So after having to pretend to be Cyber Woman today (and it really is pretend!) my computer is once again functioning. New mouse, new speakers and that pesky cord that needs to be plugged in so the keyboard actually functions is now back where it belongs. It has been a long day. But, I had…

4 Ingredient No Bake S’More Bars
This is my family’s new favorite recipe. My daughter has made them three times over the last five days. I finally had to say, “No more!” They are so simple and wonderfully tasty. For my mostly GF son I use gluten-free chocolate chips and marshmallows and substitute Schar Gluten-Free Honeygrams Graham Crackers broken up into…
Baked Chicken Wings (with 3 sauces) and Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes with Feta Cheese
I am always in need of quick, easy side dishes to go with our meals. Once the potatoes were diced and in the oven it was 35 minutes until they were ready to go on the table. It was nice that I could cook the rest of the meal and not have to fuss over…
Spicy Asian Pork Chops
This was another simple meal for us. I started cooking the rice as soon as I put the pork on to cook and everything came out at just about the same time. Start to finish from when I started cooking the meal was about 30-35 minutes. Love these quick easy meal. Verdict: This was a…
Spicy Chicken Strips with Cream Sauce
I loved the idea of this dish. Simple. That’s what I need lately. Things that I can get on the table within an hour for everything including setting the table. Prep work definitely helps too. If you are making mashed potatoes getting them peeled and into ice water can save a bit of time at…
Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches
This recipe is one I have had sitting in my file box for a while. It is SUPER simple and needs very few ingredients. Once you add the Caesar dressing to the chicken dinner can be on the table within 30 minutes. Verdict: Both kids gobbled this meal up. We were going out to dinner…
Chicken with Rosemary Sauce
So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm. I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans. I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal. It was really dark by the time we…
Pesto Meatball Sandwiches
We spent the weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for two Feises. Milwaukee has become our go to city, even more than Chicago. It is a three and a half hour drive, more with all the construction, but we still love it and are having a great time exploring different areas each time we go. We discovered…
General Tso’s Tofu
Growing up my mother made 4 dinners every night until I left for college. There were very few nights that we actually all sat at a table and ate the same meal. Most of my recollections are us each eating something different while sitting in front of a television. A very ’70s way of family…
Roasted Mediterranean Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables
As we were discussing some of our favorite meals that I have made over the last few year everyone agreed that their favorites were the Asian, Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dishes. We all really like the savory flavors of the dishes. If I open my cupboard right now I know I would find no less…
Courtney Thorne-Smith’s Spicy Beef
The past few days have been crazy. For the first time in ages I actually had someone stop over unexpectedly and was embarrassed as I was making dinner that just about half of the pans in my house still needed to be hand washed and the Sunday paper was still strewn across the living room. …
