May Monthly Menu Plan
As always April goes by too fast! This menu plan is a bit late but so helpful in keeping our family fed and happy. When I don’t have a meal plan for our family 5:00 rolls around faster. And then we realize we are missing ingredients. Planning for the whole month keeps things easy for…

BBQ Chicken Salad
BBQ Chicken Salad is such an easy dinner idea. I especially love using leftover BBQ chicken from the night before. Transforming leftovers is kind of my favorite. Or if I am in a pickle for time I will grab a chicken from Sam’s Club. I usually have the ingredients on hand. I love using food…
Taking charge of your Fertility: Book Review
