Give me a Break Green Smoothie
Well, we had an eventful week around here last week. Mr. McKinney broke his ankle and had surgery. Yep, 2 babies to take care of, but we are making it ok. He has been great about it and of course, is checking in on me to make sure I'm doing alright. After 2 years...
Graduation Reception Menu
For the past 12 or so weeks, Mr. McKinney and a room full of co-workers have been going through a Dale Carrneige Leadership Class. He has really enjoyed it and has enjoyed getting to know members of his team in a new way. My husband is a great Leader, and God not...

Short Cut Lasagna
Shortcut Lasagna is one of my top five "go-to" meals. Whether its a meal to gather, a meal to take, an easy meal to put in the freezer, or a hearty meal for a weeknight dinner that we can eat as leftovers later in the week. The meal is hearty, its a few ingredients...
