School Night Supper {Spaghetti & Meatballs}

July 28, 2024July 29, 2024

One of my “lazy mom supper” standbys is spaghetti and meatballs. But, the secret sauce is to use all Rao’s ingredients. I start with a box of the frozen Rao’s meatballs and sauce. To make it go further, I add an extra jar of Rao’s sauce. And, I use the Rao’s spaghetti as well. There are only six meatballs so you may want to do two boxes. A dollop of cottage cheese tops mine off!

Everything Rao’s is expensive so I stock up when it is on sale! Feel free to share your “lazy mom suppers” in the comments.

July 26, 2024July 26, 2024

I’ve shared here that every year I print out 300 4×6″ prints and slide them into an album. I love knowing that I have real photographs of our most special memories. Well, at the very beginning of senior year I figured out quickly that I was going to need all sorts of pictures of John,… Read More

Celebrating the Class of 2024 {Yearbook Tribute}

July 25, 2024July 26, 2024

I was a wee bit scared John would not be pleased to open his yearbook to find a full page tribute. But you only graduate once, right?! And my motto through this season of life has been to celebrate everything to the fullest. I was so glad we took his senior photos last summer, as… Read More

Happy Hour {Watermelon Cosmo}

July 23, 2024July 8, 2024

This watermelon cosmopolitan is a bit labor intensive as you have to cut, blend and strain a watermelon to get to all that wonderful juice. That said, if you have a long holiday weekend like I did, it is a delicious, light and refreshing spin on a cosmo! Since there are just two of us… Read More

Sunday Supper {Pot Roast Gyros}

July 21, 2024July 8, 2024

I’m back with another great Half Baked Harvest crock pot recipe! I love any meal that doesn’t require me to heat up the house with the oven. This one was a big hit with the family, but I thought the cut of meat she recommends was kind of tough. I’d use something different next time.… Read More
