Today was our first day of school after the time change and it started off WAY too early. Pea was up at 6:00 this morning and Monkey wasn’t far behind.
Part of the kids’ chores is to help with meals and today was Bear’s day. He was SO excited to help make breakfast and lunch.
Breakfast was [...]
So, today was a wash in the kitchen! My mother-in-law offered to take us to dinner and buy the kids much-needed winter coats. Who could argue with that? And we went to a playdate this morning so I just grabbed some chili from our freezer. That’s the one thing about my menu…it’s flexible. I don’t [...]
Happy to be at Home would like to introduce you to our next Kitchen of the Week guest blogger, Ruth from the MacCárthaigh Family. We’ve had guest bloggers from America and Australia before, but we’ve never had someone from Ruth’s part of the globe. It should be a very interesting week!
Hello, my name is Ruth [...]
This morning, after breakfast, I worked more on all those apples. The kids want me to make apple butter out of the rest of it. I’d say I am about 2/3 of the way through the two bushels. I made better time since the older kids were doing school, the baby was sleeping, and the [...]
Bethany (age 3 months) did not cooperate as much as she did yesterday, so I really didn’t do much in the kitchen today. I spent most of the day snuggling her. Life’s not too bad when you cannot do work because you get to snuggle a baby!
For Breakfast we had cinnamon toast and yogurt (Both [...]
This morning we had a bit of a scattered breakfast. Nathan had yogurt, milk and toast and Joseph and I had cereal.
After breakfast Joseph headed off to school and shortly there after the repairman called and let me know our car was ready to be picked up. So Nathan and I took a walk to get [...]

I awoke to a very rainy, grey and drizzly day. I just love days that make you want to curl up on the couch with a good book or movie with a cup of herbal tea, hot cocoa or chocolate chip cookies, yum! Well unfortunately I wasn’t able to enjoy this drizzly day very long, [...]
Welcome to the sixth and final day in Amy’s kitchen. Amy has been very adventurous in her kitchen lately, trying out new things and getting reacquainted with some old favorites. We are very excited to see and share a week in her kitchen. We hope you enjoy this week in her kitchen.
Wow. It’s the last day [...]
Like Mother, Like Daughter. We are a family who live in Central Massachusetts. My husband is a Boston Irish Catholic from a big family. His upbringing was smack dab in the middle of respectable Catholic America, not untinged by 60s unrest.
I am about as different from him as you can get: I’m an only child, my parents are divorced, my father was an immigrant from Egypt, I was raised on the cutting edge of the feminist/relativist/sexual self-fulfillment/diversity revolution. My upbringing was smack dab in the middle of 70s hippie snotty know-it-all America, not untinged by anomie.
