We are getting back into the warmer days slowly. On top of all the school and community events my children have we are wanting to spend more time outside. That means dinner is getting later and later. I love that this meal took less than 30 minutes to have on the table and I made…

Cheesy Chili Beef Mac
The hour time change is kicking my butt. But, the good thing is that the raising temperatures and sunshine the last two days have definitely brightened my outlook on life. I truly believe I have a touch of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) every year. No, it is not a serious depression for me but I…
Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Vegetables
This month is crazy busy in our house. All of the school teams, clubs and performing groups are cramming everything into March and early April to avoid Spring Break and preparing for finals. We only have two children yet we have Science O practices and regional, school orchestra and youth orchestra program, music lessons and…
Mexican Irish Nachos
Friday was insane so I did not get to a post about Thursday night’s dinner. My teenage daughter had a #DisneySide @homecelebration. It was lots of fun. The girls had a half-day of school so I picked them up and brought them to the house for a luncheon. They were so cute! They would all…
Boneless Barbecue Pork Ribs
I am all about saving money on my food bills. Pork and chicken tend to be the cheaper cuts of meat right now in our area. So, we eat lots of pork and chicken. I try to cook it a bit differently each time so my family does not realize they are eating the same…
Smoked Sausage Hash with Fried Eggs
I am still cleaning out my pantry and freezer with a “No Buy January.” Except for some fresh produce and dairy I am hoping to have both my freezer and pantry empty by the end of January. My refrigerator is pretty sparse right now and I am working on weeding out all the condiment and…
Eye of Round Roast
As you may know if you ever read any of my blog posts I am EXTREMELY frugal when it comes to purchasing food. I would rather use my money for things like vacations, fun little side trips with my family, parties, etc…. So, I try to only buy non-fresh items (meat, canned goods, beverages) on…
Slow Cooker Veggie-Beef Chili
This post is a bit late today. Just like everyone else, life sometimes gets in the way. Today it was three doctor appointments, out-of-town, of course, a cello lesson and a library program. No, I do not sit around my house all day cooking dinner, cleaning or playing on the computer. I am just like…
Slow Cooker Cocktail Meatballs
So, on New Year’s Day we don’t eat a traditional meal. We snack all day long. I searched through Pinterest for easy and different appetizers for my family to try. I remember trying this dish about 20 years ago at a party and liking it but when I went to make it I thought it…
World’s Best Steak Marinade
We are a family of carnivores. A few times we have tried going vegetarian or semi-vegetarian but the smell of a really good steak cooking always seems to lure us back. Even my mostly vegetarian daughter can’t resist a good steak. The other night when I made a comment about my daughter being mostly vegetarian…
Delicious Steak
Steak is a rarity in our house. I don’t often want to spend $5-$7 per pound on meat my family will eat in one bite. They LOVE steak but for me to spend $10-$15 on one piece of meat for dinner it has to be a special occasion or on sale. That’s exactly what this…
French Onion Beef Stroganoff
My daughter hates onions. She hates the smell and will pick them painstakingly out of each and every dish I make if she sees one. I have learned to finely mince the onions I am adding to most dishes so she can’t even see them. But, she LOVES French onion soup and onion rings. She…
