I am looking for the quick and easy dinners right now. As we have two weeks left before heading back to school we are trying to cram every last minute of fun we can into summer. I have been forgetting about dinner until 30 minutes prior to when my kids want to eat, which is…

Vegetarian Shepherds Pie
As much as I find my son’s decision to become a vegetarian overwhelming to my menu planning and cooking in the past three weeks I think I have eaten more vegetables than I have in the past year. I have noticed that all of us are eating less processed foods and less sugary foods even…
One Pan Cheesy Rice and Smoked Sausage
As I watch other families post pictures about the first day of school I am so happy we still have 34 days of summer vacation left! I love fall and back to school time but I also love having my kids around all summer. We still have cello camp, dance camp, a Feis in Milwaukee,…
Macaroni and Cheese topped with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
I have renewed my Disney blogging by committing to myself to blog at least once a week about Walt Disney World. Most of my posts are about food but some will be about rides, family fun, and as always fun with autism. One of my first posts was about the meal my daughter and I…
Macaroni and Cheese at Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner
So, I have decided to go back to my at least once a week posts on Walt Disney World. Most of my posts are about our food adventures at Disney but I will be posting about our adventures with rides, changes at the parks and as always fun with autism. My daughter and I loved…
Easy Creamy Taco Pasta
I keep waiting for the hot July weather. It has been warmer but not the high 80s and 90s I am used to. We are getting ready for a busy month ahead so I am trying to keep our grocery bill down by using smaller amounts of meat and more pasta, beans, and rice in…
Cheesy Barbecue Chicken and Biscuit Casserole
I am always looking for easy, tasty ways to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible. I try not to use prepared items in my cooking for the most part. I have found simple exchanges for canned soups, canned biscuits and bottled sauces. But, sometimes a mom has to do what a mom…
Ham and Potato Egg Bake
It is still October like weather here in Southwest Michigan even though the calendar says it is early July. The high today was low 60s and overnight it was in the high 40s. Ick. Lake Michigan temps are still in the 50s. It has not been warm enough, long enough to get the water warm….
Easy Creamy Pasta Casserole
Trying to use up all the last pieces and parts that I am finding in my refrigerator, freezer and pantry is going to be interesting. I am working on a No-Buy June where I have to use up what is in my pantry, freezer and refrigerator. I can buy fresh produce, dairy and spices but…
A Contemplative Weekend and a Chicken Caesar Casserole
I am over my temper tantrum from last week. I spent most of this weekend thinking about life, my friends and family. One year ago my mother-in-law died at 96 years-old after an amazing life. She loved her seven children, 25 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren (and still counting) and all their spouses and significant others. …
Chicken Enchilada Verde
As I look around my house I realize how busy life has been over the last month. Nothing is seriously wrong but there are baskets of laundry to be folded, clean dishes to put away, and tables to be dusted. It seems that just like everyone else we are running from morning until late in…
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…
