Not So Deviled Eggs for a #SundaySupper Easter

010Pretty dresses, lilies and bonnets at church, bunnies, eggs and baskets at home… those are the images I think of when I think of Easter. However, I am the mom of boys. There are no pretty dresses and bonnets. Baskets are not filled with marshmallow ducks or chocolate bunnies. My boys like beef jerky. Cashiers must think I give the lamest Easter Baskets ever, but my boys love them. I do indulge in fancy egg decorating. I have even taken a class on Ukrainian Egg decorating, Pysanka.

First Day of Spring…and Taco Cups

Spinach and Goat Cheese Quesadilla for #WeekdaySupper

Spinach and Goat Cheese Quesadilla for #WeekdaySupper

In my household, we enjoy our meal times. I prefer to cook instead of ordering take out or stopping for fast food. I believe in using fresh ingredients to make the best meals for my husband and children. My husband works the night shift and I work days, so throughout the week, we are opposites for everything. Dinner time is the one meal that we as a family can all sit down together. It is the time of day that we can talk about our days, plans, generally just what is going on in our world. We may not always sit down at the table, but you will find us sharing a daily meal, even if it is off the kitchen island, on tv trays or in our dining room.

Spring?

This Week’s theme for #SundaySupper is Springtime dishes. This was a hard one for me. Living in Michigan, Springtime has not quite yet hit our area. We went to bed with the temps lingering around 30F and woke up to a blanket of fresh snow. The Chill in the air tells us that we are still in Winter’s grip but the longer days are telling us another story, the sun shines longer and there is hope that Springtime is around the corner.

Eggs

Hi everyone…

I just wanted to share a picture of my dozen eggs. Note the “Wind Egg” is still in the reusable carton. I still have not decided just what to do with it. The ladies in my backyard, Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, have been busy with the longer days.

Vegetarian Fed…Community Chickens Post

Hi Everyone. There is a new post over at Community Chickens. This is the result of being able to leave the boys home with my Husband while I grocery shopped alone…Yes, all by myself. While I had the time to go up and down aisles, reading labels and checking things out, I decided to wander over to the egg section. There, I noticed that some of the cartons were labeled Vegetarian Fed.

Street View from my Village

This February in Michigan has been a cold one. Life at my house is spent bundling up children and fighting the snow and frozen waterers for the chickens. Seed catalogs have come and orders have been made. The days are getting longer and there is hope of Spring in the brisk air, but the cold is still lingering outside my door. On days when the wind is blowing and snow is swirling around, there is nothing better than a nice hot bowl of soup. It is as heart warming as it is body warming. For #SundaySupper this week, Pam of The Meltaways is hosting a Souper Sunday Supper.  I am contributing a Smoked Chicken Sausage and Cheese Tortellini Soup.
