Grilled Sirloin Pepper Wrap

 

This is a kind of recipe that you need to mix it up and have fun with, which in my opinion is the best there is. I’ve had a lot of kids in my house recently, there’s been two birthdays and then a number of kids that just suddenly drop by around meal times .  The best thing about this recipe is the very fact that it can be done on the grill or in the stove and it’s quick either way. You can use whatever is on hand and the kids get to end up picking and choosing what goes in their own wrap.  Lay it out like a buffet line so they can move down and pick which will go into their own. This is also a great way to use up left over meat.

Lemonade Popsicles

It’s summer and it’s hot hot hot! Nothing beats good old lemonade to beat off the heat during a heat wave. Why not kick it up a notch and make some ice pops at the same time? It’s easy, all you need is reusable popcicle containers and you are set to go! I picked mine up at the dollar store believe it or not, great bargain and really once you get them you’ll wonder why on earth you never thought of this before.

It’s super easy to do and you will have enough to make ice pops and sip some cool lemonade at the same time!

Rice Broccoli Pot Pie

I adapted this recipe from my all time favorite dish my Grandmother has always made. Lately with spring rainy weather and some colds in the house I needed , hearty, warm comfort foods. This Rice broccoli casserole usually is topped with crackers, but I topped it off with a pie pastry to make a “pot pie” version and added in chicken pieces. My kids loved it!
