly part or full-time teacher as well… we’ll see how this goes. 🙂 But hey, we are …
In five years with this blog, I don’t think I have EVER fried anything. But these chicken breast on sale were just screaming to be fried. I’m not sure how dead chicken breast can scream, but they can. So without further ado – here is one pansy who never EVER fries anything. And lived to …
