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…
Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole
This whole time change thing has thrown my entire family off schedule. We didn’t even have brunch until almost 2:00 pm because we just couldn’t get motivated. So, of course that put dinner way off schedule. We spent the rest of the day cleaning and hanging pictures so everyone was really hungry when it finally…
Joy of Cooking Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce
Not a great picture but this kind of sums up the kind of week I have been having. Honestly, sometimes I don’t want to make dinner. I wait and wait hoping that inspiration, or at least someone else offering to make dinner, will kick in. That rarely happens in weeks like this. I have my…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Back to my slow cooker! I love this thing. It’s that busy time of year and with a teacher conference, a dentist appointment, volunteering at the school book fair and working so dinner needed to be quick and easy. I found this recipe for Cheesy Chicken & Rice from kmhoho.wordpress.com and as I read it…
Pizza Pot Pie
This is one of those dinners that start out as one thing and ends up completely different from what you imagined. This month is incredibly busy so I am trying to make having dinner not add to the stress of our lives but rather enhance it. Our dinner time is the time we can sit…
Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Steak
I am in love with sweet potatoes right now. My kids are okay with them. As long as I keep cooking them I think they will start to get used to the taste. I remember when they were little the doctor telling us to have them try food up to ten different times before thinking…
Cheese Stuffed Hamburgers with Oven Baked Sweet Potato Chips
This is a tough one today. I am just not feeling like sitting down and actually writing. That is rare for me. I love to get up and start writing about food and my family. Today started with an appointment and then seemed to go downhill from there. My routine is off which sets my…
Disney on Ice – Princess and Heroes: A Night Off
Yesterday after school we picked up the kids and headed out to see Disney on Ice. It was a complete surprise to the kids who didn’t even know where we were going until we pulled up in front of the arena 2 hours later. At first my daughter was upset because she had been expecting…
Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
Rachael Ray’s Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
We are heading into one of our busiest months of the year, March. This is the month that the schools try to cram everything they can into as it is not quite the end of Winter and not quite Spring Break. We have two talent show programs with four showings, a movie night, a dance,…
Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken
My daughter does not like rice. I am trying every way I can to cook it so she will eat it. I have tried brown rice, white rice, rice mixes. I have cooked it with spices, chicken stock, beef stock and tried putting stuff like corn, peppers, onions in it. She will grudgingly eats a…
Mediterranean Egg Bake
I love weekends. I wish weekends were five days long and week days were two. We enjoy being together as a family. For Christmas this year I planned a year of family dates. I planned twelve family adventures, one for each month, and bought gift cards or put cash in envelope for each month plus…
