Attempting to be a Super Mom

I was struck with a crazy craving for a Greek cucumber salad. When I found this recipe at  The Salty Marshmallow  I was excited. The best part though, is that my kids actually got excited by it too and my daughters found out that they actually love cucumbers now.  Greek Cucumber Salad For the salad 2 large cucumbers, sliced (we usually cut them in half as well) A package of cherry tomatoes, halved 1/2 red onion, halved and sliced 1/4 cup kalamata olives, pitted and sliced 1/4 - 1/3 cup feta cheese For the dressing 1/4 cup olive oil Juice of one lemon 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp dried oregano  1/2 tsp dried basil Salt and Pepper to taste Place the cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and olives in a large bowl and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad, then toss, and put in the fridge for 30 minutes. Top with feta before serving.

I’ve gotten so bad at many things as life has gotten more busy. Throw in a pandemic and 4 kids remote schooling and everything I really enjoy doing has going to the wayside. My reading was a struggle, crocheting hasn’t happened in months. I did a little embroidery for a week or two, but quickly ran out of time for that. Blogging, vlogging, photography, etc has been non existent. Cooking, which I usually love, has really become a major chore. When I do cook something that we love, I usually lose the recipe in my long open list of tabs on my phone, iPad, or computer. I was a hot mess before the pandemic, but now, I’m a hot mess unable to get off of the struggle bus that has become life.  Ok, well I have decided that I don’t know how much life posts I will have here, but I do know that I need a place to put our loved recipes. So, I’m going start that now. Sharing my family’s favorite recipes we’ve found all over the internet with everyone else, in one place so I can find it again and agai
