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…
Pancake Muffins made with Breakfast Sausage
I should know better than just to blindly ask one of the other family members to take meat out of the freezer and then tell me what it is before they put it in the refrigerator to thaw. Too many times I have ended up with them telling me it is something other than what…
Barbecue Sauce Hot Dogs with Various Toppings.
Barbecue Hot Dog with Caramelized Onions and Broccoli Slaw I try to make dinners for my family that are different and tasty. I try to round out each meal with a salad and vegetable. To be honest I try to get 2 vegetables at each meal I can in addition to the salad. But, we…
My Take on James Beard’s Recipe for Beef Hash
I had about 3/4 of a pound of Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast leftover from the other night. I am one to use every little last bit of food possible and let nothing go to waste. Lately I have not done such a good job as I had to throw out an entire roast…
Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast
I had another beef roast in the freezer. The first thing I thought was “Oh no, not again.” It seems we have a beef roast lately at least once a week and I was running out of ideas of what to do with it to make into a different meal for my family. Well, back…
Slow Cooker Chinese Pork and Broccoli
I am working on cleaning out our freezers for the big Thanksgiving/Christmas baking season. I have pretty much cleaned out the refrigerator of all the stray items but still need to work on the freezer. I had four fairly large thick pork chops that I found in my freezer that needed to be used. I…
Italian Sausage with Roasted Balsamic Vegetables
With Veteran’s Day and then a SNOW DAY (yes, a real snow day) now behind us I can finally get back to posting. It is hard to write with my children around. That is mostly my fault because I love having them home so I tend to want to spend all my time with them….
Berry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
We love breakfast for dinner. I had been planning on making this for a couple of days. I just kept forgetting to put it together first thing in the morning so that it had at least 8 hours to sit before I cooked it. I finally got around to making it and we were all…
Loaded French Fry Casserole with Buffalo Chicken
I am still in a comfort food mood. It has now been raining for 7 days with occasional breaks but overall it is cold, rainy and well, just plain icky out. My comfort foods are meatloaf, mashed potatoes and anything with tons of melted cheese and bacon. This fits the last group. It was so…
Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash
My slow cooker has been working over time lately. I love that I can put a bunch of stuff in it early in the morning and then not have to think about dinner until I come home or I am getting the kids ready for our to go meals. I found this recipe on Pinterest…
Ravioli Casserole
Time seems to be slipping away lately. I need to stretch the 24 hour days into 30. But, since I don’t think that is going to happen I need to work smarter not harder. So, to that this uses frozen ravioli with a homemade sauce. Yes, you can used jarred sauce or whatever you like…
