Another of our most favorite dinners. This is a super easy delicious use for leftover corned beef! I am a bit late today in posting but my son had his 5th Grade Walk-Away Ceremony today. It was really a beautiful ceremony. After the awards were handed out they announced each child’s name and then they…

Pizza Stuffed Garlic Bread
I was looking for something different to use up some bulk Italian sausage that I had leftover from making stuffing for our Thanksgiving dinner. Still trying to use up all our bits of frozen meat in the freezer! I went on Pinterest and Google and all I could find were Zuppa Toscana (which I just…
Slow Cooker Maple-Stone Ground Mustard Pork Loin
Pork and chicken breasts have been on sale here during the month of January so you know I have a freezer full of pork loin, chops and chicken breasts portioned into cubes, strips and whole breasts to use in all sorts of dishes. Remember if you get pork loins you don’t need to keep the…
Slow Cooker Potato and Ham Chowder
So, we had Ham the other night with our Sweet Potato and White Potato Gratin (click for link to recipe). I had plenty of leftovers as ham was on sale before Christmas and I made sure to pick up a 15 lb. spiral cut one on sale. When I make my menus I try to plan nights…
Holiday Breakfast Casserole
This is our traditional Christmas breakfast. I am not sure what we are doing this year. My son is already upset by the holiday changes we are making this year so I will probably still need to keep this dish. Hope you enjoy! Holiday Breakfast Casserole
Simple Sausage Soup
I realize with all the sweet treats and appetizers I have been posting I am a bit behind on my dinner postings. I am saving them up for when I am taking a break during Christmas vacation. With all the cookies and treats I have been posting I realized this morning that I have only…
Meatball Mozzarella Bites
This time of year having a few easy appetizer recipes in the back of your mind can be a good thing. Whether it is a house full of teenagers, someone dropping by near dinner time unexpectedly or those last-minute party invitations having the makings for easy appetizers is always a good idea. These are hearty…
Pork Stir Fry with Chow Mein Noodles
I served this dinner earlier in the week but left it to post today knowing that Thanksgiving Day would throw my schedule off a bit. Hope you enjoy! In cleaning out the freezer I found 4 boneless pork chops that needed to be used as soon as possible. The other night was one of our…
Italian Sausage Gravy
We are trying to spend as little money as possible from now until the end of the month. I have a budget for Thanksgiving that I don’t want to break by buying extra items that we don’t really need. I am trying to use everything in our pantry and freezer. We had a package of…
Tortellini Pizza Skillet (One Pan Meal!)
Once again we are coasting towards the end of the month. With the extra expense this month of Thanksgiving and then Christmas, right around the corner, we are trying to use up the food in our freezer and only buying small amounts of groceries this month. The food for Thanksgiving that we eat – appetizers…
Pasta Carbonara
The word “healthy” is bothering me lately. It is blazoned across every post and recipe I read lately. It doesn’t matter if it has butter, cheese and cream in it they call it healthy. It may be “healthier” than another version of the same recipe but that does not make it healthy. Can food be…
Make Your Own Subs – What We Have When We Have No Time for Dinner
My kids say I am cheap. I prefer frugal. Cheap implies scrimping beyond comfort levels that I will not cross. I have read stories of people separating 2 ply toilet paper into two rolls to save money or stuffing their pockets with ketchup, soy packets, salt and pepper when they visit restaurants. No, I will…
