Individual Barbecue Cheddar Meat Loaves
Though the temperature on our vacation in Florida left me feeling limp and tired all the time the cold here is not helping anything either. It has warmed up a bit lately but the dampness is still leaving me with that feeling of deep inside my bones cold no matter what the thermometer says. So,…
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
I realized as I looked through my Pinterest account for dinner inspirations that most of my pins lately have been Chinese/Asian influenced dishes. I think because they are usually fairly simple to prepare and I can add vegetables of my choosing as a side I am drawn to them. This Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken…
Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs
So, after our last check ups we are trying to change our diets a bit. We are not making any big changes but trying to substitute brown rice, vegetables and sweet potatoes for white rice, pasta and potatoes two to three days a week. Not a huge change but this was one of the first…
Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
I love, love, love, love my slow cooker. I love that I can put the ingredients in the crock in the morning and by dinner time I have this delicious dish. Everyone came in the house this evening and commented on how wonderful dinner smelled. If you are not using your slow cooker at least…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Loaded Tater Tots
Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…

Sausage Hash Casserole
Two more nights until vacation. Two more meals to try to create from my quickly dwindling pantry and refrigerator supplies. We are surprising our son with the vacation so every time he asks, “Why don’t you just go to the store and get x or y?” I have to tell him that it’s not pay…
Meatloaf Parmesan
We are leaving in just a few days for a two-week vacation! I can’t wait. I have been following the temperatures in Orlando, Florida and although they have been colder than normal lately next week is predicted to be highs of 70-80. That is almost 100 degrees warmer than it is here right now. I…

I have been writing this blog for two years now an wasn’t even sure people understood what I was trying to do for my family. This is an amazing way for bloggers to show support and appreciation for…
Ranch Baked Boneless Pork Chops
Friday was another Snow Day. It wasn’t so much for the snow but the negative wind chills that had them closing schools. When it starts to get down to -20 I want warm comfort food. I had a package of boneless pork steaks in my refrigerator. I started searching the web for a recipe that…
