We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop. We have some expenses coming up this month that we wanted to be sure we had enough in reserves to pay for. But, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound? Couldn’t pass…

Meal 2 – Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza
So, we started this meal yesterday with Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Nuggets (click for link to post). I made an extra pound of chicken nuggets so that I could have leftovers for dinner tonight. I am personally NOT a fan of leftovers but if I can make them into something completely new I am fine…
Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Strips
Even though I make many “different” meals for my family they still want “kid” food once in a while. I am not a believer in that there are kids foods and adult foods. Kids menus and foods began back in the 1920s because prior to that time most parents dined out without children. Starting in…
Slow Cooker White Turkey Chili
If you have read my blog before you know I am all about using every little last piece of something we have in our freezer, pantry and refrigerator before it spoils. That means I have to rotate my pantry shelves from time to time. When putting away your groceries in your pantry stock them like…
Shish Taouk
When I read this recipe for Shish Taouk from White House Red Door (click for link to original recipe) I knew I was going to make this recipe soon! We love Mediterranean food and I was excited to try this. There is a little Mediterranean restaurant near our house and we love to order new foods to…
Moo Goo Gai Pan – 4th Bloggaversary
Four years ago on January 24, 2012, I challenged myself to a game where I would make a different meal each night for my family. The rules I set for myself were simple. I had to post a picture the next day of our meal and give a recipe or in the case of old…
Balsamic and Mushroom Chicken Skillet
My daughter and I went on her first field trip with her virtual school. They have held field trips all over the state during the last year and a half but they were always too far away, at an inconvenient time or like last year there was a snow storm on the day we were…
Slow Cooker Simple Chicken and Dumplings (with Homemade Dumplings!)
If you have paid any attention to my blog lately you will have noticed that I have served chicken several times over the last few weeks. Chicken breasts are fairly inexpensive right now so I am buying 30-40 pounds a month. That is quite a bit of chicken for us to eat for dinners. I…
Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana
So, how are those New Year resolutions coming along? Despite the cold, dark days recently I am keeping to my word to let JOY lead me this year. Despite the weather and the pain I have been in due to severe arthritis I am trying to make the most of my days. I am doing…
Kung Pao Chicken
I had a bit of extra time last night so I decided to make Kung Pao Chicken. I stopped at the store on the way home and picked up green peppers, red peppers, green onions, soy sauce and peanuts. I also picked up a few extra fresh ingredients for our next couple meals. But, I…
Chicken with Peanut Sauce
Third time will be the charm today, right? I have lost this post two times already and my revert to saved is not working to restore what I have saved. UGH! But, here we go, again…. We are back to the busy, busy school schedule just like everyone else. The one thing I am grateful…
Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cheese
Thanksgiving is coming up and I am trying to get all our shopping done on a budget. I have been scouring ads and comparing prices. Today we picked up the turkey because they were 50% off at one store ($.52 a pound). I used to get a much better deal but this seems like the…
