Tonight’s dinner was completely from the freezer, box and jar. Dance nights are for quick meals. We used Wegman’s Turkey Meatballs for the first time. They were okay for a pinch but they were a bit dry and flavorless. I far prefer the turkey meatballs I normally buy at BJs. I cannot even remember the…

Homemade Waffles
This recipe is highly adapted from the Waffles I recipe at Allrecipes.com. I used our Cinderella Waffle Maker so the pockets were not as deep and fluffy as could be but the flavor was very nice. Ingredients 2 eggs 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 3/4 cups milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup sugar 4…
Chicken Alfredo Roll-ups
This recipe for Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups is originally from Mmm…Cafe. The recipe can be found at mmmcafe.blogspot.com which adapted the recipe from Artsyfartsymama.blogspot.com. I am going to say that mine look nothing like her beautiful Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups but they taste AMAZING! I also added Ricotta to mine to make it even cheesier. Next time…
Macaroni and Beef with Cheese
I found this recipe on Pinterest which is from Michael Ruhlman’s Translating the Chef Craft for Every Kitchen. The Macaroni and Beef with Cheese recipe is on Ruhlman.com. I did not read this entire recipe the first night I went to make it until it was about an hour before dinner. Read through this recipe…
Cheesy Potato Casserole
This recipe is an adaptation from Food.com’s Mom’s Cheesy Potato Casserole aka Funeral Potatoes. This recipe originally contained cream of chicken soup but having a gluten-free child we do not use canned soups. So I just tried it without the soup. Although it probably wasn’t as “firm” we all thought it tasted good. I served…
Spinach Lasagna
I finally found a good, cheap soy free spaghetti sauce for my family and that made this dinner all the easier to prepare. I have a son who is soy sensitive so I usually make my own spaghetti sauce but I was able to find one made with olive oil. Ingredients: 1 box of lasagna…
Lobster, Mussels and Pasta
This was one of my kids favorite dishes. I made it easy by buying the lobster and mussels pre-cooked and flash frozen. Working as a tax preparer this is our busiest season so anything I can do to make meal preparation easier I take advantage of it during this time of year. The meal…
Corned Beef and Cabbage
A traditional St. Patrick’s Day staple in our house. Ingredients: 1 large corned beef brisket 1 12 oz can of dark beer such as Guinness 2 cup of chicken stock 1/4 cup of brown sugar 1 small head of cabbage 1 16 oz. bag of baby carrots Directions: Core and quarter the cabbage removing the…
Kielbasa with Sauerkraut
This was another emergency meal for me. I needed something quick at 8:00 pm at night to throw together for dinner for my family and this is what I came up with. I added cut up veggies on the side and dinner was served in 15 minutes.
Week 10 of the No Repeat Meal Game
So we are moving into week 10 of the no-repeat dinner game. I have been doing well so far. A few times I have really, really had to stretch – Meat and Cheese Platter? But it worked for my family. We are learning quite a bit along the way too. We are still eating dinner…
Cheesy Ham and Broccoli Casserole
Having left over ham from last night’s Hawaiian Pizza I created a casserole with bits and pieces I found in my cupboards and refrigerator. I usually don’t follow a recipe when making casserole because too often they contain a can or two of Cream of Something soup. Having a gluten-free son we don’t use creamed…
Hawaiian Pizza
Sorry for the horrible picture. It was done quickly before dinner was devoured! This is a dish that I pull out every once in a while and every groans and complains about until they taste it and remember how much they actually love it. I made it very easy this time starting with a…
