Pumpkin Pie Icy

Published on by greenandgrateful21 Comment

After naps today it was warm, a bit humid, sunny and we all needed a snack… but we all wanted a “treat” as the boys like to say.  As we were talking about what that treat might look like they were running through options that typical kids would think of, but, of which, we had none on hand.  Tonchi wanted gum or candy and Koa wanted chocolate.  Aisling would have been happy with whatever sweet she was given, grapes probably would have done it for her, but she is happy to go along with the boys… most of the time!

Crunchy Summer Cabbage Salad

Published on by greenandgrateful2Leave a comment

Last week I had a head of cabbage that needed to be used and some other random veggies and a summer picnic coming up with no idea what to make.  I wanted to make salad that my family could enjoy to make sure there was something at the picnic we would be able to eat.

Peking Duck and Hoisin Sauce

This past week was our first week of homeschooling!  We had SO much fun, I feel like it was stress free and Tonchi and I  (and sometimes Koa and Aisling joined in) really just had a good time together.  I can say that after the first week, but I hope I can say that after the 4th week and the 44th week and the 4th year and so on!  This is a new start for us and I’m super excited!

Chicken Salad

Published on by greenandgrateful22 Comments

Usually cooking a whole chicken is something for winter and not summer… however… northern VA weather took an unexpected turn!  It was in the mid 70s in August!  That NEVER happens!  Since we don’t use (rarely use) the AC it was a nice change.  Since it was “chilly” compared to the 90s temps we had been having I decided to have a dinner that needed cooking in the oven.   Continue reading “Chicken Salad” →

Ginger Snaps – Nourishing Traditions Style

Published on by greenandgrateful2Leave a comment

As I mentioned in the post from the book review of Nourishing Traditions on snacks I wanted to try the recipe for ginger snaps.  Since we went to the beach last week I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to make them for a special treat while there.

Pesto

Published on by greenandgrateful2Leave a comment

These days we are being over run with fresh basil.  Never a bad thing, but it always stresses me out when they start to go to seed, which takes the sweetness out of the basil and results in a bitter flavor.  It really bothers me to see things going to waste. I’m constantly nipping the tops off to preserve them for a little longer!  So as I attempt to use it all I’ve come up with lots of recipes for fresh basil that we really enjoy in the summer.  Even just throwing a bit in a fresh summer salad is delish.

Spicy Apple-Glazed Meatballs

Published on by greenandgrateful2Leave a comment

Guess what!  Another amazing recipe! 😉  I know… I’ve been posting a lot of amazing things lately, but really… I only post what I think is amazing… so maybe I need to loose the word or use my thesaurus and find a new word to use.  It’s probably the most used word on my blog at this point! 😉 Continue reading “Spicy Apple-Glazed Meatballs” →
