It was my turn for Sunday Supper last week and I was not in the mood. I’ve been both mentally and physically drained from teaching lately and cooking a fancy dinner was last thing I wanted to do on a Sunday. Thankfully, I have a bunch of go to super easy meals that still seem […]

Our Sunday Suppers are still going strong, some have been a bit more casual due to warm temperatures or busy schedules but delicious just the same. This past week I made Poulet Basquaise with Butter Rice, the flavors were fresh and it was the perfect meal for a warm Sunday evening. The main spice that […]
This is a little different from my typical date night in posts. The weather has been so beautiful in Maine that it’s nice to have a date night or day outside. I love to pack up a picnic, drive to a local park or maybe a bit further 🙂 and have a nice little date […]
Warm weather screams casual meals to me. As the temperatures rise outside the last thing you want to do is spend hours in a hot kitchen making a fancy meal. So, our Sunday Suppers during the summer months are more low key but that doesn’t mean that the flavors aren’t amazing! One of my favorite […]
A new month means a new date night in idea. This time we are “traveling” to Portugal. Andrew and I have tried to make a flight to Portugal twice and we ended up in Belgium and The Netherlands instead. Not complaining at all, it’s the adventure of stand by travel! We’ll make it to Portugal […]
We’re in the 2nd week of February so that means it’s time for another date night in! The first date night in with a French theme was a casual Apéro, which is a great way to spend an afternoon or evening in. But Valentine’s Day is a week away and today’s French date night is […]
So, we did a thing. A thing that I swore I would never do. We bought an artificial Christmas tree. Even as I’m typing this I still can’t believe that we have a fake tree sitting in a box ready to be assembled this holiday season. It just doesn’t seem right! Andrew has wanted to […]

I’ve been doing a lot of baking lately, like a lot a lot. I have a wicked sweet tooth and being cooped up has only enhanced it. Tonight we’re having a French themed dinner so I’m going to make Mousseline au Chocolat from Mastering the Art of French Cooking by Julia Child. Most of the […]

I’ve been slacking a bit on my Sunday Supper updates. I was in Florida this past Sunday visiting friends for my winter break (being a teacher has it’s perks) and the Sunday before we actually went over to Andrew’s mum’s house for dinner. For Christmas this year she gifted us home cooked meals with a […]

January is over and we’ve been doing pretty great sticking with our Sunday Supper plan. With alternating our Sunday meal planning I was lucky enough to have one of mine fall on Super Bowl Sunday, yay! (This is full of sarcasm in case you couldn’t tell.) Super Bowl kind of comes with its own predetermined […]

So Sunday Supper turned into Monday Supper last week. I had my meal all planned and groceries bought but sometimes you just want pizza and a good beer and not have to worry kitchen clean up. Andrew gave me the challenge to pick a recipe without a picture and it was really difficult for me […]

Happy January! I can’t believe that it’s 2020 and I’m not driving around in a Jetson style space car yet. I mean I love my mini cooper but my 6-year-old self thought I’d be zipping around the universe by now. Oh well, despite that I am welcoming 2020 with open arms and hoping that it’s […]
