Sometimes bacon can just make everything better. In our family we believe in the power of bacon. I haven’t tried chocolate bacon, bacon doughnuts or bacon cupcakes yet but believe me they are on my radar. But, we LOVE bacon. We all needed some healing power from bacon after a busy week. Whole boneless pork…

I am a Mom of two that loves my family and all things Disney. I have been playing a game to see how many different meals I can make each weekday. These are our adventures in food and life.
Taco Cupcakes
As I said the other day I have been struggling with dinner ideas lately. I have my monthly menu all set up but nothing on there is inspiring me right at the moment. It has been chilly and dark for a few days here in Southwest Michigan so I am looking to curl up with…
Three Meat Pizza with Herbed Crust
There are nights I hate making dinner. I don’t want to do it and I delay it as long as possible because I don’t even want to think about it. I am even slowly teaching my kids to cook with the hope that they can take over a couple nights a week. Tonight they both…
Tofu Pad Thai
I am still learning how to cook with tofu. This is only my second attempt. I am hoping to branch out more and more with the different flavors that I can blend it into. I am thankful that my kids are up for anything. I can see my family starting to slowly embrace more meatless…
Hummus Crusted Chicken with Zucchini and Summer Squash
I needed inspiration for dinner. Supplies are low this week so I needed to use things I had on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. I was browsing through Pinterest because that is what I do daily. I saw the title of a Pin that someone had posted and I knew right away I wanted…
Ham and Cheese Pizza with Pesto Crust
I decided to take last week off to maintain my sanity. Last week was dance camp for my daughter, cello lessons for my son and getting us packed and the house cleaned for a double Feis in Milwaukee this past weekend. So, life has been crazy but I was able to keep up with cooking…
Parmesan Crab Hamburgers
So after having to pretend to be Cyber Woman today (and it really is pretend!) my computer is once again functioning. New mouse, new speakers and that pesky cord that needs to be plugged in so the keyboard actually functions is now back where it belongs. It has been a long day. But, I had…
4 Ingredient No Bake S’More Bars
This is my family’s new favorite recipe. My daughter has made them three times over the last five days. I finally had to say, “No more!” They are so simple and wonderfully tasty. For my mostly GF son I use gluten-free chocolate chips and marshmallows and substitute Schar Gluten-Free Honeygrams Graham Crackers broken up into…
Baked Chicken Wings (with 3 sauces) and Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes with Feta Cheese
I am always in need of quick, easy side dishes to go with our meals. Once the potatoes were diced and in the oven it was 35 minutes until they were ready to go on the table. It was nice that I could cook the rest of the meal and not have to fuss over…
Spicy Asian Pork Chops
This was another simple meal for us. I started cooking the rice as soon as I put the pork on to cook and everything came out at just about the same time. Start to finish from when I started cooking the meal was about 30-35 minutes. Love these quick easy meal. Verdict: This was a…
Spicy Chicken Strips with Cream Sauce
I loved the idea of this dish. Simple. That’s what I need lately. Things that I can get on the table within an hour for everything including setting the table. Prep work definitely helps too. If you are making mashed potatoes getting them peeled and into ice water can save a bit of time at…
