Now I very rarely have leftover corned beef because my family loves it so much. So, I pick up 3 to 5 extra to have on hand over the next few months just make some of these dishes such as the Irish Corned Beef Tacos with Guinness Sauce. Irish Corned Beef Tacos with Guinness Sauce…

Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Chowder
Things are crazy in our house right now. My meal planning has gone down hill but I am getting it back together. Generally I have a month plan to follow with a few extra dishes on the side for nights I really don’t want to cook or something comes up that I just need that…
Bacon Balsamic Onion Jam
I have an onion hating daughter who when I told her she would love this was adamant that she would NOT like this and didn’t know why I was making this. I kept telling her she would. Needless to say when we had dinner tonight she was asking for more. Her brother looked at her…
Hotels and Housekeeping
We stay at hotels quite often. Usually, at least two or three times a month. But, lately I have been noticing a trend that I do not like. Housekeeping. This is one of the most important jobs in a hotel. If your rooms aren’t clean you will begin to develop a reputation and no one…
Celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Begins!
So, I am just beginning my YouTube channel. Here are the first videos I have added. They are all Irish dance videos right now but I plan on using the channel as a compliment to my blog. Maybe showing a recipe every so often or a certain way I cook something that may not always…
Skillet Italian Sausage and Pasta
We are starting the busiest part of our month. From now until next Sunday we will be in full St. Patrick’s Day mode. Lots of dancing, friends, and laughter for the next week. By next Sunday everyone will be exhausted and looking forward to doing it all over again next year! I am in the…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu (with NO Canned Soup)
I first made Slow Cooker Chicken Cordon Bleu in 2012. The Crockpot Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole (click for link to original recipe) was one of my early posts and I was just starting to try to cook without canned soups. My early attempts were good but my later attempts have greatly improved. There is absolutely…
My Daughter’s New Dance Blog
Over the Weekend I competed at the Lavin-Cassidy feis on both Friday and Saturday, and I have to say this might be one of the better competitions I have been to so far. Many of my likes and dislikes will be similar for both days because it was pretty much the same feis, but I…
One Pan Roasted Lemon Potatoes and Asparagus with Salmon
You know I love one pan meals. Less pots and pans means less clean up! What I like even more is not having to cook it too. I was away for the day with my daughter while she danced. When we got home my partner had dinner ready for us. As she was looking around…
St. Patrick’s Day Bar Cookies
My children are slightly older (13 and 16 years-old) but they still love to celebrate all the holidays. No holiday can go by without decorations, special food, or talk about our past celebrations. I love these cookies. They are so very easy to make and are so fun. You can change them with the holidays by…
Give Back Night Pizza
Our community in Southwest Michigan has Give Back Nights at some restaurants where a portion of the sales (usually 10-20%) of the sales for the day are donated to a local not-for-profit. We don’t go out to eat for many of these because they are usually held on nights that we are away or near…
Lake Geneva, WI and Questions about Feiseanna (Feis)
Sunday is my family day. The day I talk about my family or our life. The past few days we have been in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin for the Lavin-Cassidy Feis on Friday and Saturday. This was the first time we have been to Lake Geneva. We usually don’t go to this feis because it is…
