So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Moussaka Like Casserole
Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer. I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant. I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…
Creamy Garlic Chicken
I am still making casseroles for dinner. This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first. I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole. I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…
Skillet Lasagna
Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners. Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic. I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator. Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done. Half an…
Creamy Taco Soup
I have a feeling I am going to be making lots of soups and casseroles until after Christmas. Time seems to be slipping away from me. I am thankful that I had almost all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. I like to have it all done and wrapped by December 1st so I can…
Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs
This is a very strange picture. I get that. But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly. They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs. Not my first pick for a meal…
Pork en Croute
I wish I had a better picture of the pork en croute than this one but it all kind of fell apart as soon as I started cutting into it and it really wasn’t that beautiful to begin with. I knew I wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner this year so I began searching Pinterest…
Betty Crocker Egg Nog
This is for my kids. They LOVE egg nog. Not the kind you buy in a carton or the thick gloppy stuff you cook they prefer the version from the Betty Crocker’s Cookbook for Boys and Girls. It is a fairly simple recipe and they can make it by themselves. This time of year they…
Thanksgiving Dinner – Green Beans with Brown Butter and Toasted Pecans
I haven’t posted over the last few days as we have been out-of-town. The day after Thanksgiving we left to head back home to visit family and for my daughter to get her braces off! We were so excited by the last part. No more 550 mile, each way, trips every 6-8 weeks. A huge…
Lemon Butter Tilapia
Some nights I am fighting myself to find something quick and fairly healthy to feed my children. I am just like every other mom in the world, busy. Tonight’s dinner was tough. I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, to go away for a few days and keep the kids on schedule for their…
Chicken Parmigiana with Sauce
It has been ages since I made Chicken Parmigiana. Since my son has been gluten-free almost 5 years ago now I try to limit having to make two meals every night when I can. I have learned to “adapt” our dinners for him so I usually divide everything without gluten into 1/3 for him and…
Three Meat Pizza
Life happens to all of us. It takes our best plans and turns them inside out and upside down. How do I keep us from eating out when days like this happen? By planning ahead. Really. I keep a stock of pre-made pizza crusts in the cupboard or the freezer, I have 2-3 packages of…
