Keeping it real

Dear grocery store costumers in Aisle 7, In case you were wondering, yes, I did see all 10 of you today, when you stopped to glare at me for disciplining my children. Just wanted to make sure you were aware your increase in frown lines wasn't in vain. Thank you for taking an interest in how I raise my children. I hope when you go home tonight and tell your spouses about the 'woman at the store with WAY too many kids, that were out of control,' you won't forget any of the thrilling details. And sir; yes, you over there, who I don't think was quite loud enough with your disapproving exhalation of breath; next time I will a little harder not to block your view of the salad dressing selections as I run full hilt down the aisle--in heels -- to stop my five year old from knocking the juice boxes off the shelves. Oh yes, lest we forget, let me just clear it up that it was my five year old who was screaming at the top of his lungs for me not to spank him, after stopping th...

Kate's Best Bites: The Week of Jan 14th

Hi Best Biters! I know I am a few days behind this week, so hopefully you will all forgive me. This week we will only be featuring my supper menu, as my kids are eating almost the exact same things this week that they did last week. (Truthfully, they eat almost the same lunches every week, but they like them, so why chance what works, right!?) So here we go! Tuesday: Pork with Mustard Lime Vinaigrette, Steamed broccoli, gluten free rolls, and a fruit salad. Wednesday: Spinach and Gruyere Quiche Thursday: Ratatouille and roasted red potatoes Friday: Pizza Night Saturday: Home made Mac and Cheese (and this is amazing!) Sunday: Crock Pot Indian Chickpea Curry Prep Day: If you notice I am doing a lot of, 'day of' cooking this week, because that is what I was in the mood for, but there are some quick things you can do on your prep day to make it go faster.

Kate's Best Bites: What we are eating this week

*blows off the thick layer of dust that has settled on this old thing!* *taps the microphone* Is this thing on? Can you hear me? Good. Well friends, you asked, I've answered. Many of you have asked me to write down sample menus for our family, as well as recipes and tips for how to make life in kitchen quicker, smoother, and more healthy. I decided this was a perfect way to resurrect my forgotten blog. But first a few disclaimers. *I can't promise this will happen every week. Life moves fast. Five boys are a lot of kids. I like to sleep eventually, contrary to what some of you think. I'll do my best, but no promises. * I am by no means a healthy food nut, and so I am sure some of you are going to look at some of the things on this and go, "wait a gosh gahl darned minute, that is just loaded with...." You're probably right. My goal in life is simply to do the best I can to raise my family with healthy, balanced options. Sometime we eat junk food, h...
