We love our breakfast casseroles. I love that I can make it the night before and just pop them in the oven the next morning. This is our favorite for New Year’s Day because no matter what time we get up breakfast can be on the table in about an hour. My kids love this…

Veggie Pizza Appetizer
Between now and Super Bowl Sunday I am planning on making and tasting quite a few appetizers. For us New Year’s Eve and Super Bowl Sunday are all about the food. Oh, and isn’t there a ball dropping and a game we are supposed to be paying attention to? But, for us we start weeks…
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
I have been trying to get my family to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat, cookies, and candy. Now, that it is the holiday season getting them to eat less candy and cookies is almost impossible but I am giving them more fruits and vegetables. I bought 2 small spaghetti squashes thinking I…
Blackened Fish Tacos with Baja Slaw
Still looking for a quick, tasty dinner that you can have on the table in about 30 minutes? This is perfect for those nights when you need to feed have dinner on the table quickly. Verdict: This was an over the top hit. My children love Tilapia because it is a very mild fish and…
Slow Cooker Parmesan Tomato Soup
So last night what we really did was this: Because Buffalo was under so much snow the NFL moved the Buffalo vs. Jets game to Detroit. Then they offered free tickets! Of course we went. A 3 hour drive across Michigan to see the Bills? We are there. My children got to attend their first…
Roasted Balsamic Brussel Sprouts
Only one person in my family really loves Brussels Sprouts. I almost never made them because they usually go to waste. So, I decided this Thanksgiving to try to find a way to cook Brussels Sprouts so that everyone would eat them. Verdict: This was okay. They were not the most favorite side dish but…
Banana Bread Waffles with Walnuts
My parents will be visiting in less than 24 hours. We haven’t seen each other in about 18 months. We moved 600 miles west, then moved again and bought a house. Then my parents packed up their house of almost 50 years and moved about 600 miles south to be closer to my brother. So,…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter
What to make when the groceries are running low and the pantry staples just aren’t speaking to me? I had half a bag of frozen ravioli and half a bag of frozen tortellini. Neither was enough to feed my family of four, but together? I could make this work. We do not eat a lot…
Tofu Pad Thai
I am still learning how to cook with tofu. This is only my second attempt. I am hoping to branch out more and more with the different flavors that I can blend it into. I am thankful that my kids are up for anything. I can see my family starting to slowly embrace more meatless…
Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes with Feta Cheese
I am always in need of quick, easy side dishes to go with our meals. Once the potatoes were diced and in the oven it was 35 minutes until they were ready to go on the table. It was nice that I could cook the rest of the meal and not have to fuss over…
General Tso’s Tofu
Growing up my mother made 4 dinners every night until I left for college. There were very few nights that we actually all sat at a table and ate the same meal. Most of my recollections are us each eating something different while sitting in front of a television. A very ’70s way of family…
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…
