Slow Cooker Beef Bolognese

Vacation food inspiration…I love it! When we were at Disney last month, Whitney ordered Beef Bolognese one evening. She shared a portion of her entree’ with Dale and he raved about it. If you’re not familiar with this dish, don’t think spaghetti. Here’s an official description of what it is…

Authentic bolognese is not a simple tomato-based meat sauce, but a complex ragù with a prominent meat flavor and a small amount of tomato.

When we got home I set to work looking for a good and healthy recipe to try.

Disney Deliciousness

How kind the Lord is to allow our D&D ministry to start back up two weekends ago. We returned to a church in Florida for a meeting. It was a great time with these precious people!

After it ended, we had the fun of meeting our daughter, Whitney and her husband, Paul at Disney World! It had been 40 years since we were there, and that was as sponsors for a school trip, so it wasn’t really a true experience of the parks. Paul and Whitney are pro’s, so she planned our trip and we got to go along for the ride (pun intended!).

Since Monday is normally recipe day here on my blog, I’m going to share some of the amazing food we ate while there. The blessing is that though we took in some calories, we walked an average of six to eight miles each day, so we got in plenty of exercise!

We didn’t just eat inside the parks; we went to the different resorts to enjoy their restaurants as well. That was one of the blessings of traveling Disney with seasoned veterans!

Here are the some of the delicious things we enjoyed and the place where we ate it…

I’ve posted these on my blog in the past, but if you’re new here, or if you haven’t made these recipes in a while, here’s your reminder! These will satisfy your craving for “real” food with minimal effort!

Eating a burger that is a healthier option doesn’t have to be boring! There are so many great recipes and options to add that make a turkey burger just as delicious as it is healthy!

I recently made a recipe that called for sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. Wow! These added so much flavor! Creamy feta is also part of the recipe. What great flavor and texture additions they were!

Refreshing Summer Menu

June 17, 2024June 16, 2024 RefreshHer3 Comments

Our Father’s Day was a sweet day! Even though my heart pangs at missing my precious dad, I rejoice that he’s in heaven and we’ll have eternity to be together!

Yesterday we had the blessing of being in church and worshiping, then heading home to have our daughter, son-in-law, and grandsons here for dinner.

I love a good reason to decorate the table with a theme and also create a menu for the day. I went with blue and white and folded the napkins like a man’s tie. My grandsons “wore” theirs before the meal! Too cute!
