My family loves breakfast for dinner. They would like it if I made breakfast for them 3 times a day. I like breakfast foods just not as much as they do. I had a package of breakfast sausage I wanted to use so I searched for a recipe that thought everyone would like and would…

Pepperoni and Sausage Calzones
I like to make things easier on myself when I can. A few months ago I bought a Fleishmann’s Italian Herb Bread Mix when it was on sale and I had a coupon. Yes, I try to shop as cheaply and simply as I can. But, it has been sitting in my cupboard since…
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
Pork has been incredibly cheap at the grocery stores lately so my family has been eating plenty of boneless pork chops, pork roasts, pork loins…. You name it we have eaten it. I am trying a different recipe each and every time we cook it. I had this huge roast in my freezer and wanted…
Philly Cheese Hot Dogs
This month we are on the eat cheaply plan. We recently went on vacation and have tons of fun things planned for the month but it leaves little cash for groceries. As a stay-at-home mom I am trying to make my budget stretch as far as possible. Recently they had $.99 hot dogs on sale…
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…
Italian Cheese and Shells – Betty Crocker
Yes this really is boxed Betty Crocker Hamburger Helper Italian Cheese and Shells. We returned home from vacation the other night and I had almost nothing in my cupboards for dinner. My children took out what they thought was ground beef from the freezer. Well, it was ground country pork sausage! Several people I know…
Baked Boneless Pork Chops
First off this is a horrible picture for such a delicious dish. For some reason my camera refused to focus well and the dish is mostly beige so it was really hard to get everything in focus especially against my white plates. But, other than being a beige dish this was actually a really delicious…
Modenese Pork Chops
I think I need to change my blog from “What’s for Dinner Mom?” to “Dinner on the Run.” It seems like I am rushing all the time lately to either get dinner on the table or to get it in a bowl so we can rush out the door and eat in the car. With…
Ham and Swiss Quiche II
So another day of me not thinking about dinner until just about 30-45 minutes before I need to have something on the table. I stood in front of the dwindling refrigerator wondering what I can have that will not be a repeat meal for my family. I came close. Not a great picture but this…
Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
Kielbasa, Potato and Cheese Casserole
I am trying to use up everything in our freezer, refrigerator and pantry this month so I have instituted a No Buy Month for groceries this month. I am allowed to buy fresh items like milk, eggs, vegetables and fruit but even those I am trying to limit so that I can use all the…
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…
