My kids are fairly fearless tasters of new foods. People often think I have some miracle cure because my son is Autistic and many people with Autism have food aversions or a small list of foods that they will eat. I am not talking about the children and adults with Severe Food Aversions which affects…

Ground Beef Lo Mein
The temperatures are finally getting cooler here. The other morning it was 39 degrees even with the sun shining. Today we are starting the time of year with little to no sun. We are looking for comfort food and pasta does that for most of my family. I am not a fan of red sauce…
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…
Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Bisque
This past weekend was our one weekend home for the month. It means we try to cram everything we want to do at home into one weekend. We pounded chicken down, poached a few breasts for casseroles and cut others into tenders all for freezing. Then there is the house cleaning. The one billion and…
Simple Cheesy Quorn Casserole
The weather here in Southwest Michigan has been amazing. The past two days it has been 70 degrees! For the first week in November that is almost unheard of. Last Halloween we had snow so we are outside taking advantage of every moment in the sun we could get. So, dinner is later than usual…
Buffalo Tofu “Wings”
Even though my son has given up on his vegetarianism for now I am still trying to do 90% or so vegetarian diet for all of us. We do dairy, eggs and seafood. But, even the egg consumption has dropped way down. We used to use 2 dozen eggs every 10 days or so. Now…
Tortellini Caesar Salad (with homemade Caesar Dressing)
CHANGE! This has become my motto lately. I get frustrated when I go into an office or a business to speak with a manager or someone in charge and about an issue I have with customer service or a product and they give me the answer, “But, we have always done it this way.” That…
4 Cheese Tortellini Pizza
I was thinking about creating a Thanksgiving Pizza for dinner but my ever fiscally responsible son reminded me we would need to buy turkey, ingredients for stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. He was right. We should use what we have on hand first. So, we went searching through the freezers to see what we…
Simple Slow Cooker Italian Vegetable Soup
Even though my son has decided he will eat meat on occasionally. I am still trying to keep us all eating vegetarian about 90% of the time. I am still buying fish, shrimp and tofu and not buying chicken, pork or beef. If we have any of those it either has to come from the…
Blackened Tilapia and Roasted Vegetable Taco Bowls
We were supposed to go away to a Feis this past weekend but due to car issues and my daughter coming down with a cold we missed for the first time, in five years, a dance competition that we had signed up for. I think that is pretty good considering we attend 10-14 Feis each…
Slow Cooker Broccoli and Cheese Soup – Only 4 Ingredients!
We miss the huge parties we used to have back in Rochester. We would invite all our friends to our house for a Christmas Open House or to a cabin in the parks for our Annual Sledding Party. We would have 90-120 people throughout the day and it was always so much fun! We would…
Buffalo Shrimp Tostadas
When I first told my kids about this dish I got “the Face.” You know the scrunchy face your kids make when they think something sounds weird or yucky. They both said, “Buffalo sauce on shrimp? That will be disgusting.” They love Buffalo wings and Buffalo sauce and I guaranteed them they would like it,…
