Microwave Lasagna
I was flipping through an old issue of Real Simple, and came across this recipe for Microwave Lasagna. Now we’ve posted several lasagna recipes here, but this was a new twist.

Asparagus is a favorite vegatable around our house, and although I love it grilled, roasted, sauteed, stirfried—you get the idea—it’s a quick and wonderfully healthy side dish when just simply steamed. The picky 4 year old is even a fan… If served without an sauce I allow him to eat it with his fingers, which is always a plus in his book! Follow the instructions outlined under eac…
Dinner in 15 minutes: Broccoli and Cheese Frittata
So, my husband works a second job two nights a week. On these nights, when it’s just me and the little boys, I like to do quick and easy dinners that don’t take my attention away from the children for too long. It would be super simple to open a box of something and dump it on a plate, or run through the drive-through on the way home, but I really try to avoid doing either of those things as much as possibl…
