There are days when you just crave the foods of your childhood. I think because the weather has turned back to chilly (it is barely breaking 60 degrees) and gray, overcast, or rain I want those comfort foods. Also, our lives seem to be in a whirlwind of activity with the end of school in…

Sweet Potato Corned Beef Hash
We love Corned Beef. I buy 4 or 5 during March when they are on sale and keep them in the freezer to pull out at different times to make all kinds of delicious dishes the rest of the year. The other night we pulled out one of the brisket and cooked it in the slow…
Slow Cooker Sweet and Sour Meatballs with Rice
This is a remake version of a recipe I used to make years ago. I lost the recipe about 10 years ago and forgot all about it. The other day we started talking about different dishes I haven’t made in a long time and this was mentioned so I decided to try to recreate it….
Slow Cooker Tacos with Easy Pickled Onions (for a Family or a Crowd!)
Well, we had one dinner together and we are back to the usual busyness for a bit longer. End of school is coming!!! I am so happy. Though we have a super busy summer planned it will be different from the every day school things that are scheduled by someone other than me. I decided…
Garlic Meatloaf with Garlic Butter Sauce
My family loves garlic. This is the perfect meatloaf and mashed potatoes for us. Minced garlic in the meatloaf, roasted garlic in the sauce over the top of the meatloaf and mashed potatoes? Perfect! Don’t have time to make the meatloaf just before dinner? Form the meatloaf the evening before or morning that you want…
Beefy Burrito Casserole
Simple is the keyword right now. My family loves burritos but it is just not something I think of making on a regular basis. I don’t know why because they are so easy to make. Add some lettuce, tomatoes, onions, sour cream and guacamole and I feel like I don’t even need to add a…

Slow Cooker Cheeseburger Chowder
Things are crazy in our house right now. My meal planning has gone down hill but I am getting it back together. Generally I have a month plan to follow with a few extra dishes on the side for nights I really don’t want to cook or something comes up that I just need that…
Bacon Balsamic Onion Jam
I have an onion hating daughter who when I told her she would love this was adamant that she would NOT like this and didn’t know why I was making this. I kept telling her she would. Needless to say when we had dinner tonight she was asking for more. Her brother looked at her…
Bratwurst and Beer Cheese Chowder
As I plan my menus for the month I try to take into consideration what we have going each day and what ingredients I will have leftover to make into other dishes. Or I also look at when I have extra time the day before to do prep for the next day’s meals when possible….
Corned Beef Potatoes Au Gratin
So I looked up what Au Gratin meant when I was making this dish. Sprinkled with bread crumbs, grated cheese, eggs and or butter. So, I think this dish kind of qualifies as most of that. It has cheese and butter. We will just go with it. I usually try to cook large pieces of…
