Happy birthday to my big guy! He’s been a Disney kid through and through. From nose kisses for Pooh to harnessing the force in Galaxy’s Edge he is always up for a Disney adventure. For his birthday he gets his second Covid shot and one step closer to graduation, prom, and senior party. He gets…

Simple Fluffy Omelets
You know I love breakfast for dinner! Nothing is more simple than eggs. I love a good fluffy omelet and you can make endless combinations of ingredients. Greek? Feta, spinach, and maybe a touch of roasted red peppers. Italian? Tomatoes, garlic, oregano, and Italian sausage. Or the simple ham, cheese and onion that is my…
Beef Stronganoff
I am in a comfort food mood lately. With all the changes coming up in our life comfort food will be on the menu the next few weeks. This dish reminds me of being a kid back in my mother’s kitchen. I had to make it with the canned soup because that is what I…
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Casserole
Verdict: My family really likes this dish. I generally make it with leftover chicken breasts from another meal or that I cook extra when I am making chicken breasts anyway. I just cube it up and save it for a dish just like this! The Ranch over the fries is one of our favorite parts….
5 Recipes for “Snacky” Dinners
We love snacky dinners. Little bites of several dishes or dips and veggies are always fun to eat and easy to prepare ahead of time so that you can eat when you want. We sometimes plan a game night or movie night around these dinners to make them even more fun! Garlic Shrimp Dip (click…
Saturday Musings: 2
This is a year of significant birthdays in our house. I am the only one in our house who doesn’t have a birthday during this six week period. My baby boy turns 18 and my big girl turns 21 this year! The passage of time has never really bothered me until recently. I always tried…
Baked Apple Breakfast Casserole
Every Thursday is breakfast for dinner in our house. I love a flavorful breakfast casserole. It is hearty and and will keep me full the rest of the night. I forget to make these casseroles for dinner as they are supposed to rest over night and then you bake them for breakfast, right? Well, I…
Refrigerator Pasta
This sounds strange but it uses up our pieces of things before they go bad in the vegetable drawer. I always start with the same basic pasta recipe and then I try to remember to pull out the pepper, one carrot, spinach, etc… before it starts to go bad and put it on a shelf…
Tyler Florence’s Simple Chili Cheese Dogs with NO Canned Chili: Revisited
As we are preparing for a snow storm tonight, 4″-5″possibility, we are pulling in and having a nice indoor evening planned. We are pulling out the board games, hot cocoa, and cookies. Time for one last wintery night in but our minds are firmly turning to thoughts of summer. As summer is coming, hopefully quickly,…
Canadian Poutine
During the past few weeks I was able to take my daughter to a Feis (rhymes with mesh) in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Lake Geneva is a cute little resort town and we always have a great time. We ate our lunch on a breezy afternoon near the lake. It was cold but such a lovely…
Saturday Musings: 1
I have decided to change up my Saturday postings a bit. I had been doing a Checking In weekly during the past year. Then I got to the year mark and decided Covid-19 wasn’t going to be going any time soon so I needed to find another way to think about this time. I had…
