Ever wonder when following a recipe why you have to use twice as much (or more of a spice) than what the recipe calls for? Is it a bad recipe? You must like extra spice, right? I just went through all my spice jars to get rid of all the ones that are old. Yes,…

Caramel Pecan Monkey Bread
I can’t even turn on the news anymore. I am limiting my time on Facebook. I love social media but it is too dark and depressing lately. The little boy in Walt Disney World, which is my favorite place in the world, killed by an alligator. The 49 people killed and 53 injured in the…

Slow Cooker Chicken Tostadas
Last night was my son’s last cello recital for the school year. All the students did a great job. It was a short program so we were home by 8:00 pm. During the summer we eat even later than normal. The sun doesn’t set until about 9:30 pm so we tend to be out and…
Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Bake
Our local OutCenter flag draped with a black ribbon says it all. The 90 degree days are gone for a while so we are back in comfort food mode again. With temperatures hovering in the low 60s and just a general sadness that seems to be in the air from the events of this past…

Baked Chili Cheese Dogs
I had a meeting last night so I needed a meal that could be put together quickly and easily once I got home. Once again I looked to my slow cooker. Most of the meal could be made ahead of time and just assembled when I got home or it was so easy I could…
German Style Cabbage Rolls
This is a recipe handed down from generation to generation in my family. I have changed it for my family but it is still almost the exact same recipe my great-grandmother used. Do you have a dish like this in your family? This is the dish we make for holidays in our house. It is…
Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole (No Canned Soup Recipe)
Last night was definitely a comfort food night. Even though summer is just a few weeks away the temperatures have dropped just a bit and there was a slight breeze. It was still nice out but it almost had a fall feel to the day. This was the first night we were all home together…
Cheesy Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes
This past weekend my partner and I had to go to two different places for the weekend. My daughter and I headed to a Feis (Irish dance competition) in Detroit, MI while my partner and son headed to Rochester, NY for a family baby shower. Both weekends were crazy so meals are going to be…
