Barbecue Cowboy Casserole
After a doctor appointment we needed to decide if my daughter was going to dance class last night. She had just been seen by our pediatrician who diagnosed her with problems in her Flexor from overuse. The pediatrician recommended physical therapy and to cut back a bit on dance class. The doctor told her that…
Emeril’s Seafood Mac and Cheese
Our lives are undergoing another shift soon. My children will move up from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school. I don’t know how this could be happening. I swear they just entered pre-school yesterday. Another shift is that my daughter, the one going into high school, has decided to…
Mexican Casserole – Cinco de Mayo
We spent the last weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at two Irish Dance Feis. We had been once before but only for one night. This time we spent two nights and had a bit of time to explore. We ended up at a German Beer Haus that was wonderful. Long family style tables with great beer…
Simple Cheesy Baked Rigatoni with Meatballs
I let my kids pick their birthday dinner each year. My son asked for pasta and sauce. His sister was totally annoyed, “He wants spaghetti and sauce? I am planning on a German dinner with braised red cabbage, German potato salad and brats with sauerkraut. He wants spaghetti?” She was not impressed in the least….
Ham & Cheese Egg Bake
I had a little piece of ham sitting in the freezer that I needed to get out of my freezer. I searched Pinterest but couldn’t find just what I wanted. I did not want bread or potatoes in the dish. All I wanted was something simple that did not have to set for hours before…
My 300th Post – Chinese Casserole
I knew this post was coming and I thought I would make a special dinner to celebrate. But, just like every other mom I know, it was a busy night last night and we are low on funds, being the end of the month and all, so I went with what I had on…
Pork Divan Casserole
One of my kids favorite books is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Alexander has everything go wrong during his day. When things go wrong in our house we look at each other and ask, “Are you having an Alexander day?” Now, I didn’t really have an Alexander day entirely but…
Ravioli Pizza Bake
As we await the phone call regarding my mother-in-law’s passing we are trying to keep things as normal as possible for the kids. They know Grandma is near the end and what that means but their lives are still going on. There was a Talent Show at the Middle School for my daughter to prepare…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna
I think I can, I think I can…. I will make it through this month with my sanity intact. Last night was dance class. At least with Daylight Savings Time change it is still light out when we head out on our drive and soon it will be light on the way home too. That…
Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole
This whole time change thing has thrown my entire family off schedule. We didn’t even have brunch until almost 2:00 pm because we just couldn’t get motivated. So, of course that put dinner way off schedule. We spent the rest of the day cleaning and hanging pictures so everyone was really hungry when it finally…
Rachael Ray’s Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
We are heading into one of our busiest months of the year, March. This is the month that the schools try to cram everything they can into as it is not quite the end of Winter and not quite Spring Break. We have two talent show programs with four showings, a movie night, a dance,…
