When I saw this Braised Red Cabbage recipe in Martha Stewart’s Living magazine I knew I had to try it. There was a little German deli near where we used to live that would open for lunch 3 days a week from 11 am to 2 pm. If you were not there by 11:10 am…

Onion Pork Tenderloin
I have to admit what drew me to this recipe was how very easy it was to prepare and I had everything in my pantry to make it. Ingredients: 2 lb. pork tenderloin 1 16 oz. jar of Hellman’s mayonnaise 1 packet of Lipton Onion Soup Mix Directions: Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Pat tenderloin…
Salsa Chicken Nachos
I used the leftover Slow Cooker Salsa chicken from dinner last night to make nachos for tonight. I spread a bag of tortilla chips on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Sprinkled the shredded chicken over the tortillas and then covered with a 16 oz. bag of Mexican Mix Cheese. Bake in a 350…
Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken
This recipe turned out much differently than I thought it would. I let it cook for quite awhile as we had things to do and it ended up cooking about an hour or two past the time it was done. It was still very tasty but most of the liquid had been absorbed so it…
Shrimp with Bertolli Vodka Sauce
I can count on my two hands the number of times I have bought jarred spaghetti sauce. To me it is just easier to use crushed tomatoes and spices and make my own. Plus having a child with many food sensitivities makes finding ready to use products difficult. But, there was a sale last week…
Slow Cooker Loaded Baked Potato Soup with Chicken
I love my slow cooker. Yes, I am starting to use the term slow cooker as Crock Pot is a brand name and that is not what I have. But, I am using my slow cooker at least 3-4 days per week right now. This soup, stew, chowder? Whatever you would like to name it…
Stouffer’s Chicken Enchiladas with Cheese Rice
“Some days are like that even in Australia,” is a favorite saying at our house. The quote from Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst pretty much sums up yesterday for me. I don’t very often use pre-packaged meals frozen or boxed. If you also notice only one or…
Meatball Mediterranean Pitas
I love quick easy meals and this is one of them that my kids love. Pre-made frozen meatballs, small appetizer size, cooked according to package directions. After they are fully warmed I cut them in half to make them even easier to use. Naan Garlic bread slightly warmed. YUMMY! Diced tomatoes, onions and feta cheese…
Cheese Quesadillas
After grocery shopping today I had planned on making Pasta with Shrimp in Vodka Sauce. By 4:30 pm my plans had changed. When I asked the kids if they would mind if I changed the meal they both answered, “Quesadillas sound so much easier.” I love this meal because it is so simple. I can…
