So I bought ribs for the first time. I have always been intimidated about cooking them. My children always order them when we go out so I decided that since they were on sale this week I would give it a shot. All I did was trim some of the fat off the ribs and…
Kung Pao Chicken
My son loves to try different ethnic dishes. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Kung Pao Chicken from Winner Dinners and thought it would be easy to make and filling for a quick weeknight dinner. As with all my dinners I adapted the recipe to my family’s tastes. I added broccoli and carrots which…
Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
I needed a quick dinner so that I could get the family out the door and to the Science Fair for my son and middle school scheduling night for my daughter. So, this was another to-go dinner. As anyone who has read my posts in the past knows, at least two nights a week my…
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…
Mexican Stuffed Shells
This recipe started from a Pinterest recipe for Mexican Stuffed Shells from The Girl Who Ate Everything. As you know if you have read any of my other posts or recipes I tweak my cooking to what I have on hand and what I know my family will eat. I loved the idea of this…
Buffalo Chicken Wing Casserole
Still on my Pinterest theme today. This was one of those recipes that I had almost everything I needed but still had to make a bit of substitutions. I NEVER use cream of something soups or premixed dressings if I can help it. I started with this recipe for Buffalo Chicken and Potatoes at Holy…
Garlic Baked Shrimp
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest I thought I had hit the Holy Grail of recipes. A Weight Watchers recipe with garlic and shrimp. Two of my families favorite items. I should have been a bit more skeptical when I was making this that something wasn’t quite right. The original recipe I followed is…
Chicken Tetrazzini
My mom used to make this all the time when we were children. As an adult I never quite understood how she made it until I ran across this recipe on Pinterest for Martha Stewart’s Chicken Tetrazzini. I tend not to even attempt Martha Stewart recipes because I think they are too fussy and time-consuming…
Honey Barbeque Meatloaf
Yes, this is another Pinterest recipe. I have been obsessed with Pinterest lately. With my current state of insomnia late at night I am often looking for new recipes to try. This one seemed to contain everything my family loves – sweet and comforting. I started with this recipe for Honey Barbeque Meatloaf from Can…
Caramelized Green Beans
I hate vegetables. There I said it. I admit it. I eat them as quickly as I possibly can at the beginning of my meal to show my kids that even Mommy eats her vegetables. But, UGH! I hate the taste. Until this recipe. It is delicious. I could eat a whole pan of these…
Feta Cheese and Bacon Stuffed Chicken Breasts
This is another Pinterest recipe. I have been really interested in Pinterest lately. Okay, obsessed with Pinterest lately. But this has all the flavors I knew my family would love. Feta and bacon. My children eat feta cheese right from the container. I can’t keep it out or it will be gone within 5 minutes….
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…
