As you can probably tell from most of my posts my favorite things to cook are casseroles, skillet dinners and slow cooker dinners. They let me mix all the ingredients together, walk away and let it cook. Yes, I enjoy the fancy dinners once in a while, but right now my family life comes first…

Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I realized recently that my kids are getting spoiled by my cooking. We went to a Renaissance Fair over the weekend and because my daughter was one of the “entertainers” we got a free lunch. It was very simple meal and meant to feed a large group of people. It was white bread sandwiches with…
Manwhich Casserole
So during the school year we travel an hour, each way, to dance classes 3 days a week. That means after school we immediately get in a car and head out. Even now during the summer we are still heading out 2 days a week. So, I need meals that are quick, easy and can…
Turkish Meat Pie
My family LOVES food with lots of flavor and trying new and interesting things. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest, Turskish Meat Pies at Jocooks.com, I knew they would love it. My son especially loves trying “real” ethnic cuisine. Of course we are on a strict budget this month. You know those months where…
Philly Cheese Hot Dogs
This month we are on the eat cheaply plan. We recently went on vacation and have tons of fun things planned for the month but it leaves little cash for groceries. As a stay-at-home mom I am trying to make my budget stretch as far as possible. Recently they had $.99 hot dogs on sale…
Italian Cheese and Shells – Betty Crocker
Yes this really is boxed Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Italian Cheese and Shells. We returned home from vacation the other night and I had almost nothing in my cupboards for dinner. My children took out what they thought was ground beef from the freezer. Well, it was ground country pork sausage! Several people I know…
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
So this was definitely a I am really not too sure what I am making but our refrigerator contents are getting low and all I have is ground beef, meal. My children do not like plain old hamburgers or cheeseburgers and I was running out of time to get dinner on the table. Then the…
Cheeseburger Frittata
As we are finishing eating out of our pantry, refrigerator and freezer to clean them all out it is getting harder and harder to come up with meals. The only thing I am buying is a few fresh fruits and vegetables and dairy. Other than that ingredients must all come from staples found in my…
Tater Tot Taco Casserole
So lately dinner has been taking a “surprise” meat, I didn’t label anything in the freezer (oops) and we are in the process of cleaning out the freezer and pantry by eating only from them for a few weeks, no new groceries except for fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk; then opening it the next…
Marinated Feta over Greek Hamburgers
My family LOVES Greek flavors in food. Lots of oregano, parsley and garlic are in many of our dishes. One of their favorites is our version of Greek Hamburgers (recipe at bottom of page). When I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Marinated Feta I knew it would be a hit in our family. My…
Taco Salad (includes recipe for Taco Seasoning)
This recipe is part of one of my favorite memories from when I was in college. We were all poor college students who were running out of money on their meal cards at the end of the semester. We received an invitation to a dinner party where we were each to bring one fairly inexpensive…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf
Recipes for bacon wrapped meatloaf have been all over Pinterest for about a year now and I finally decided to give it a try. My family loves all things bacon. Or so I thought…. I think I may have finally found the one item that contains bacon that my family did not LOVE! They liked…
