I let my daughter pick what we were having for dinner the other night. The only condition was that whatever we would make, we had to have almost all the ingredients already in the house. She looked through several things and finally settled on this dish. The only item we needed to buy was a…

Parmesan Chicken Bites over Garlic Egg Noodles
As my kids get older there are some definite benefits. We never went to movies when the kids were little, unless they were “Sensory Friendly” movies that certain theaters showed for kids that need the lights up a little, the sound turned down a little and to be in a space where no one cared…
Cheesy Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts
I am all about easy dinners. This dish was perfect for us. I usually make enough food to have at least two servings of leftovers for lunch the next day. Not all of us will eat leftovers but there are a few dishes we end up fighting over who gets the leftovers this dish was…
Kotopoulo Lemonato
The kids and I are insanely jealous because my wife is in Orlando, Florida at a conference. It wouldn’t be so bad if she didn’t get to go to Epcot the other day and were not staying right next to Walt Disney World, our favorite vacation spot. She was at Epcot for the last day…
Cheesy Chicken Frito Burrito
Happy Halloween!!! I’m back! I took a four-day break while we were at a double Feis (Irish dance competition) this weekend. I pretty much post in real-time so I normally would have tried to get a post or two together on the road but I decided to just be with my family and take a…
A Plan B Dinner – Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches on Garlic Bread Rolls
We all have those nights. Last week I told you about my daughter burning dinner (and my favorite pan) and the freezer leaking all over the kitchen floor. That night we ordered out. Emotionally there are nights I just can’t deal. But, most nights I have a Plan B in the background. When I do…
Sticky Baked Chicken
After the mess the other night things are now back on track. I had my daughter make the chicken to prove that mistakes happen and we move on. They are not permanent. She did a great job. We were at Western Michigan University yesterday and the kids saw two take-out delivery trucks stopping at the…
Slow Cooker Simple Apple Chicken
Yesterday I did not post anything on my blog which is unusual for me. Something had to give and yesterday it was my blog. Everything is good but the day can only hold so many things. When I looked back over the last 11 weeks I realized I had only missed posting 6 days. Not…
Clinton Kelly Inspired Chicken Thigh Osso Buco
I can tell winter is on its way in when I see the sand/snow fences up at the beach. This is always a very sad sight for me because I know what is coming far too soon. The past two Halloween nights we have had snow or cold, icy rain. With Halloween only 3 weeks…
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice Bake
Mediterranean flavors are one of my family’s favorite flavors. The brightness of the lemon, the tang of the garlic and the spiciness of the oregano all combined together are delicious. I am generally not a fan of drumsticks and thighs but our supermarket had them on sale recently for $.49 a pound. I bought about…
Buffalo Chicken French Fry Casserole
My son likes spicy dishes. We all love Buffalo chicken, but in varying versions of heat. One of the nice things about this dish is that you can vary the hotness of the dish. We generally go for a mid-range medium but my son can then spice his dish up with one of the variety…
Creamy Swiss Chicken
So I have finally decided to start doing something just for me. I joined a handbell choir. I have never played handbells before. It has been interesting. I realized I was being very hard on myself because I had a music degree I should be able to go in and pick this up like nothing….
