👋 Hi!!! Thanks for being here! ✌️ I’m the mom of two boys, ages 17 & 20 🙋‍♂️ When my youngest was little he constantly asked, “What’s for dinner?” 🍔 Not just that night’s dinner, upcoming dinners too! lol 🧠 I’ve always been a meal planner but couldn’t remember w/o checking my grocery list 💡A friend suggested I hang an old window & write out the week’s meals. Then, when asked I would say, “Check the board.” 🪟 Yes, I know it’s a window, but “check the window” sounds weird 😂 🪄 It worked like magic & we still rely on it! 🙌 FFYN stands for Fend For Yourself Night ✨ It turned both my boys into great cooks! Genius! 🍽️ My goal is to provide meal inspo 🩷 Thanks for following along! 🩷 My favorites: ⛪️ Faith 💙 Family ❤️ Texas 🐕‍🦺 Abby 👩‍🏫 School Counseling ☕️ Coffee 📸 Photographs 🏡 Houses 📖 Books & Magazines 👩‍🍳 Recipes 🪞 Antiques 🍷 Wine 🍸 Dirty Martinis 🪴 Gardening 🍺 Friday Afternoons taken in Texas by @check_the_board

Summer Garden Pasta☀️🍅🌿🏡🐓🌻 👩🏻‍🍳 @inagarten ✨ 4 pints cherry tomatoes, halved ✨ 1/2 cup EVOO ✨ 2 tablespoons minced garlic ✨ 18 basil leaves, julienned ✨ 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes ✨ 1 teaspoon kosher salt ✨ 1/2 teaspoon pepper ✨ Combine ingredients in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temp for about 4 hours. ✨ Just before serving add your cooked pasta and 1.5 cups parmesan cheese. 💡 Put Parmesan cheese in a food processor, so it’s ground rather than grated.

As a Texan, I don’t consider this chili, but it was delicious! What do you think? Comment TURKEY for the recipe. Enjoy, no matter what you call it! ✨ Recipe changes: I omitted the edamame, bc soy makes me sick, and changed the kidney beans to pinto beans! These were great calls imo! lol! Next time, I’m omitting the carrots and chickpeas. Then, I think it will be perfect! taken in Texas by @check_the_board

Shredded beef sandwiches! Perfect for football 🏈 season. Comment FOOTBALL for the recipe. ✨Note: I use whole pepperoncinis instead of what recipe calls for. It feels weird bc they have stems, but don’t worry they fall off in the slow cooker. I just love the flavor so much & they don’t disappear when you use the whole ones. taken in Texas by @check_the_board

My neighbor and I will both be empty nesters next year when our youngest kids go off to college. She recently brought up a good point, it’s going to be hard to cook for two when we have spent so many years cooking for four. {And my four is more like six since I have big eaters.} She joked that she’d pay me to cook dinner & bring her half the meal each night! Lol!!! I’m sure we will figure it out! ✨🍁🏡🍂 Here’s a breakfast for dinner I made this week…just for me! I’ve discovered sweet potato and scrambled eggs go very well together. These individually packed @honeysmokedfish salmon are perfect! You can stir it altogether with some hot honey for a yummy bowl. Save leftover sweet potato for other meals. 🍠🍳🥚🍁 🍠 Dice sweet potato and top with evoo, taco seasoning and salt. Roast at 425, stirring halfway through, for 25 minutes. taken in Texas by @check_the_board

If there’s one thing my boys (ages 20 & 18) love it’s ground beef & rice! My oldest has made his own rendition for years & he ALWAYS adds avocado. 🥑 He’s away at school, but if he’d been home, he would’ve added avocado to this kimchi beef bowl as well! 🔗 Comment COOKBOOK and I’ll send you the link 👩‍🍳 #amazonaffiliate taken in Texas by @check_the_board

Garnish with basil 🌿 and enjoy 🍷 There are lots of recipes out there for this dish! You can use ground beef, instead of sausage. You can use different types of pasta. Have fun with it!! taken in Texas by @check_the_board
