What's For Dinner?

When I started back to work full time I had a very difficult time juggling everything. There were two ladies in my life at that time that were wonderful cooks. I would reach out to them practically begging for them to send me some simple recipes. I didn't have the time or energy to cook as I did when I was staying home with my oldest until he was two or even when I went to part-time. Well, I never got any recipes from them. I was tired of fixing hamburger helper and spaghetti. I needed some ideas. This was long before I had heard of Pinterest. (insert Hallelujah chorus)

I felt alone in this hat that I wore as a working mom. It was not my dream. My dream was to stay home with my babies. It didn't work out that way and I was full of anxiety and stress and felt that no one really knew how to help me, didn't have the time or thought I was being ridiculous because, after all, a lot of women juggle careers and households, right?

In 2016, my youngest son was diagnosed with a soy and rice allergy on top of his peanut allergy. Since then he has been diagnosed with other nut allergies so we just have him stay away from nuts altogether, One year later in May of 2017 I was diagnosed with celiac. Meals got real, y'all.

Thank the good Lord for Pinterest. I was able to find a lot of recipes that we could all eat. Even some that I could "improvise". Yay!!!!

That being said, when God put upon my heart to start this blog, I knew that there would be a section for recipes. Maybe meals are not a challenge for your family but they are for many of us. And even if you don't have any food allergies, new recipes are always nice to change things up a bit. My goal is to post at least a couple for you a month.

Most of these recipes are not my own creation, they have been borrowed from other pinners or family recipes. I hope you will be blessed by them!
