The weekends tend to be my baking day. Because we have a bit more time and don’t have the pressure of getting everyone up and going it is easier to take the time to bake a sweet treat to add to our brunch. This dish is super easy and sweet so it fills those boxes…

Simple Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
We are a breakfast for dinner family. At least once a week, usually Wednesday or Thursday because they seem to be the toughest day of the week, we have some sort of breakfast/brunch meal. I love eggy casseroles with all sorts of toppings mixed in because they can be made ahead of time and rest…
Simple Chicken Pad Thai
About once every three months we order Pad Thai out. We love it. And like most dishes we order out we stop and think why don’t we make this more often because we can make it just as good or better and have it more often. Pad Thai is fairly easy to make but just…
Loaded Potato Skins
If you follow me at all you can probably tell that my mind is on football and appetizers. Yes, my Buffalo Bills lost the other day but it was a great run! Cannot be unhappy with how far they went this year. We are in an appetizer for dinner phase right now at our house….
Asian Chicken Lettuce Cups
Several times over the past few years we have ordered Asian Lettuce Cups while out to eat as an appetizer. Every time we think we should make these at home. They are fairly simple to make and we made them back in 2017 based off a recipe on Food. com (click for link to original…
More Super Bowl Sunday Recipes
Today we will see if our beloved Buffalo Bills make it to the Super Bowl. I am just amazed they have made it this far! Twenty-five years ago was the last time they made the playoffs. To be a Buffalo Bills fan is to be a true fan of the sport and the team. It…
Check In: Day 315
Week 45: So how is everyone doing on their intentions for 2021? Mine have been up and down but with the sun shining the last two days and it being almost 40 degrees in Michigan? I am pushing forward. Fortitude. It is easy to push ahead when the days are sunny and the temperatures feel…
Ooey Gooey Simple Brownies
Some days you just want something sweet. We had some ice cream but it was vanilla. Plain vanilla ice cream was not going to do. We had all of the ingredients in the pantry for this. This is a yummy hot brownie (remember I love making new brownie mixes). It is drippy and sweet. Add…
Garlic Butter Salmon
I took yesterday off to regroup and spend the day watching the inauguration and the surrounding news programs and fetes. I don’t expect much to change but I am hoping for calm for a few days. With all the “classic” dishes the last few days, Classic Style Meatballs (click for link to recipe) and Classic…
Classic Beef Stroganoff
I have been making quite a few “classic” recipes lately. Comfort food and familiarity seems to be what my family is craving. I bought a few roasts that I cut into steaks. I decided to use them over a couple of days in different dishes so that I wouldn’t have to freeze them. I love…
Classic Style Meatballs
The other day I let my daughter decide which she wanted to do. Make dinner or clean. She chose dinner once she heard my suggestion of homemade meatballs. She hates mixing and cooking meat – I think she will be more vegetarian once she is on her own. But, she thought meatballs sounded really good….
