It’s All About Disney World For Me

I recently wrote about my knee and back troubles with arthritis and going to Physical Therapy so I can walk a normal distance again without collapsing in pain. I realized today that I need to think of this as I am in training for Disney World. On the days I am not wanting to go…

Meatball Subs

I am in a comfort food mode if you can’t see it by looking at my last few posts.  I seek out the creamy, savory, flavorful meals I remember from being a kid or that make me feel warm and good inside.  I know food can’t solve everything but right now, it is okay. Sometimes…

Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

The first day back to school after vacation is always tough. We never sleep well and that first day back to work and school is spent in  a kind of haze. My daughter asked me if I heard her brother singing Lion King Jr. songs at 3 am. His auditions are this week and he is so…

Barbecue Chicken Pasta Skillet

Well, Spring break is finally over. It was definitely a weird week weather wise. All week we had snow on and off and temperatures hovering in the 30s. Saturday on a trip to Grand Rapids we actually drove through a white-out. April 9th and I am driving in a white-out. Thankfully, we made it there…

Cheesy Lasagna

This is definitely a weekend dish. I don’t make lasagna very often but when I do this is the general recipe I follow. My favorite part of this lasagna is the Bechamel Sauce.  Here is how I put my lasagna together.  Based in part on a recipe from Bobby Flay for Lasagna which came from…

Slow Cooker German Style Potatoes and Smoked Sausage

It is getting tougher to make different meals each night. This meal was because I needed a slow cooker meal for the kids while we were all going off in different directions. My daughter loves vinegar. Any kind of vinegar. I think she would just drink a bottle of it if we let her. So,…

Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pork Chops

It is Spring Break here and we are trying to make the most of it. Lots of Spring cleaning going on even though it feels like February instead of April. I want to get all the windows open but not quite time yet. So, we are washing walls, baseboards and cleaning out all the cupboards…

Creamy Firecracker Chicken Pasta

We headed out to see Zootopia this weekend. What a great movie! All four of us laughed and thought it was a perfectly timed movie to address many of the “Us vs. Them” ideas that seem so prevalent in society today.  I actually teared up in the end when Judy Hopps (the bunny main character)…

Keurig Unboxing and Review

When the weather looks like this over the weekend I am looking to bake, cook and drinking coffee and hot cocoa to stay warm. Is this really April? **I received these products free from @Influenster and Keurig in exchange for my honest review of the products. All thoughts and opinions are my own. So, am…

Italian Sausage Stuffed Peppers

When you need dinner on the table quickly having frozen dinners in your freezer can really help make the dinner process go much smoother.  Casseroles, stuffed peppers, soups and lasagnas freeze very well.  Make a double batch of dinners either on a weekend or when you have extra time to make dinner one evening and…
