I love fall. Opening the windows to the cool breezes at night make for great sleeping weather. The hearty casseroles, stews, and pasta dishes are a favorite. Apple cider, pumpkins pies, and donuts abound. Bright mums, pumpkins, and cornstalks dot the houses and downtown stores. All of it just makes me so happy. Now, I…

Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apples: Revisited
This dish has been at the top of my most popular recipes for over a year now. I recently remade the recipe. I love going back and revisiting dishes from the past. My family likes the sauerkraut and apple mixture the sweet/tart tang. You can even add a splash of apple cider vinegar to the…
Bubble-Up Chicken Cassesrole
This recipe started as something I found from Pillsbury.com to use up the last of the refrigerator biscuit dough that I had bought on sale. I try to plan ahead if I buy a special ingredient or spice. I hate food waste. I am always trying to find new ways of using up those “leftovers.”…

Check In: Day 196
Week Twenty-eight: If you follow any sort of social media or news you probably get the sense that things here in the US are a bit tense. It seems like everyone everywhere is on edge. I had a friend ask I had considered prepping for my family. Not, really I mean we have plenty of…
Grilled Peach Sundaes
As the days have officially turned to fall I am sure our days of grilling are going to fewer and far between. We still are trying to keep the grilling going as long as we can. We have decided to grill our Thanksgiving turkey though as we loved the grilled one this summer. So, we…
1970s Slow Cooker Chicken and Biscuits
This took me back to being a kid in the 70s. I could almost picture my purple bike with pink sparkle handle bar streamers and a white glitter banana seat parked outside our house. Add a vest, turtleneck, and jeans and I was 6 years old again. I used canned soup for this recipe as…
Buffalo Chicken and Cheese Quesadillas
One of our go-to meals when we are in a hurry is grilled cheese. My kids love grilled cheese. When they were little they did not want quesadillas though. So, we renamed them Mexican grilled cheese and they were happy to eat them! Sometimes just a change in description will help them eat something. My…
Slow Cooker Macaroni & Cheese
I am in a strange place lately. I feel like I can’t keep up with everything and yet it is less than half of what I used to do. I think the pressure of the state of the United States (actual or just perceived from social media), a new schedule for schooling, the idea of…
Grandma’s Sloppy Joes
The temps dropped to the low 30s over the weekend. They are back in the high 60s/low 70s during the day but the evenings have that crisp fall feeling that make me look to to the homey, old-fashioned dishes. Spices filling the house with warm scents mean a perfect fall dinner to me. It is…

Check In: Day 189
Week 27: Next week is the first full week of school in person here in our little town. I am still second guessing our decision health wise but know it is the right thing for my son. It feels like a lose/lose situation. Both of my kids looked at me the other day and said,…
