Stop the presses!!! Cheesy Chicken and Rice got a rating of …. drumroll please…. 4.5 biscuits out of 5! From Thing 2! AMAZING! When I find something that Thing 2 really, really likes, it makes me so happy, because it doesn’t happen all that often. So of course I have to share it! I have…
Buttery Shrimp with Lime
Imagine fresh, firm shrimp in a creamy, buttery sauce bursting with the tangy flavors of lime and cilantro. Sounds like something you might get in a nice restaurant, but you can actually make this at home quickly and easily! And the best news…your kids will love it too! This recipe was adapted from one that…
Sausage and Bell Pepper Stew
I made this Sausage and Bell Pepper Stew a few nights ago. I was really in the mood for a glass of wine, and this recipe calls for 1/2 cup of it, so making it gave me the perfect excuse to open a bottle. I had such a nice time slicing the peppers and browning…
Easy Crock Pot Chicken Soup
Lots of people love soup. I am not really on that wagon, but kind of dallying behind it. I enjoy soup if someone else makes it, but I don’t usually have enough of a craving for it that I would make it myself. However, every once in a while, a soup comes along that makes…
Healthy Snacking – Kale Chips!
“Mom, why is it that all of the snacks that taste good are bad for you?”, Thing 2 asked me, just the other day. Of course, he was not talking about fruit or yogurt or carrot sticks. Those are OK in his mind, but the snacks he really likes are the junky ones. The crispy,…
Chicken and Potatoes
A giveaway?!?! Hooray! I decided to do a giveaway to celebrate my birth month, March. Yes, I like to celebrate my birthday for a whole month! Why not, right?!? If I have to notch up that age count by one, I might as well make it fun! Plus, as a breast cancer survivor, every birthday…
Chicken Curry
I wrote about this recipe only a few weeks ago, but I just made it again and did some things differently, mostly because I was really pressed for time and needed to take some additional short cuts. Well, everyone thought the end result was even MORE delicious! So I want to feature it again to…
Ravioli Bake
I must confess. I used to resort to serving things like frozen chicken nuggets and macaroni and cheese, and other not-so-nutritional-but-easy-to-prepare options on the craziest days of the week. There, I said it. Whew! I didn’t do that with every meal, but definitely more often than I should have. Why? Well, at the end of a busy…
Microwave Hamburger Mac
Busy moms out there….have you ever just wanted a day off from being a mom? We love those kiddies of ours to pieces, but sometimes we just need some time for ourselves! I am sure you will be able to relate to this music video! This song was written by my amazing friend Maureen, whose…
Terrific Tilapia
“What’s for dinner, Mom?” the kids ask. “Fish,” I reply. “Hooray!!” they cheer. HA! I don’t know about you, but that is NOT how it typically goes in my house when we have fish for dinner. Part of that is probably because I haven’t served much fish over the years. But that is about to…
Grillicious Cheese Sandwiches
I always listen to music in the kitchen. It drives my husband crazy, because I like to have the radio on all day long on the weekends (he likes it a little more quiet…not sure how he survived the toddler years LOL!). Anyway, I just heard this song, and it is my new favorite! It…
Solution for dizzy busy evenings, and a helpful hint!
Ever have a REALLY busy evening with even less time than usual to prepare and eat dinner? It happens in my house all the time. In the past, we would sometimes resort to fast food because I just couldn’t figure out how to fit it all in. I won’t claim that we NEVER stop for fast…
Pumpkin Fluff
Welcome to the new home for this blog! DizzyBusyandHungry.com is now live! Yippee! This is very exciting, as I now have my own domain name and site! It has been an adventure getting everything set up and converted over from the old site. I am really happy with the new design! I am a little…
Pumpkin Cake
First post…so let’s start with my favorite part of any meal: DESSERT! My kids love dessert, especially my younger son. Sometimes, it seems they think dinner is just an annoying opening act to endure until the main event takes the stage in the form of something really yummy. Chocolate is always a hit, of course,…
