National Chicken Cacciatore Day!!

I looked up online how to make chicken cacciatore in the slow cooker because I had an Avon meeting tonight and wouldn't be home until later. So I threw in some chopped up onion, two cans of tomato sauce (8oz), a small can of mushrooms, and some seasoning. Then got home, made the pasta, and ta-da! Dinner!
I love my slow cooker!

National Fluffernutter Day!

My dad was actually the one to introduce my children and I to Fluffernutters. I thought he was crazy, but turns out he wasn't! A Fluffernutter is just a marshmallow creme and peanut butter sandwich. The kiddos love them and are enjoying them for lunch today! Hope you enjoy one too!

National Noodle Day!

When I would stay with my Grandma as a child, she always made ordinary food special. It's a magical ingredient that Mothers/Grandmothers or anyone add to the food they are preparing, love. It's always in stock and never needs skill or measuring. So for National Noodle Day I made some homemade mac and cheese for my girlies that my Grandma used to make for my brothers and I years ago. The receipe is so simple and easy but takes me back to Grandma's kitchen.
