How are you spending your St. Patty’s Day this year? We usually go out to dinner so I can have corned beef since I’m the only one who eats it. My husband is almost pure Welsh, so that’s his excuse to get out of it. The kids just aren’t fans.
This year since St. Patty’s Day [...]

Finding Alternatives

I’ve been finding some good alternatives for Zach who has some dietary issues. First issue is lactose intolerance. Thankfully it’s mild. He was on soy formula as a baby, and then soy milk since. Of course now research is out about how soy acts like estrogen and I wonder what I’ve done to my poor [...]

I know it’s way after Christmas, but I still made Krispie Trees for the kids. I melted 1/4 cup butter and a package of marshmallows. Then I added green food coloring until it was the color I wanted. Then I added 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and mixed it all together. Then I sprayed [...]

Birthday Dinner

After much agonizing and debating I chose Mexican food for my birthday. It’s not a restaurant we usually go to because it’s almost an hour away because there’s no real direct route and traffic. Here’s some pictures from our dinner. I love the style of the building. I should’ve taken more of the building itself.

Filed under food, review

OMG, I’ve been dying to tell y’all about this product. I’m seriously in love, and not just because I’m a kitchen gadget whore either. The Cuisnart Rice Plus Multi- Cooker with Fuzzy Logic Technology is just beyond cool. Let’s start off with the fact that it can cook soups, make rice, steam veggies, and even [...]

If you’re a regular reader here at Confessions from HouseholdSix, you know that my family rarely misses a week at Jigsy’s Old Forge pizza in Enola for their Wednesday dinner buffet. My husband grew up with Old Forge pizza, and through our nine years of marriage he’s gotten me addicted to it as well. Of [...]

Polish Mistakes – Recipe

Filed under food

I love to cook, and I’d like this blog to reflect that a little more. Usually I’m too hungry to take the time to take a few photos of my food before I dig in. It’s terrible.
Today I’m going to start with one of our favorite appetizers. During football season, I generally make 3-4 appetizers [...]

New Thanksgiving Tradition

November 23, 2009 by Amanda  
Filed under family, food

This year for Thanksgiving, we’re being rebels. It’s just the four of us (I think. The nephew hasn’t said and is known for last minute plans). I was talking to my husband and I asked him if he’d be heart broken if we didn’t have turkey, stuffing, and mashed potatoes. My argument was that since [...]

New Family Favorite Restaurant

Filed under food, local

Last night we chose to go to TGIFriday’s for kids’ night. Our usual Wednesday haunt is Jigsy’s for their buffet, but since my husband was just in Scranton, we have some pizzas he brought home half baked from our most favorite pizza place ever in the freezer. So back to Friday’s. Wednesday is kids’ night [...]
