I am still on the comfort food kick. I think I have had more types of mashed potatoes over the last two weeks than I can ever remember. I had hamburger thawing and as my children say, “Mom, can’t just make plain hamburgers.” So, off in search of a recipe I went. I found this…

Old-Fashioned Meatloaf
I love meatloaf. If I want to make a comfort dinner for myself it is usually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. As the weather has been turning a bit cooler during the day I more than ever want real homey comfort food. Scouring Pinterest I saw this recipe for The Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Meatloaf. I…
Bacon Cheeseburger with Balsamic Onion Bacon Jam
The cheeseburger looks a bit gray in this picture but it looked better on the plate. I had a half a package of bacon to use leftover from the other night. I hate having food spoil especially bits and ends of jars and things I buy to make a recipe. I try to group several…
Rochester Style Garbage Plate with Meat Sauce
We are going back “home” for a visit soon but we are still missing Rochester. On our last trip back I picked up 3 lbs. of Hoffman Hot Dogs. Now Zweigle’s are the hotdog of choice in Rochester, NY but we prefer Hoffman’s. I can say that now that we moved away without everyone looking…
Beef Stroganoff – Hamburger Helper Style
A few weeks ago they had beef bottom roasts on sale at the grocery store. I bought three and was going to cut one up for stir fry or stews. When I started cutting though it I saw that this was going to be futile. I had a couple handfuls of bits and pieces when…
Simple Baked Pork Buns
I have never had real steamed pork buns so I am not sure how these compare to those. I had bought hoisin sauce and rice vinegar a few weeks ago for another dish and I wanted to finish it up. I hate buying condiments and spices for one dish so I try to find 2…
Meatball Sub Casserole with Garlic Bread
Things lately have been crazy in our house and I LOVE when I can find meals that look great and seem fairly easy to make. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest it looked delicious and seemed far to easy. Meatballs, sauce, cheese and bread. Okay but will they eat it? I made a few…
Chili Cheese Frito Casserole
This dish was a part of a joke in my family. When anyone celebrates a 40th birthday party in my group of friends we celebrate by throwing them some outrageous “surprise” party. For one friend who is an English teacher we had bad grammar and spelling everywhere. Her cake read “Hapee Fourtieth Burfday.” Another friend…
Stove-Top Tamale Pie Skillet Dinner
School starts next week and the weather has definitely been cooler here lately. I sat looking out the window before dinner last night and noticed that the leaves of the Elm tree outside our house are just starting to turn. I can’t believe that the kids have been on summer vacation for 11 weeks. As…
Slow Cooker Cola Beef Roast
School starts in a week. I am one of those moms who hate to see her kids go back to school. It means the beginning of schedules and classes, homework and Fall. Sigh. Slowly I see my food changing over to fall comfort food as the weather begins to change. My slow cooker sits on…
Easy Beef and Broccoli
My son had a friend over for dinner who, to say the least, is a VERY picky eater. I decided to treat him like one of my own children and just make dinner as usual. He told me he didn’t like steak or broccoli when I served this but, he asked for seconds. This was…
