I needed a dinner within half an hour on the table. Standing in front of the open refrigerator and freezer (I now know where my children get it from) I finally gave in. I tried the Cheeze-It Chicken a week or so ago after seeing it on Pinterest. Now, the snack food fish. My son…

Tilapia over Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
This recipe started as a Creamy Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole from Womansday.com. As you can see from the title I did not use chicken because in the process of trying to clean out my freezer and pantry by instituting a personal No Buy Month I had no chicken in the house. I always have…
Parmesan Crusted Tilapia
My children 10 and 13 will pretty much try anything you give them. When we were on vacation a few weeks ago my son wanted to try the Garlic Scallop ceviche at the restaurant. Of course we let him. He ate it all but said he would probably order something else next time. I love…
Garlic Baked Shrimp
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I thought I had hit the Holy Grail of recipes. A Weight Watchers recipe with garlic and shrimp. Two of my families favorite items. I should have been a bit more skeptical when I was making this that something wasn’t quite right. The original recipe I followed is…
Creamy Tuna Noodle Casserole
I first saw this recipe for Creamy Tuna Noodle Cazuela in my new Food and Wine magazine. I thought it sounded wonderful and most of my family love Tuna Noodle Casserole so I thought I would give it a try. As with most recipes I try I found that I either did not have or…
Shrimp with Bertolli Vodka Sauce
I can count on my two hands the number of times I have bought jarred spaghetti sauce. To me it is just easier to use crushed tomatoes and spices and make my own. Plus having a child with many food sensitivities makes finding ready to use products difficult. But, there was a sale last week…
Crock Pot Jambalya
This is not in any way “real” Jambalaya. This is my creation with what I had on hand to make a Jambalya-esque meal. I am trying to use as many ingredients in my cooking as I can find in my pantry without having to go by new spices and ingredients. Ingredients: Chicken Andouille Sausage –…
Lobster, Mussels and Pasta
This was one of my kids favorite dishes. I made it easy by buying the lobster and mussels pre-cooked and flash frozen. Working as a tax preparer this is our busiest season so anything I can do to make meal preparation easier I take advantage of it during this time of year. The meal…
Red Beans & Rice Tortilla Casserole
Since last night was Fat Tuesday I decided to spice up dinner with a bit of “New Orleans” flavor. I started with the Red Beans & Rice Tortilla Casserole recipe from Zatarains.com. Red Beans & Rice Tortilla Casserole Ingredients 1 package ZATARAIN’S® Red Beans and Rice 1 can (8 3/4 ounces) whole kernel corn, drained…
Garlic Shrimp with White Wine Sauce
This was a delicious and easy week night dinner for us. I started with the recipe for Garlic Shrimp and White Wine Sauce from Cooking-Out-Loud.com. Ingredients: 6 cloves of garlic, minced Salt Pepper 4 Tablespoons olive oil 1 pound shrimp (I used frozen cooked shrimp) 1/2 cup butter 1 cup white wine Parsley Basil Feta…
Fish and Fries
If nothing else tonight proves that I am a real mom with real kids. Tuesdays are dance night in our house. That means from 5:15 pm to 7:30 pm someone is at dance class, returning from dance class or being picked up from dance class. Plus I had a PTA meeting thrown in the middle…
