Home cooked meals are a must in our home and one of my family’s favorite meals believe it or not is Sloppy Joes.  Now if you remember way back when, there was a commercial that showed a family enjoying their meal of Sloppy Joe that consisted of ground beef with a mixture that came out [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/yummy-sloppy-joes/feed 2 http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties#comments Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:49:35 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2526
What do you do for kids birthday parties?  To be completely honest with you, I’m not into having large parties.  Not because I’m a party pooper, the contrary I love a good party.  My biggest issue is the thought that we must spend 100′s for a kids party.  What every happened to simple parties at [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/kids-birthday-parties/feed 4 http://drmommychronicles.com/as-promised-alfredo-sauce-recipe http://drmommychronicles.com/as-promised-alfredo-sauce-recipe#comments Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:06:11 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2476
If your family is like mine, they love different pasta dishes, but they seem to love white, creamy sauces.  Below I share with you the Alfredo Sauce I made for my family which was a big hit! Alfredo Sauce (from scratch) Ingredients: 4 tbsp butter 4 tbsp all-purpose flour 1 cup of cream or milk [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/as-promised-alfredo-sauce-recipe/feed 0 http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget#comments Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:52:39 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2404
Many of you may or may not know that I am a mom to 5 children.  Three of those are teens and we all know how teens can eat! With this in mind, my goal was to cook and serve healthy meals but on a budget. For many years, we purchased food items and ingredients [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/shopping-for-many-on-a-budget/feed 3 http://drmommychronicles.com/lentils-veggie-soup http://drmommychronicles.com/lentils-veggie-soup#comments Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:08:16 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2391

As a home school mom, we love our sunny days because the children can go out to release energy as well as explore the outdoors.  My little guy especially enjoys hunting for bugs and worms, oh yes, he is All-Boy So, you can imagine when rainy days come and they are not allowed to go [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/rainy-days/feed 1 http://drmommychronicles.com/spanish-beans http://drmommychronicles.com/spanish-beans#comments Mon, 25 Jan 2010 13:43:20 +0000 drmommy http://drmommychronicles.com/?p=2296
Oh yes, beans can be ethnic, didn’t you know that? Well, at least in my home they are.  I can recall my mom making beans from scratch, not the canned variety.  Mmmm, they were yummy and I made sure to watch intently so I could replicate her recipe for my family someday.

I’ve been wanting to write this post for quite some time.  The feeling of contentment is one that many have a difficult time accepting. With everything that is happening around us, recession, earthquakes and so much more…how content are you?

Did you happen to notice the pictures on the slider of the home page?  Building puzzles has been our family’s latest addiction but a good addiction.  Recently our big screen television died! Yes, it was not a happy moment for my family, but I saw it as a way to bring the family closer.

I’ve been contemplating writing this post for a couple of days and have finally decided to share. Part of the healing process is one of acceptance and the ability of sharing with others your thoughts, and feelings. My dear friend, Shellie, lost her precious 2-year old to a tragic pool accident on Monday, December 14th.

This holiday season we have decided to Go Retro! What does that mean exactly?  We have toned down the Christmas lists and have requested the children truly think about what they may need not necessarily ‘want’.  After much thought and revisions of their lists..I received their final drafts. Some of the requested items consisted of: [...]]]> http://drmommychronicles.com/teaching-the-children-to-give/feed 1
