Glad to hear that we have some adventurous travelers amongst our Hey Grandpa group. It is really fun for me to do. A couple of summers ago, we went to Hawaii for the first time. It was nice and relaxing, but I really missed getting out and experiencing the culture of a place. Of course, we...

Quote: Travel is one of our favorite things to do. We don't own a large or fancy home or new cars, but we do enjoy visiting places throughout the world. We are also pros on traveling cheap and save for a long time to be able to afford these trips. Our European trips cost us $3,500 (shoulder...

My goodness you guys are making some wonderful dishes! I love all the pictures and recipes. Thanks so much! sourland - Yes, there is a cure for the addiction. You need to go on vacation somewhere other than Italy and get addicted to a new regional food. I love travel and I love the food...

Monday - Leftover chili, cornbread, and salad Tuesday - Sour cream chicken and mushrooms over fettuccini, green beans, and sourdough bread. Tonight - B4D, of course!

Quote: That sausage sounds yummy! The upside to working is that I get to see my kids during their school day occasionally, which is more than I saw them during the school day when I wasn't working there. Charlotte is doing great! She has adapted fully and the girls all get along well now...

Was busy playing catch-up all day today. Thankfully, I had some leftover gumbo in the freezer. It only took a while to make some rice and a side dish and dinner was on the table. Best thing is that it was really good and the family loved it.

Quote: I'm enjoying it, but it is a lot of work. It's supposed to be part time but there's so much to do that I often work over my hours. I'm the director of marketing for a private middle/high school. I still have my other job as well, plus I've recently become a certified Zumba...

I need to be invited over to eat with you guys. My new job and my desire to make good dishes are in conflict these days. I'm still trying to figure out that balance. Tonight was B4D and we've been eating leftovers (gotta love leftovers when you're busy). My morning is more open tomorrow...

Hello Kitchen friends. I haven't been on here in forever. My new job is keeping me busy and therefore I'm making fewer extensive meals. In the past few weeks there has been a pork roast, several rounds of fish, spaghetti, soup, etc. I don't know why this happened, but today is the first...

Made a yummy Gumbo and served it over rice. Sides were salad and sourdough bread. Yum! Lotsa leftoevers went into the freezer, too.

Funny! We're having porterhouse steaks tonight, too. But, we're having ours with steamed broccoli and cauliflower, baked potatoes, and salad.

Happy Birthday, thechickenchick! It sounds like a lovely celebration for a wonderful milestone. I don't know why, but 40 didn't phase me at all, but, for some reason, 24 did. I guess in my mind that was the end of my freedom and the official launch into full-fledged adulthood. Once I...

Thanks Amanda0609 and to BettyR, the OP of the bun recipe!

Quote: Ohhh, I need the 40 minute bun recipe. Where can I find it?

Keeping it simple again. Tonight will be turkey meatball subs. I already had prepared sauce from a previous dinner (love making enough for leftovers!) so it'll come together rather quickly. We'll have that with a side salad and lots of garden 'maters.

Quote: I've always made my potato soup with a russet potato because, if for no other reason, it falls apart nicely. As for broth, I usually do a combination. My favorite broth isn't really a broth in the typical sense. When I crockpot a whole chicken, there's usually a very rich...

I can't possibly be the only cook in the kitchen these days, am I? It's going to be easy dinner tonight - Burritos. I've taken on another job (in addition to the one I already had) so I'm having to be more creative with my time. I'll probably be using my crockpot and my pressure cooker more...

I printed out that soup recipe. Sounds yummy! Tonight I made a Mango Curry Chicken recipe. I went a little bit lighter on the curry because my son doesn't really like it. BUT, tonight's dinner got rave reviews by all, including the son who interjected that it needed MORE curry.

Tonight was a garlic/herb pork roast, brown rice, and baby peas. Last night was a BBQ chicken* recipe that I was told was a Chili's Restaurant knock-off (though I don't see anything similar on their website), mushroom rice, and salad. * Marinate chicken breasts in teriyaki sauce. Grill over...

Crusted mahi mahi, couscous, and oven baked ratatouille made from goodies from my garden.
