And then there are the nights of photoshoots, music rehearsals, meetings, and just utter craziness. We all have it. Bring on the the soup and grilled cheese. It can still look pretty …

Inspiration and some afternoon fun …
burgers please …
Sometimes you just crave a good burger. So that’s exactly what we had. A REALLY good burger! A bacon, blue cheese burger on ciabatta bread with avocado and grilled onions. Um … yum! Roasted carrots and cauliflower on the side, along with grilled potatoes. 
And there are nights that my kiddos get in on the action when it comes to cooking. They both seem to really enjoy it. So, my daughter decided we needed chocolate covered strawberries for dessert … she made them and we all ate them. Quite happily, I might add!
Norwegian Stew …
Or better known as beef and stout stew. Yum! At first it sounded intimidating but truly it was super easy. Marinated beef in stout beer (I used Guiness), plus fresh garlic, herbs and spices. Once browned I added onion, carrots, broth, bay leaf and of the marinade, and simmered it most the day. More homemade bread and a glass of cab … perfect for a cold evening.
stir fry …
Doesn’t get much better than this … fresh veggie stir fry and homemade dutch oven bread. Yum!
Taco Tuesday …
No, not every Tuesday but certainly a regular in our house. Fresh chopped onions, tomatoes, avocados, jalepenos, olives and cilantro. And of course, lots of cheese and homemade guacamole! Perfect bean tacos … or beef tacos for the meat lovers.
a definite fav …
A charcuterie plate. So simple yet so good. We ate many meals like this while traveling last summer and have since adopted it as a norm for us here at home. Homemade dutch oven bread, meats, variety of cheeses, apples and pears, and perhaps tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers.
