Dinner of the Week: Birthday Pancakes

In our house, birthdays are a pretty big deal.  Life is for celebrating and one way we keep the celebration going all week long is with birthday dinners.  We allow the birthday kid to plan their week's worth of favorite meals.  While this may seem slightly indulgent, it's actually pretty genius because it gives me one free week of NOT planning meals!

Dinner of the Week: Burritos

These Burritos are great for a night when time is short and everyone is running out the door in a different direction.  Just prep the ingredients and let each person load it up and cook it as needed.  The prep takes about 15 minutes and each burrito cooks in less than one minute.

Dessert of the Week: Malted Milk Ball Ice Cream Cake


Dinner of the week: Marinated Grilled Chicken Sandwiches

Summer is for grilling and we're desperately trying to soak up these last few days of warm weather.
With a few kids splashing in the pool, another kid playing on the swing set, and a husband doing yard work, the last thing I want to be doing is preparing dinner in the kitchen.  This dinner had me outside reading a magazine next to the grill while watching my family enjoy the great outdoors.
