This is normally how I make Spaghetti Pie. I tried the sour cream and cream cheese version that I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago (recipe here) but I prefer this Spaghetti Pie. For my family it was a toss-up. They liked them both for different reasons. My son hates ricotta cheese so I…

Parmesan Pasta Salad
We are nearing the end of our “No Buy July” month and my cupboards are getting pretty bare. I am having to become more and more creative in my meals. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing from Grumpy’s Honeybunch. The recipe sounded delicious but I did not have…
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
Pork has been incredibly cheap at the grocery stores lately so my family has been eating plenty of boneless pork chops, pork roasts, pork loins…. You name it we have eaten it. I am trying a different recipe each and every time we cook it. I had this huge roast in my freezer and wanted…
Easy Pad Thai
This was a recipe my son and I made together. He needed to make a recipe from a cookbook for his summer library reading program. We looked over my cookbook collection (yes, I really have a BIG collection) and he chose a Pad Thai recipe from Pinterest. Now, he mostly chose this because it sounded…
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
I have an ice cream family. They love ice cream. They would eat ice cream every day, twice a day if I let them. I am however not a fan of ice cream. Just not something I love like the rest of my family. I would prefer a great dish of mashed potatoes or a…
Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I realized recently that my kids are getting spoiled by my cooking. We went to a Renaissance Fair over the weekend and because my daughter was one of the “entertainers” we got a free lunch. It was very simple meal and meant to feed a large group of people. It was white bread sandwiches with…
Manwhich Casserole
So during the school year we travel an hour, each way, to dance classes 3 days a week. That means after school we immediately get in a car and head out. Even now during the summer we are still heading out 2 days a week. So, I need meals that are quick, easy and can…
Spaghetti Pie
My family loves Spaghetti Pie but this is not the normal recipe we use. Being on a strict budget after vacation at the beginning of the month I did not have any ricotta cheese in the house and trying to finish out my “No Buy July” (except for fresh fruits and vegetables) I had to…
Chicken Francese – Rachel Ray
We had chicken thawing in the fridge and not very much else on the cupboard shelves. I started searching for recipes and found in Every Day with Rachel Ray a recipe for Chicken or Fish Francese-wiches. Well, I did not have bread, arugula, paprika, lemons or tomatoes but being adventurous as I am decided to…
Blueberry Pancakes – Trisha Yearwood’s Recipe
We love breakfast for dinner. I like making breakfast for dinner because it is generally a quick easy meal. With the heat index on the rise a short time having the stove on makes me much happier the rest of the evening. We are still living on limited resources this month so I had sour…
Turkish Meat Pie
My family LOVES food with lots of flavor and trying new and interesting things. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest, Turskish Meat Pies at Jocooks.com, I knew they would love it. My son especially loves trying “real” ethnic cuisine. Of course we are on a strict budget this month. You know those months where…
Marinated Cucumbers and Onions
It has been hot here. I know hot is a relative term but 85-95 degrees with 85%+ humidity makes us not very hungry at all. We have gone to the beach 7 of the last 8 days to escape the heat a bit. This is one of our favorite easy summer side dishes. It is…
