Happy Halloween! Hope your ghosts and goblins treat you well this year and you have lots of candy leftover! King Ranch Chicken is a casserole with a slight “kick” to it. You know I love to take a dish and make it into something new so I thought this would make a great soup. Slightly…

Cheesy Macaroni and Beef Skillet
I love the meals where you cook everything in one pan. The beef and pasta cook all together so the pasta is infused with tons of flavor from the spices and beef stock. I am not a huge pasta fan but when it is cooked like this I love it! Verdict: You need to…
Hamburger Stroganoff Pizza
Halloween came very early to our house this year. I needed to have both kids ready for Halloween about a week early. My son had a Halloween concert at the end of the week. He was Buddy, the elf, from the movie Elf. Then my daughter had a Halloween Feis (rhymes with mesh, and Irish…
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Verde Casserole
As we head into the end of the month everything feels like it is just on the edge of spinning out of control. I am busy. The kids are busy. I feel like one more thing is going to put me over the edge. But, I am still trying to make dinner as many nights…
Ground Beef and Rice Skillet Dinner
The other day we saw our first snow flakes fly. Parts of the area were without power for more than 24 hours as the storm blew through. We fortunately had power and were able to offer up our home for charging phones, showers, and a place to get and stay warm. I am grateful we…
Basic Simple Meatloaf
I don’t know why I don’t serve meatloaf more often. It is super simple to make – mix everything in a bowl and pat it into a loaf. You can make the loaves ahead of time and store in the refrigerator or freeze them until you are ready to bake it. An hour or so…
Grammie’s Chicken and Rice Casserole
Casseroles became popular in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Women were looking for easier ways to get dinner on the table for their family each night and mixing all the ingredients together at once to bake was an easy way to accomplish this. A casserole is any mixture that is baked and…
Country Sweet Chicken and Pasta
When I was back home in Rochester, NY for the conference two weeks ago I had a grocery list of items to bring back to my family. This was one of them. Country Sweet Sauce is a Rochester item. You put it over chicken wings, chicken, pasta, whatever you want. It reminds me almost of…
Where Have I Been?
It has been about a week since I have even opened my blog. It has been crazy. I decided two weeks ago to not only take my tax class for my job two days a week (one hour drive each way) but that I wanted to become a travel agent. Crazy, I know. So, now…
Buffalo Chicken Nachos
This past weekend I made a large slow cooker batch of Buffalo Chicken (chicken breasts, hot sauce, butter, and garlic). I used 4-5 pounds of chicken breast so that I could make several meals out of one big pot of Buffalo Chicken. One simple meal was Buffalo Chicken over egg noodles with a sprinkle of…
Lebanese Rice – Hashweh
I don’t know about where you are but the temperatures have been up and down here recently. Some days it is in the 80s and the next in the 50s. I have been so busy I haven’t even had enough time to make it down to the beach in the past few weeks. I finally…
Easy Chicken Parmesan
Trying to get back into real life after being away for a week is tough. There are so many emails, phone calls, and things to catch up on for the schools, and kids. I love the peaceful rejuvenated feeling I have when I am away. Now I need to work on keeping it while I…
