It is still really warm here during the days – up to 90 degrees some days. In Michigan it should be high 60s/low 70s not 80s/90s. But, it has been getting a bit cooler at night. That makes me want to light a fire pit, go on leaf changing drives (they have barely turned!), and…

Cheesy Italian Sausage Skillet Lasagna
I have wanted to make lasagna the past few weekends but we have been super busy. I finally decided to give in and make a skillet lasagna with all the cheesy goodness of a lasagna. Most of the time the skillet lasagnas don’t have enough cheese for me so I incorporate ricotta just like homemade…
Cranberry Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Our weather has take a strange turn. It was really very nice and cool out for about a week or so. Highs in the low 70s and high 40s and low 50s at night were perfect for me. We could open the windows at night and turn off the air conditioning. It was wonderful for…
Buffalo Pork Chops
I am always looking for simple dinners and I remembered this recipe from 2014. The Mozzarella Buffalo Pork Chops (click for link to original post) is a perfect weekday meal in that it is on the table in about 30 minutes. It has tons of flavor and is super juicy. Verdict: This is one of…
Kielbasa, Rice, and Broccoli Skillet Dinner
Happy Labor Day! School is starting tomorrow. We are spending the day getting ready and having a small family picnic. The weather the last few days has been cool but of course the weather predicted for the first day of school? High 80s! At least it is not rain predicted like usual. So, we are…
Slow Roasted Pork Loin
One of the skills I continually work with my kids on is cooking. Last night when I asked my son to put the pork loin in to cook I got a bit of the eye-roll. Not completely because I cut that one off quick. But, when I told him what he had to do to…
Spicy Pork Ramen Noodles
Lots of kids across the south and some in the lower Midwest seem to be heading back to school. This is my second least favorite time of year only to New Year’s Eve. I am very sensitive to the passage of time and reflection on life during these times. It has been only about 2/3…
Sour Cream Pork Chops
Pork chops were super cheap a few weeks ago, $.99/lb, so you know I bought 10-15 lbs for the month. Now it is time to start cooking them! I remembered a recipe that I made a few weeks ago that I thought would work perfectly with pork instead of chicken. The recipe was simple so…

This recipe for Paula Deen’s Bobby’s Goulash (click for link to recipe) is from 2012. I haven’t revisted it but…
Choose Your Topping Pork Chops
We made a deal that if we were done before dinner before the ice cream shop closed we would get ice cream and head to the beach. It was already 8:00 pm so we weren’t sure if it was possible. This meal made it possible. Super simple and we were to the beach before sunset!…
Favorite Recipes Revisited: BLT Pasta Salad
This recipe from 2018 is one of our favorites for Spring. It has the taste that summer is just around the corner! We have been snowbound lately and I have been dreaming of warmer temperatures. So, my mind is turning to summer picnics and salads. To battle the winter doldrums we had an Indoor picnic…
Braised Red Cabbage (updated)
If you asked my children the star of this plate was the Braised Red Cabbage (click here for link to original recipe), although the German Meatballs and Spaetzle were good too (click here for link to recipe). There was not a bite left at the end of dinner. They love red cabbage. My house smelled…
