One meal that can help get dinner on the table quickly in my house is sandwiches. But, they have to be hearty sandwiches. My family will turn their noses up at anything that they can’t hold in two hands. It has to be packed full of good stuff and flavor for them to consider it…

Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Frugal. I love that word. I choose to spend my money on certain things and not on others. We love our vacations and having our children take a wide variety of classes and lessons. They are not free. So, I choose to not have new furniture, carpeting or the most up-to-date seasonal clothing. It’s my…
Turkey and Honey Ham Cheesy Biscuits
I dread the start of back to school each year. It is so much fun having my kids home but the one thing I will enjoy is being back on a regular schedule. I have been driving to cello camp every morning, dance classes two or three days a week (never the same days week…
Schnitzel Sandwiches
Sorry this is so late today. It has been incredibly fun and relaxing all at the same time. This is why I am late: The kids went to camp and then this: We are on vacation!!!! But, I knew the kids were leaving for camp and the car was packed. I knew dinner was going…
Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
A sure way to tell that summer is on the way in these parts? The fountains are back on! Of course it has been in the 40s and low 50s and I don’t think many people are going to be running through them very soon but they are on and that means tourists are on…
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese – A Birthday Dinner
I didn’t get a chance to post about my son’s birthday dinner last week. This was what he really wanted for his birthday dinner, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. We first made this sandwich about 7 or 8 months ago at his urging and he waited until his birthday for me to make them again. They…
Buffalo Beef Stuffed Garlic Bread
My blog is about the game I play with my family. Making a different dinner every week night without repeating the exact same dish. I can use similar recipes with different meats or ingredients but there has to be at least one new dish at each meal. It is not just about the food. It…
Muffaletta
This would make an outstanding addition to a Super Bowl Party! It can be made the morning of the party or the night before and it’s ready to go when the party starts! My kids wanted to try “authentic” food from New Orleans. Every so often my children decide they want to try food from…
Taco Braid – When Life Happens
Confession time. Life happens. You can have the perfect plans and still something can go wrong. Take dinner for example. You have your menu planned, you have the meat defrosting in the refrigerator or cooking in the slow cooker. Then life happens. The power goes out late in the afternoon so the meal in your slow…
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…
Shrimp Po-Boys
We have been eating quite a bit of shrimp and fish lately. Still trying to stick to the mostly vegetarian diet while still eating fish and seafood, and dairy. I noticed today our milk consumption is slowly dropping as I am sure our cheese consumption will slowly start to go down to as we slowly…
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…
