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,…
Slow Cooker Hot Sandwich
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Grinders from BigRedKitchen.com I was just waiting for a day that I could try it. It looked simple enough and my family loves a good sandwich. The best part was that it could be modified so that each person got exactly what they wanted in their…
Pan Fried Pork Steaks
Things are finally starting to slow down here. School will start a month from today. Boo! I love having my kids home for the summer. This is the first time they have had 12 weeks off for summer vacation. Usually we get about 7-8 but since we moved and the school year here is shorter…
German Style Pigs in the Blanket Casserole
As you can probably tell from most of my posts my favorite things to cook are casseroles, skillet dinners and slow cooker dinners. They let me mix all the ingredients together, walk away and let it cook. Yes, I enjoy the fancy dinners once in a while, but right now my family life comes first…
Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole
My family loves breakfast for dinner. They would like it if I made breakfast for them 3 times a day. I like breakfast foods just not as much as they do. I had a package of breakfast sausage I wanted to use so I searched for a recipe that thought everyone would like and would…
Pepperoni and Sausage Calzones
I like to make things easier on myself when I can. A few months ago I bought a Fleishmann’s Italian Herb Bread Mix when it was on sale and I had a coupon. Yes, I try to shop as cheaply and simply as I can. But, it has been sitting in my cupboard since…
Spaghetti Pie II – with Ricotta Cheese
This is normally how I make Spaghetti Pie. I tried the sour cream and cream cheese version that I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago (recipe here) but I prefer this Spaghetti Pie. For my family it was a toss-up. They liked them both for different reasons. My son hates ricotta cheese so I…
Parmesan Pasta Salad
We are nearing the end of our “No Buy July” month and my cupboards are getting pretty bare. I am having to become more and more creative in my meals. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing from Grumpy’s Honeybunch. The recipe sounded delicious but I did not have…
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
Pork has been incredibly cheap at the grocery stores lately so my family has been eating plenty of boneless pork chops, pork roasts, pork loins…. You name it we have eaten it. I am trying a different recipe each and every time we cook it. I had this huge roast in my freezer and wanted…
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…
Cinnamon Cream Cheese Coffee Cake
I have an ice cream family. They love ice cream. They would eat ice cream every day, twice a day if I let them. I am however not a fan of ice cream. Just not something I love like the rest of my family. I would prefer a great dish of mashed potatoes or a…
Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I realized recently that my kids are getting spoiled by my cooking. We went to a Renaissance Fair over the weekend and because my daughter was one of the “entertainers” we got a free lunch. It was very simple meal and meant to feed a large group of people. It was white bread sandwiches with…
