Over a year, a busy year...

It has been such a long time since I have posted anything on this blog. I almost gave up and thought about deleting the blog altogether and starting over from scratch. However, I didn't want to completely give up on what I had already put into this blog.

So, what's been going on around here? A LOT! My kids won't stop growing up so fast. My oldest is now 11 and only 3.5 months shy of turning 12. That's a scary thought for me. It was hard enough that he started 6th grade and middle school this year. The next one down is now 10, he finally got to double digits and he enjoys rubbing my face in it. And the baby, she is now 5, started Kindergarten and loves to think of herself as the princess. But the baby is no longer going to be the baby... we are currently expecting our 4th little one, due at the end of January 2012.

But despite our long hiatus, we are back. The kids are still taking over my kitchen, even more than they used to as well. Now we are also more careful about our meals as well, becoming more observant in our beliefs over the past year. So there is quite a change from how we were cooking over a year ago. We put a lot more thought into what we are preparing but we're still trying to keep the meals fast, easy, inexpensive and kid-friendly.

We hope you enjoy!
