With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…

Soba Noodles with Spicy Ground Beef Sauce
Last night’s dinner was another – Oh no! I need to find something quick meal. What I thought was Italian sausage was really ground beef. A quick look through Pinterest, because that is what we all do when we need something quick, and I found Szechuan Noodles with Spicy Beef Sauce from Food.com. I did…
Slow Cooker Easy Barbecue Pork Ribs
We spent the weekend doing family stuff. My daughter looked at me and asked, “Is Saturday Family Day now?” I LOVED that! For so long Saturday has been our catch-up day. All the laundry, cleaning or shopping that we didn’t get done during the week was always left for Saturday. Now, we have time to…
Steak with Butter and Garlic Sauce
This has been a pork month. When I grocery shopped the first of the month every store we grocery shop in had pork on sale. We have had pork roasts, pork chops, pork ribs and ground pork. The other thing that was on sale was smoked sausages. We are tired of pork and sausages. I…
Pizza Hot Dogs
We just returned home from a week vacation back to New York. Though it was a fun time it was BUSY! We visited friends and laughed until our faces ached and our sides hurt. The kids danced in a Feis. We went to a 96th birthday dinner for my mother-in-law. Had an orthodontist appointment for…
One of Those Days Dinner
Yes, we all have them. We tend to feel overly guilty about them too. Those dinners we view as “bad” or “unhealthy.” I stopped at the grocery store yesterday on my way to pick up the kids for dance and tried to find them something quick and easy they could eat in the car for…
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
I am still on the comfort food kick. I think I have had more types of mashed potatoes over the last two weeks than I can ever remember. I had hamburger thawing and as my children say, “Mom, can’t just make plain hamburgers.” So, off in search of a recipe I went. I found this…
Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Caramel Apple Pork Chops
I love fall. It is my favorite season by far. I love sleeping in the crisp cool air. The smell of cinnamon and apples. Right now apples are CHEAP and delicious. The past few weeks apples have been holding at $.58 a pound here. So, I have been buying them several times a week. My…
Smoked Sausage with Pasta
I think I am now past all the computer glitches and malfunctions. It has been a maddening 2 weeks trying to get it all turned around. Just when you think you have it all something else “pops-up.” Ugh! So I am still on the comfort food theme for dinners. Tax season has 5 days…
Old-Fashioned Meatloaf
I love meatloaf. If I want to make a comfort dinner for myself it is usually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. As the weather has been turning a bit cooler during the day I more than ever want real homey comfort food. Scouring Pinterest I saw this recipe for The Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Meatloaf. I…
Pork Lo Mein
We were headed home on Sunday night from a long day of playing with nothing planned for dinner and two very hungry kids. I knew I needed to get dinner on the table quick with whatever I had in the refrigerator. We thought of spaghetti and sauce, meatball sandwiches and cans of soup. Yes, we…
