Slow Cooker Fish Chowder
We need things that are quick, easy and will hold up to staying warm for an extended period of time on dance class nights. The first shift of meals may be anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30 pm and the last at 9:00 pm. Simple meals in the slow cooker are what I have found work…
Slow Cooker Sauerbraten with Ginger Snap Gravy
Pulling out one of our favorite recipes for the weekend. The Ginger Snap Gravy was amazing! My parents just left after spending a month with us in Michigan.

The Perfect Gift – Happy Valentine’s Day!
, This was my Valentine’s Day gift. No, not this year, but a recreation from our first Valentine’s Day together. We had only been dating for about a month and a half when Valentine’s Day rolled around. I didn’t want to celebrate Valentine’s Day and made that very clear. I wasn’t sure what I…
Buffalo Beef Stuffed Garlic Bread

Easy Oven Cheeseburgers – Great for a Crowd !

Irish Corned Beef Tacos with Guinness Sauce
Another of our most favorite dinners. This is a super easy delicious use for leftover corned beef! I am a bit late today in posting but my son had his 5th Grade Walk-Away Ceremony today.

We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop.
