Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches

This recipe is one I have had sitting in my file box for a while.  It is SUPER simple and needs very few ingredients.  Once you add the Caesar dressing to the chicken dinner can be on the table within 30 minutes. Verdict: Both kids gobbled this meal up.  We were going out to dinner…

Chicken with Rosemary Sauce

So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm.  I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans.  I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal.  It was really dark by the time we…

Pesto Meatball Sandwiches

We spent the weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for two Feises.  Milwaukee has become our go to city, even more than Chicago.  It is a three and a half hour drive, more with all the construction, but we still love it and are having a great time exploring different areas each time we go. We discovered…

General Tso’s Tofu

Growing up my mother made 4 dinners every night until I left for college.  There were very few nights that we actually all sat at a table and ate the same meal.  Most of my recollections are us each eating something different while sitting in front of a television.  A very ’70s way of family…

Roasted Mediterranean Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables

As we were discussing some of our favorite meals that I have made over the last few year everyone agreed that their favorites were the Asian, Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dishes.  We all really like the savory flavors of the dishes. If I open my cupboard right now I know I would find no less…

Courtney Thorne-Smith’s Spicy Beef

The past few days have been crazy.  For the first time in ages I actually had someone stop over unexpectedly and was embarrassed as I was making dinner that just about half of the  pans in my house still needed to be hand washed and the Sunday paper was still strewn across the living room. …

Guinness Beer Battered Fish and Salt Potatoes

I will admit that this recipe took a bit more time than most of my other dinner dishes.  I bought a package Gorton’s Fish Fillets a few weeks ago when they were on sale thinking I could use them for a quick dinner one night.  What was I thinking?  The minute I made the suggestion…

Chicken Divan

I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…

Ham Tetrazzini

Last night was amazing because we were home for an entire evening.  I mean we did have to go out and deliver our daughter to the Murder Mystery Night at the local library and pick her up.  Stop and get gas for the van and have a few minutes to chat with friends waiting for…

Cuban Paninnis

So, I didn’t post yesterday.  After a horrible round of a Summer stomach bug I am finally back to feeling human again.  I really did not even get out of bed until 4:00 pm yesterday except to get sick and take my son to see his new cello teacher.  Even then, I came back home…

Fourth of July Week – Grilling and Salads

I decided rather suddenly to take last week off from blogging and our dinners.  We had company for the first part of the week and I was a bit fearful of feeding him some of my first attempt dishes so I decided to stick with the tried and true.  Then it was my birthday and…
