We don’t use a lot of tartar sauce but it is requested every now and then. My kids like to eat it when they have fish sticks.
This recipe is so simple and I usually have all of the ingredients on hand. You can also add minced onion and seasonings to it to make it suit your tastes. Continue reading “Easy Tartar Sauce”
This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.
I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.
I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

Who doesn’t love a good ole fashioned banana split? This is just a general guide as to what we use for ours here. We vary the toppings and sometimes we even make our own ice cream. Continue reading “Banana Splits”
I think everyone has probably seen, if not eaten, some version of this incredibly easy dessert. My kids love it and sometimes we will dress it up with gummy worms. This also works well for parties and such if made in individual plastic cups.
These also make cute ideas for Groundhog Day snacks or desserts!
