We have been talking quite a bit lately about the traditions we have surrounding food. Ours are probably similar to yours in some ways as most people have a turkey on Thanksgiving or a ham on Easter but then there are those that are unique to our culture, family or location we live in. We…

Cod Au Gratin
This is another month of tight budgets. With all the summer fun we have been having and back-to-school right around the corner I am ever mindful of money right now. I am trying to use as many items as I can out of our freezer as possible. Recently I have been allowing my children to…
Parmesan Crab Hamburgers
So after having to pretend to be Cyber Woman today (and it really is pretend!) my computer is once again functioning. New mouse, new speakers and that pesky cord that needs to be plugged in so the keyboard actually functions is now back where it belongs. It has been a long day. But, I had…
Guinness Beer Battered Fish and Salt Potatoes
I will admit that this recipe took a bit more time than most of my other dinner dishes. I bought a package Gorton’s Fish Fillets a few weeks ago when they were on sale thinking I could use them for a quick dinner one night. What was I thinking? The minute I made the suggestion…
Blackened Fish Tacos
This past weekend we attended an Irish Festival in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was the first year of this festival and it was quite a bit of fun. But we did not get back home until 1:15 am Saturday night. It threw the rest of our weekend out of order and by last night I…
Emeril’s Seafood Mac and Cheese
Our lives are undergoing another shift soon. My children will move up from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school. I don’t know how this could be happening. I swear they just entered pre-school yesterday. Another shift is that my daughter, the one going into high school, has decided to…
Balsamic Glazed Salmon
We are trying to keep life as normal as possible for our family as we are awaiting the phone call that we need to head back home for my mother-in-law’s funeral. The children are under a great deal of stress not knowing what is happening day-to-day so we are trying to do as much as…
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Most of my dinner photographs are pretty awful. I am not a photographer. This has to be one of the worst pictures I have ever posted. This was taken after dinner when I realized I forgot to take a picture and there was just a little bit of Jambalaya left in the bottom of the…
Crab Topped Tilapia
Last night my family and I went through many of my blog posts from the past 2 years. It was fun talking about all the meals, what we liked and what we didn’t. It is amazing the memories tied to food. My children could tell from a meal if they were there for it, where…
Lemon Butter Tilapia
Some nights I am fighting myself to find something quick and fairly healthy to feed my children. I am just like every other mom in the world, busy. Tonight’s dinner was tough. I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, to go away for a few days and keep the kids on schedule for their…
Tilapia with Lemon Butter Sauce
I am trying to get my family to eat more fish. I keep seeing reports that we should eat fish 2-3 times a week. I can barely get them to eat it once a week. Even then it is usually met with “the face.” You know “the face” – the scrunchy nose, the pursed lips…
Crunchy Baked Tilapia
When I make fish for dinner it is usually Tilapia because it tends to be a milder fish and it is often on sale at our local grocery store. I can usually get a pound for less than $3.00. I usually have 2-3 lbs. in my freezer at any given time. It is my goal…
