There are nights I hate making dinner. I don’t want to do it and I delay it as long as possible because I don’t even want to think about it. I am even slowly teaching my kids to cook with the hope that they can take over a couple nights a week. Tonight they both…

Ham and Cheese Pizza with Pesto Crust
I decided to take last week off to maintain my sanity. Last week was dance camp for my daughter, cello lessons for my son and getting us packed and the house cleaned for a double Feis in Milwaukee this past weekend. So, life has been crazy but I was able to keep up with cooking…
Baked Chicken Wings (with 3 sauces) and Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
Spicy Asian Pork Chops
This was another simple meal for us. I started cooking the rice as soon as I put the pork on to cook and everything came out at just about the same time. Start to finish from when I started cooking the meal was about 30-35 minutes. Love these quick easy meal. Verdict: This was a…
Pesto Meatball Sandwiches
We spent the weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin for two Feises. Milwaukee has become our go to city, even more than Chicago. It is a three and a half hour drive, more with all the construction, but we still love it and are having a great time exploring different areas each time we go. We discovered…
Ham Tetrazzini
Last night was amazing because we were home for an entire evening. I mean we did have to go out and deliver our daughter to the Murder Mystery Night at the local library and pick her up. Stop and get gas for the van and have a few minutes to chat with friends waiting for…
Cuban Paninnis
So, I didn’t post yesterday. After a horrible round of a Summer stomach bug I am finally back to feeling human again. I really did not even get out of bed until 4:00 pm yesterday except to get sick and take my son to see his new cello teacher. Even then, I came back home…
Grilled Ham and Pineapple Skewers
This is not a great picture of this dish. Our local grocery store had whole pineapples on sale for $1.49 this week. I have bought 2 so far but am going back today for 2 more. They are so sweet the kids were begging for fresh pineapple last night. We are still in a No…

Taco Hot Dogs
This was a fun meal that turned out much better than I thought it would. A few weeks ago our local grocery store had a sale on all beef hot dogs. So, of course I bought four packages (won’t be on sale again for 4-6 weeks!). Then I had to think of ways to make…
Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Even in summer I love my slow cooker. I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…
Pork Carnitas Tacos with Pickled Onions
Back from two evenings off of making dinner. The conference I attended on Monday and Tuesday was fabulous. I can’t wait to share more of it in the coming days. But, I still had to cook dinner last night. When I explained my blog to people at the conference most asked me how I had…
