We have been on vacation for the past two weeks and just arrived home last night. It was a beautiful two weeks with only 1 1/2 days of rain and temperatures in my favorite area of 70 to 75 degrees just about every day. Sunshine was plentiful and I felt amazing. This is what we…

Smothered Chicken Casserole
We are coming to the end of “N0-Buy” January in our house. That means lots of chicken and potatoes. Normally I serve lots of chicken but potatoes, especially white potatoes, are not used very often by us. That is probably why I have so many to use up now. “No-Buy” January is never easy but…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti
I love my slow cooker. I say it every chance I get. It makes cooking dinner so easy at least 3 days a week. I know some people don’t like the texture of the shredded meat that often occurs with the slow cooker. One way to combat that problem is to sear the meat prior…
Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Every once in a while my family loves a good, home-cooking casserole. The right combinations in a casserole can almost feel like a warm hug from when you were a child. They can evoke memories from your past. I always find it amazing to stop and think about the way food effects us emotionally and…
Barbecue Chicken French Bread Pizza
I love making French Bread Pizzas because they are so simple to make and can be on the table in 30-45 minutes. If you have leftover meat, some cheese, a sauce and a few spices you can make a number of different French Bread Pizzas. I chose to make a Barbecue Chicken French Bread Pizza….
Cheesy Quinoa, Chicken, and Broccoli Casserole
Wow, another snow day today! That makes three this week. I need to keep everyone focused and moving forward because changes of schedule in our house can be difficult. They start to sleep in later, which causes them to stay up later, so they sleep in later…. Until their days and nights are flipped. So,…
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Verde Soup
This posting is late tonight as my kids are on their second snow day this week and most likely heading into their third tomorrow. Yesterday school was closed because of the snow. Today school is closed because of the cold. I woke up this morning to an igloo on Weatherbug for the forecast – not…
Traditional Chicken Pot Pie
January is a “No Buy” month in our house. Except for fresh produce and dairy, which I am trying to keep to a minimum, I want to complete the first of my clean out the freezer challenges for the year and try to save money towards vacation. So, the first thing I found in my…
Cheesy Pesto Chicken and Garlic Crispy Red Potatoes
I am a “Real Mom” home cook. I am not trained in any form of cooking or baking. I have two children and a spouse that like to be fed each day and I try to accommodate them the best I can. We have dance lessons, cello lessons, Science Olympics, Lego Robotics and library groups…
Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry
It’s almost Christmas and I am still trying to keep our food budget from breaking the bank this month. I am trying to save money to use towards nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch and dinners. I still need to buy wine and meat for those meals and don’t want to dip into the…
Cheesy Chicken Manicotti
This week is shaping up to be the week of casseroles and skillet dinners. We have concerts, meetings, shopping and schoolwork to finish up before the 19th. Thankfully school will be out after that and we can really relax before Christmas. G had his first 6th Grade Orchestra concert. They don’t start instruments here until…
Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers
Mostly our weekends have been spent at Feises (Irish dance competitions) but now our son had his First Lego League competition this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. We knew nothing about First Lego League. We knew that he was a programmer but beyond that nothing. We learned quite a bit this weekend. I have…
