Not a great picture but this was a yummy pizza. This pizza was created because we had chicken to use up and I am always trying to find new ways to make the dishes we love in new ways. One of my favorite things is to take a meal we love and turn it into…

Copy-Cat KFC Bowls
We were having a bad day and I was going to take my son over to KFC to pick up lunch. The kids had a half day for mid-terms and wanted a hearty lunch. I decided instead to stop at the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for the bowls that he likes so…
Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
Temperatures for Wednesday are predicted to be -10 to -15 without windchill and about -40 with windchill warming soup and bread sound really good to me. This is one of our favorite soups. You can add bits and pieces of whatever you have left in your vegetable drawer – diced pepper, sliced carrots, or celery….
Chicken and Biscuits
Still waiting for this cold snap to end? We are. Hopefully by the end of February. Well, we live in the Midwest it is the way it supposed to be in the winter. I just miss taking our vacation to somewhere warm during winter break because the school schedule no longer has a winter break….
KonMari Your Pantry
I am in love with Marie Kondo. If you may have seen her Netflix show, read her books, or even heard your friends talking about her on Facebook. I was aware of her about a year ago but really didn’t understand the concepts until I saw the Netflix series. Some people are saying she says…
Christmas Treats Week 4: Chocolate Chip Pie
You may have noticed I changed my weekly Christmas Cookie day to Christmas Treats. Since I really wasn’t making many cookies right now I decided Christmas Treats was a much better name. We are planning on doing lots of baking in the next week or so. As I watched the weather forecast tonight and the…
Middle Eastern Chicken Soup
We had a bit of an ice storm yesterday afternoon. I went to my car about 2 pm and it was enclosed in a nice coating of ice and the sidewalks and roads were smooth ice. So, I cancelled both of my meetings and we all had a nice night in. I’m so glad my…
Joy of Cooking Pancakes
Some nights dinner needs to be easy and be comforting. We are getting ready for some icy, rain, sleet combination tonight. Getting ready means that we pull everyone home and cancel all plans. We have a fire in the fireplace and finding all the candles in the house, just in case. We stopped at the…
Sloppy Joe Totchos
January is usually a tough month financially in our house as I am sure it is in houses across the country. I try to spend little to no money on groceries as we pay off December bills and do a bit of traveling for my daughter to dance. We had a great weekend in…
Christmas Cookies Week 3:Baked Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts
With the recent snow storms and cold temperatures we are spending quite a bit of time inside. That means lots of time for baking and cleaning! Anyone else obsessed with Marie Kondo? Yes, I binge watched the Netflix series and wasn’t even through the first episode before I was upstairs refolding all my clothes and…
Chocolate Waffles
I have decided chocolate waffles are a hard item to photograph. I tried to grab a picture while the girls were getting their waffles from the waffle bar but the light was off so they kind of look whole grain rather than chocolate. I decided to do Buttermilk Waffles (click for link to recipe) and…
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
Some nights dinner just seems to work and other nights it seems a chore. This was one of those nights that it actually came together quite nicely! It all worked out that the chicken I had out for dinner was still slightly frozen so that we could cube it easily. I hate cutting raw chicken…
