My Signature Drink for Fall

food

Do you feel that? It's a crispness in the air that means that summer is actually over and it's time for football, firepits and Fall shenanigans.  Once upon a time I had a friend whose mother-in-law had her house decorated to match each season. I used to aspire to one day be that homemaker but I've since let go of that aspiration and made peace with adding just a few signs of the season to our home.  We've already mounted our college football team's flag to the front of the house (Go Gators!), planted an array of warm-colored mums along the front walkway, and re-painted the firepit in anticipation of cool evenings on the patio. Naturally, the only thing missing is a signature drink for the season. In planning last year's holiday menus, I … [Read more...]

Ah, The Dinnertime Grind: Gina Neely Gives A Fresh Take on What to Make #Sponsored

food

It's 5:30pm. You had every intention of making a well-rounded meal for your crew that included a protein, vegetable, fruit, dairy, and grain just like the USDA taught you to.  Except your daughter decided (at 3:15pm)  to try out for the school play (at 4:00pm) and you forgot that your other daughter had to stay after school for Brownies and your son is hungry "NOW, Mama!" and you are seconds away from letting them all eat cereal for dinner. Don't despair, we've all been there.  In fact, the scenario above was my house, 2 weeks ago.  I've been menu planning for ten years, mainly to stay organized and minimize my dinnertime stress, but also to make sure that my kids are eating intentional, healthful meals.  Sometimes though, life happens … [Read more...]

A Delightful, Deserted DC {and Dinner This Week}

family, food

Our neighborhood pool closed for the winter today (*sniff*!) and the school supplies for Child No. 3's first day of school are packed up and by the front door for orientation tomorrow (FINALLY).  For all intents and purposes, summer is over.  Which is ironic because the crazy hot and humid summer days that the DC area is known for are just starting; hopefully this means we'll have a warm fall.  We closed our vacation out with a bang this weekend, taking full advantage of our staycation and a city that was a veritable ghost town.  Since most made their final trips to the beaches in our area (Bethany, Rehoboth, Ocean City and more), the streets here were quiet and empty and DELIGHTFUL.  Never was it more obvious than on Friday evening when we … [Read more...]

dinner this week aka summer eating shutdown!

food

I don't know about you but the kids have been killing it in the food department this summer. It seems like they're always hungry! The grocery bills were getting out of control so I've decided to slow it down a little and not go ham (ha ha) with meals.  For starters, I bought one package of chicken that I am going to attempt to stretch for for the week. Yes, they will be tired of chicken by Friday but maybe that means they'll eat less. #KiddingNotKidding … [Read more...]
