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…

Oven Roasted Corn
My daughter looked at dinner the other night and said, “You can tell it’s late Spring or early Summer.” When I asked what she meant she said our dinner was the clue. All vegetables we were eating were not frozen or from a can. She was right. I love getting as many fresh fruits and…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli in Tomato Cream Sauce
Yes, that does say Cheese Tortellini AND Ravioli. I bet you can all guess what happened. I remember I had bought two packages of tortellini back a few months ago when they were on sale because I try to only buy items when they are on sale. What I didn’t remember is making another dinner…
Cheddar Cheese and Apple Paninni
Can you hear the horses galloping? That is what I hear in my head as we are going through the last month of the school year. I feel like the horses are chasing me and they are getting faster and faster. I am still trying to take the time to cook dinner every week night…
Mini Rye Cheese Appetizers
For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we eat mostly appetizers and the day after on the 26th we eat all the leftovers. This is one of the leftovers. We always have a discussion when we serve these. Most people have usually had them somewhere before but other different names – Mini Greek Pizzas, Onassis pizzas,…
Vegetable Lo Mein
We have been on a HUGE Chinese food kick lately. We love the flavors and my kids love noodles and rice with anything. Plus I love that I can use up the bits and pieces of stuff from my refrigerator in it. I had bought two bags of broccoli slaw mix when it was on…
Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini
I LOVE my slow cooker. I use it as much as possible and am always scouring the web for new recipes. This recipe is a mixture of several different recipes. I wanted something creamy but not soup, which was most of the slow cooker recipes using tortellini, and no meat. So, I tried this. It…
Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips II
My daughter had a friend over for dinner last night. I asked if there was anything she didn’t like and the only answer I got was spaghetti. Well, I wasn’t going to serve that anyway so I thought I was fairly safe. But, I don’t do kid food very well. We are not a hamburger,…
Easy Pad Thai
This was a recipe my son and I made together. He needed to make a recipe from a cookbook for his summer library reading program. We looked over my cookbook collection (yes, I really have a BIG collection) and he chose a Pad Thai recipe from Pinterest. Now, he mostly chose this because it sounded…
Mediterranean Pizza
I needed a quick meal that would travel well for our usual Tuesday and Thursday drive to dance classes, a one hour drive each way. I had nothing planned and time was running out to get a meal ready that could be eaten in the car. I pick my son up from the bus stop…
Chili Rellenos Casserole
I am not a fan of chiles. Ever. I don’t like overly spicy or hot things but when I saw this recipe I knew that my children would love it because they are always asking for authentic ethnic foods. Although I don’t make authentic anything I thought this would make them happy. I found this…
Zucchini/Squash Parmesan Crisps
I am fortunate in that my children really do like most vegetables. But, I am searching for new ways to serve them as we are getting tired of the same boiled or roasted vegetables over and over again. I saw this recipe on Pintrest and had to give it a try. The Zucchini Parmesan Crisps…
