A few weeks back I posted about my back to school resolution and how it has become a challenge in the middle of my ever growing schedule to find time to make supper each night. I’ve employed some creative solutions such as cooking up meals ahead of time, freezing, and using my slow cooker more. I’ve even tried ~takes a breath~ planning. I hate that part of it. I’m really a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants gal when it comes to supper. I like to just wait and see what I’m in the mood for when it comes time to cook. I also don’t enjoy cooking ahead as that takes the fun out of getting to cook each night for me, but I’m working on developing new habits in order to be able to adjust to a more demanding work schedule and still keep family the top priority – and it’s working.

Today, I’d like for you to tell me how your back to school resolutions are going and we have a special treat for those who leave a comment!

  1. Well, my first plan, was to let the kids do their own homework and look it over afterwards, and to only help when asked,. It has been going great. I like to kinda take it over, but have been really good about not doing that. And my second plan was to have dinner everynight w/out the tv on. We do good on that most nights. I’d say 5 out of 7 nights we make it. We’ve been having lots of conversations during dinner instead. So, all in all, the school year is off to a great start! Love your website Christy!

  2. My resolution this school year was to not get so busy that I didn’t have time to make good dinners. This website has been a tremendous help for me!

  3. I love your website! I can find most all of the older southern recipes that my grandmother and great-grandmother made while I was growing up…I also love the southern sayings section!!

  4. Christy, Just want to say I love this website. I found it on accident actually while looking for another site. Needless to say I did not go any further!! I have used your recipes with great success. My family has loved most everything I’ve tried. Please keep the recipes coming so my week nights continue going smoothly. 🙂

  5. I’m a fly by the seat of my pants gal too. Dinner is always crazy at my house but we love southern plate recipes. Chicken noodle soup is one of our favs.
