This didn’t get posted yesterday because I had food poisoning. I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t. I knew when I looked at the words someone used to search my blog and saw Barbecue Beef Cowboy Casserole and started getting sick again there was no way I was doing anything with food. We went to…

Cheesy Sloppy Joe Eggrolls
Day three without a kitchen sink. It is now glued back on but it needs to dry for 48 hours and then be sealed. I am getting really tired of not having a sink and running water in the sink. I can use my dishwasher but I don’t put pots and pans in it. So,…
Paula Deen’s Pecan Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
First off notice that this is made in a disposable aluminum pan. No, I am not taking this to an event but rather using it to feed my family. Our under the counter mounted sink decided to detach from the counter at 7:00 am the other day. So, we have no water in the kitchen…
Making My Walt Disney World Advanced Dining Reservations
So, I started first thing this morning making my Dining Reservations for our family trip to Walt Disney World. Now, we are not going on vacation for 180 days but I wanted to get a jump-start because some of the places we want to dine at will be entirely booked by the time we get…
Slow Cooker Cheddar, Ale & Bratwurst Soup
I just read the title of this recipe and knew I had to try it. Slow cooker, cheese, ale and bratwurst – all the wonderful things of life. That this dish is made in a slow cooker just makes me so happy! I found the original recipe for Slow Cooker Cheddar Ale and Bratwurst Soup…
Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche
I love weekends! Sleeping in, lazy days spent with the family and late dinners happen most weekends. I LOVE bacon. But, I am not a fan of cooking it first thing in the morning. The smell makes me feel nauseated. My children will tell you they very rarely get bacon for breakfast. I don’t mind…
Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Pork Roast
Yes, another slow cooker day for me. I am so glad I did this too. Today was a struggle with school day for both of my children. So, I spent most of the day on the phone, e-mailing and trouble shooting computer issues. By the time 4:00 pm rolled around and we needed to leave…
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Someone was mentioning to me the other day that they were looking at recipes but most of the recipes they looked at didn’t have ingredients they had on hand, especially spices. Having a basic spice cupboard is a good idea if you are looking to cook more at home. No, you do not need to…
Chicken with Parmesan Sauce
This is not a good picture of this meal. My camera batteries were running low and the flash was not working. But, I did the best I could so you could get an idea of the dish. Last night was a dance night for us. That means dinner need to be on the table shortly…
Vegetable Soup with Ground Beef
I think it is now heading into winter here in Southwest Michigan. I woke up the other morning to 36 degree temperatures. Yes, 36 degrees. I am not ready for this. Our summer was short on beach time because of cooler weather and now my fall is getting cut to start winter already? No. But,…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops
This has been an amazing weekend. A Feis in Muskegon, Michigan and a day of relaxation with a bit of cider tasting thrown in. We saw a full rainbow on the way to Muskegon. It was amazing. The kids were saying how long it has been since they had seen one so full and bright. …
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings – Response to “Is This the End of the Family Dinner?”
The other day there was a news story about how the stress of cooking “home-cooked” meals may outweigh their benefits. Headlines asked, “Is this the End of the Family Dinner?” In the study the women were comparing themselves to their ideal of what a home-cooked meal should be according to magazines, nutritionists and societal norms. …
