Meat and Cheese Plate
No matter how much I love cooking for my family some nights are just too hectic to do what I want to do. I am still keeping up with the no repeat dinners so I had to come up with something quickly that we had not had for dinner yet. Voila! The beef stick,…
Baked Ziti
Put cheese on any dish and my family will eat it. They love baked ziti because of all the gooey cheese. I boil a 16 oz. box of ziti until it is softened but not too al dente. I pour 1/2 a jar of homemade spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 pan. …

Steak with Potato Wedges and Asparagus
Tonight’s dinner was a small steak we broiled with Montreal Steak seasonings. Love that peppery flavor. Potato wedges drizzled with olive oil and baked in a 350 oven. A great easy dinner!

Not so General Tsao’s Chicken
This dinner was a disaster from the start. I had a meeting on the night the dinner was to be cooked so I left instructions to follow the recipe on allrecipes.com for General Tsao’s Chicken. Well my better (cough, cough) half could not find the recipe so they cooked the chicken for me in…
Grilled Turkey Reubens
This was a quick, yummy dinner for my family. Though my children were a bit skeptical when it was first presented to them they both tasted it and asked if they could have them for lunch the next day! A sign of a hit to me. Ingredients: 1 lb. cooked turkey breast 8 oz. Swiss…
