I am an Army wife, a mother and a lover of fine food. Unfortunately my children are not lovers of fine food and my husband is in VA eating in a hotel room. Soon it will be deployment and then maybe many late nights of not making it home for dinner. I know I should cook like our parents did and eat what the kids eat. Easier said than done. I have one child with Autism who refuses to touch vegetables and fruit so I have to puree and hide them. Another child who only likes fruits and vegetables and all three hate their food mixed. So there goes the casserole idea. Honestly, my taste buds are a little more refined than box mac and cheese and tacos for dinner every night.

I have searched online for healthy recipes for one. Guess what? I cannot find any good ones. I decided to create this blog in order to help others who are coming across the same problems. A few nights a week I will experiment and post the recipes that are a success.

As for tonight, I am about to make grilled cheese and canned soup for the kids. Me??? I am cutting up some grapes, green apples, smoked gouda. a few crackers and pouring a glass of wine.
