If you haven’t visited my blog in a while you should! I am coming up on my 4 year anniversary of writing this blog (though I really don’t count the first year and a half). I decided it was time to shake things up a bit with a new design, larger font and hopefully easier…

A House Divided – Tale of Two Dips
I made these dips the other night as part of a “snacky” dinner in our house. Every once in a while we have veggies, crackers, cheese and a couple dips while we are having a movie night or playing a game together. We were playing “Apples to Apples” the Disney set while having our snacky…
Gigi’s Cupcakes
My daughter and I LOVE cupcakes. When we lived in Rochester, New York, she and I would take study breaks from homeschooling and head to Sugar Mountain Bakery in Brighton to pick up a cupcake, or two. It was always such a fun treat or us. Once we moved to Michigan we could never find…
Slow Cooker Potato and Ham Chowder
So, we had Ham the other night with our Sweet Potato and White Potato Gratin (click for link to recipe). I had plenty of leftovers as ham was on sale before Christmas and I made sure to pick up a 15 lb. spiral cut one on sale. When I make my menus I try to plan nights…

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I hit my 500th follower yesterday! It took 2 1/2 years for me to get to 300 followers (I really don’t count my first year of blogging) and only 3-4 more months to get to 500. Thanks to HarsH ReaLiTy and Dream Big, Dream Often (click for links to these blogs)…
Slow Cooker Simple Chicken and Dumplings (with Homemade Dumplings!)
If you have paid any attention to my blog lately you will have noticed that I have served chicken several times over the last few weeks. Chicken breasts are fairly inexpensive right now so I am buying 30-40 pounds a month. That is quite a bit of chicken for us to eat for dinners. I…
Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana
So, how are those New Year resolutions coming along? Despite the cold, dark days recently I am keeping to my word to let JOY lead me this year. Despite the weather and the pain I have been in due to severe arthritis I am trying to make the most of my days. I am doing…
Shwarma Burgers with Garlic Sauce
Lately I have been searching for new ideas and recipes online from some other smaller bloggers. I love reading people ideas and cultural traditions surrounding food. I have found some great bloggers on WordPress.com who are also become great online encouragers and friends. This recipe comes from Cooking for the Time Challenged – Schwarma Spice…
Kung Pao Chicken
I had a bit of extra time last night so I decided to make Kung Pao Chicken. I stopped at the store on the way home and picked up green peppers, red peppers, green onions, soy sauce and peanuts. I also picked up a few extra fresh ingredients for our next couple meals. But, I…
Chicken with Peanut Sauce
Third time will be the charm today, right? I have lost this post two times already and my revert to saved is not working to restore what I have saved. UGH! But, here we go, again…. We are back to the busy, busy school schedule just like everyone else. The one thing I am grateful…
