Cheesy Wild Rice Casserole

This didn’t get posted yesterday because I had food poisoning.  I couldn’t believe it.  I still can’t.  I knew when I looked at the words someone used to search my blog and saw Barbecue Beef Cowboy Casserole and started getting sick again there was no way I was doing anything with food. We went to…

Paula Deen’s Pecan Cinnamon French Toast Casserole

First off notice that this is made in a disposable aluminum pan.  No, I am not taking this to an event but rather using it to feed my family.  Our under the counter mounted sink decided to detach from the counter at 7:00 am the other day.  So, we have no water in the kitchen…

Caramelized Onion, Bacon and Cheese Crustless Quiche

I love weekends!  Sleeping in, lazy days spent with the family and late dinners happen most weekends.  I LOVE bacon.  But, I am not a fan of cooking it first thing in the morning.  The smell makes me feel nauseated.  My children will tell you they very rarely get bacon for breakfast.  I don’t mind…

Creamiest Macaroni and Cheese

Yesterday was the first day back to school for both kids.  I decided to celebrate the first day by making my daughter’s favorite dish, macaroni and cheese.  She has been begging me to make plain, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese.  What she means by that is nothing added in – no shrimp, beef, tomatoes, veggies…. She…

Cod Au Gratin

This is another month of tight budgets.  With all the summer fun we have been having and back-to-school right around the corner I am ever mindful of money right now.  I am trying to use as many items as I can out of our freezer as possible. Recently I have been allowing my children to…

Hummus Crusted Chicken with Zucchini and Summer Squash

I needed inspiration for dinner.  Supplies are low this week so I needed to use things I had on hand in the refrigerator and pantry.  I was browsing through Pinterest because that is what I do daily.  I saw the title of a Pin that someone had posted and I knew right away I wanted…

Chicken with Rosemary Sauce

So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm.  I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans.  I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal.  It was really dark by the time we…

Chicken Divan

I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…

Ham Tetrazzini

Last night was amazing because we were home for an entire evening.  I mean we did have to go out and deliver our daughter to the Murder Mystery Night at the local library and pick her up.  Stop and get gas for the van and have a few minutes to chat with friends waiting for…

Italian Sausage Lasagna Casserole

I tried to get this post finished on Friday before we left for the Detroit Feis.  I didn’t make it.   Between picking my daughter up at a slumber party, physical therapy for her, a grocery store run and bagging all the food before we left at 1:00 pm I didn’t quite make my deadline to…

Potatoes au Gratin with Ham

I love comfort food.  I would eat mashed potatoes with gravy and meatloaf every day for dinner for weeks on end if the rest of the family would let me.  The rest of my family are dessert eaters.  I hardly ever eat ice cream or cookies.  I would far prefer a side of corn casserole…

Pork Chops and Potatoes – One Pan

I love the end of the school year.  It cannot come soon enough for us.  We love being home together for three months.  But, for the next 7 school days life is hectic. I am doing the big change over in clothes, coats and shoes.  I put everything in bins sorted by person.  So when…
