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…

Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Back to my slow cooker! I love this thing. It’s that busy time of year and with a teacher conference, a dentist appointment, volunteering at the school book fair and working so dinner needed to be quick and easy. I found this recipe for Cheesy Chicken & Rice from kmhoho.wordpress.com and as I read it…
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
My daughter does not like rice. I am trying every way I can to cook it so she will eat it. I have tried brown rice, white rice, rice mixes. I have cooked it with spices, chicken stock, beef stock and tried putting stuff like corn, peppers, onions in it. She will grudgingly eats a…
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
I realized as I looked through my Pinterest account for dinner inspirations that most of my pins lately have been Chinese/Asian influenced dishes. I think because they are usually fairly simple to prepare and I can add vegetables of my choosing as a side I am drawn to them. This Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken…
Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
I love, love, love, love my slow cooker. I love that I can put the ingredients in the crock in the morning and by dinner time I have this delicious dish. Everyone came in the house this evening and commented on how wonderful dinner smelled. If you are not using your slow cooker at least…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Loaded Tater Tots
Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…
Chicken Stir Fry
Another simple way to add lots of veggies to my dinners is with Asian inspired dishes. I love that I can mix up the recipe I found for Chicken Stir Fry from Hoosier Family Love.com and have it ready fairly quickly. The most strenuous part of the recipe is chopping the vegetables. For my heartier…
Chicken Fried Rice
This is my new wok that I got for Christmas. I LOVE IT! Yes, I am shouting. I also have a large skillet by the same company. I love that I can take it from stove top to oven. It has a ceramic base that is easy to keep clean and the food doesn’t stick….
Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings
Well, this is one more in our junk food bonanza week. I guess it is just slightly a step up from deep-fried chicken wings. I know this is the time of year everyone starts their resolutions to only eat salads for dinner or eat 7 servings of fruit and vegetables per day but I have…
Herbed Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
This is my last casserole until after Christmas. Then I will have to see what I can do with all the leftovers I am sure we will have! Last night’s dinner started out with as Cheesy Chicken Ranch Casserole from the Finding Joy in the Kitchen.com. Of course I didn’t have half of the ingredients…
Creamy Garlic Chicken
I am still making casseroles for dinner. This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first. I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole. I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…
Chicken Parmigiana with Sauce
It has been ages since I made Chicken Parmigiana. Since my son has been gluten-free almost 5 years ago now I try to limit having to make two meals every night when I can. I have learned to “adapt” our dinners for him so I usually divide everything without gluten into 1/3 for him and…
