Day three without a kitchen sink. It is now glued back on but it needs to dry for 48 hours and then be sealed. I am getting really tired of not having a sink and running water in the sink. I can use my dishwasher but I don’t put pots and pans in it. So,…

Slow Cooker Cheddar, Ale & Bratwurst Soup
I just read the title of this recipe and knew I had to try it. Slow cooker, cheese, ale and bratwurst – all the wonderful things of life. That this dish is made in a slow cooker just makes me so happy! I found the original recipe for Slow Cooker Cheddar Ale and Bratwurst Soup…
Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Someone was mentioning to me the other day that they were looking at recipes but most of the recipes they looked at didn’t have ingredients they had on hand, especially spices. Having a basic spice cupboard is a good idea if you are looking to cook more at home. No, you do not need to…
Vegetable Soup with Ground Beef
I think it is now heading into winter here in Southwest Michigan. I woke up the other morning to 36 degree temperatures. Yes, 36 degrees. I am not ready for this. Our summer was short on beach time because of cooler weather and now my fall is getting cut to start winter already? No. But,…
Cheesy Hamburger Soup
The weather seems to have gone crazy lately. It has been beautifully warm like the summer was supposed to be. Yet, it has been crazy cold at times. A slight taste of what is to come? I have been at the grocery store for quite a bit lately to pick up those one or two…
Korean Ground Beef over Chinese Noodles
Finding new things to make with ground beef is becoming tougher and tougher. I am substituting it in as many dishes as I can. I found a great sale this week on lean ground beef for $2.87 a pound. I bought every package I could find. I hate paying over $3.00 a pound for meat…
Sloppy Joe over Cheesy Cornmeal Waffle
My new waffle maker came today so of course I have to immediately try it out. I knew I wanted something unique and savory to try so this is what I created. The meat of the day was the ground beef my daughter chose from the freezer and I immediately thought of Sloppy Joes like…
Salisbury Steak Meatballs
So we have returned from the last of our summer vacations. It was a whirlwind tour back to New York to visit friends and family. We returned home last night about 10 pm from: in 86 hours we drove almost 2,000 miles in 24 hours of driving time; slept in three different places; ate at…
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…
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…
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…
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. …
