Dance classes are back in full swing so that means more “Dinners-to-Go.” Above is a picture of one of the divided dishes we use. There is no salad or vegetable in the other side yet like I normally serve. I love these dishes because they can be recycled after a few dozen uses and they…

Confetti Macaroni and Cheese
After a long weekend of being sick and not being able to tolerate any solids I am at least back to cooking. Not eating but cooking. This was a dish that my children helped create because we needed to get everything ready to go to dance class and I was trying to figure out how…
Pizza Lasagna
This has been a rough week. I am not motivated to cook or be creative at all. I am waiting to the last possible second to start dinners and I end up scrambling around to see what we have to make. I am thankful for my list of monthly meals to choose from but sometimes,…
Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini
I LOVE my slow cooker. I use it as much as possible and am always scouring the web for new recipes. This recipe is a mixture of several different recipes. I wanted something creamy but not soup, which was most of the slow cooker recipes using tortellini, and no meat. So, I tried this. It…
Spaghetti Pie II – with Ricotta Cheese
This is normally how I make Spaghetti Pie. I tried the sour cream and cream cheese version that I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago (recipe here) but I prefer this Spaghetti Pie. For my family it was a toss-up. They liked them both for different reasons. My son hates ricotta cheese so I…
Parmesan Pasta Salad
We are nearing the end of our “No Buy July” month and my cupboards are getting pretty bare. I am having to become more and more creative in my meals. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing from Grumpy’s Honeybunch. The recipe sounded delicious but I did not have…
Easy Pad Thai
This was a recipe my son and I made together. He needed to make a recipe from a cookbook for his summer library reading program. We looked over my cookbook collection (yes, I really have a BIG collection) and he chose a Pad Thai recipe from Pinterest. Now, he mostly chose this because it sounded…
Spaghetti Pie
My family loves Spaghetti Pie but this is not the normal recipe we use. Being on a strict budget after vacation at the beginning of the month I did not have any ricotta cheese in the house and trying to finish out my “No Buy July” (except for fresh fruits and vegetables) I had to…
Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner
This is another one of those recipes that I started with what I could find on-line and then ventured off into unknown territory as I was missing some of the ingredients in the original recipe from Pillsbury.com for Skillet Lasagna. This was again a dinner for my family to eat on-the-go. It traveled well although…
Pierogies with Bacon, Caramelized Onions and Broccoli
This meal was just from what I had in the refrigerator and freezer. I am trying to use up all our “supplies” so that I can start refilling this summer. So, other than buying a few fresh items my grocery shopping is extremely limited. I used boxed Mrs. T’s Pierogies in this recipe. They worked…
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
This is not the best picture of the dish that is now my favorite summer side but it was all I had. This dish disappeared quickly. Now, I admit that we love vinegar in all its forms. The sweet with a bit of a sour bite after is one thing we look for in dishes. …
Mexican Stuffed Shells
This recipe started from a Pinterest recipe for Mexican Stuffed Shells from The Girl Who Ate Everything. As you know if you have read any of my other posts or recipes I tweak my cooking to what I have on hand and what I know my family will eat. I loved the idea of this…
