First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…

Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
Returning home after a wonderful vacation is never easy. It was tough coming back home after two weeks away in sunny Florida. When we left it was about O degrees, normal temperature with a windchill about -20. When we arrived in Florida they were having record tying or higher temperatures of 88-89 degrees with 90%…
Pork Fried Rice
One last To-Go dinner before vacation! I am ready to burst with excitement. We are heading to Walt Disney World. I am a master planner so I have breakfasts and dinners booked for our stay. Half are our old favorites such as Biergarten, Crystal Palace and Cape May Cafe’ and the rest are new to…
Sausage Hash Casserole
Two more nights until vacation. Two more meals to try to create from my quickly dwindling pantry and refrigerator supplies. We are surprising our son with the vacation so every time he asks, “Why don’t you just go to the store and get x or y?” I have to tell him that it’s not pay…
Ranch Baked Boneless Pork Chops
Friday was another Snow Day. It wasn’t so much for the snow but the negative wind chills that had them closing schools. When it starts to get down to -20 I want warm comfort food. I had a package of boneless pork steaks in my refrigerator. I started searching the web for a recipe that…
Bratwurst Macaroni and Cheese
We are back from our quick trip back home to visit my mother-in-law. At 96 years-old she just entered a nursing home. It has been tough on everyone but being 550 miles away from her as she makes this transition has been heartbreaking. She has gone from stage 3 Alzheimer’s to almost stage 7 in…
Slow Cooker Smothered Boneless Pork Chops
We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…
No Dough Pizza
We are still in a “No-Buy” January mode that is helping me clean out my basement pantry and freezer. We are in full on saving mode for our Walt Disney World trip. So, I need to find dishes that use things I normally stock in my pantry, freezer and kitchen and are fairly simple and…
Slow Cooker Pork and Tomato Stew
This is another attempt to add more vegetables to our meals. I took out pork loin boneless chops the other day and when I went to search for a recipe nothing was particularly inspiring to me. That my children will tell you is dangerous as it means I will start creating something on my own….
Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin
I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner. Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary. The gravy is the reason to…
Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs
This is a very strange picture. I get that. But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly. They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs. Not my first pick for a meal…
Pork en Croute
I wish I had a better picture of the pork en croute than this one but it all kind of fell apart as soon as I started cutting into it and it really wasn’t that beautiful to begin with. I knew I wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner this year so I began searching Pinterest…
