This was one of my kids favorite dishes. I made it easy by buying the lobster and mussels pre-cooked and flash frozen. Working as a tax preparer this is our busiest season so anything I can do to make meal preparation easier I take advantage of it during this time of year. The meal…

Kielbasa with Sauerkraut
This was another emergency meal for me. I needed something quick at 8:00 pm at night to throw together for dinner for my family and this is what I came up with. I added cut up veggies on the side and dinner was served in 15 minutes.
Week 10 of the No Repeat Meal Game
So we are moving into week 10 of the no-repeat dinner game. I have been doing well so far. A few times I have really, really had to stretch – Meat and Cheese Platter? But it worked for my family. We are learning quite a bit along the way too. We are still eating dinner…
Cheesy Ham and Broccoli Casserole
Having left over ham from last night’s Hawaiian Pizza I created a casserole with bits and pieces I found in my cupboards and refrigerator. I usually don’t follow a recipe when making casserole because too often they contain a can or two of Cream of Something soup. Having a gluten-free son we don’t use creamed…
Hawaiian Pizza
Sorry for the horrible picture. It was done quickly before dinner was devoured! This is a dish that I pull out every once in a while and every groans and complains about until they taste it and remember how much they actually love it. I made it very easy this time starting with a…

Meat and Cheese Plate
No matter how much I love cooking for my family some nights are just too hectic to do what I want to do. I am still keeping up with the no repeat dinners so I had to come up with something quickly that we had not had for dinner yet. Voila! The beef stick,…
Baked Ziti
Put cheese on any dish and my family will eat it. They love baked ziti because of all the gooey cheese. I boil a 16 oz. box of ziti until it is softened but not too al dente. I pour 1/2 a jar of homemade spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 pan. …
Impossible Cheeseburger Pie

I use The Impossibly Easy Cheeseburger Pie Recipe at Betty Crocker.com 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef or ground turkey 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz) 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix…
Steak with Potato Wedges and Asparagus
Tonight’s dinner was a small steak we broiled with Montreal Steak seasonings. Love that peppery flavor. Potato wedges drizzled with olive oil and baked in a 350 oven. A great easy dinner!
Make Your Own Homemade Subs
If you a Disney mom then you know that March 5th was National Platypus Day on the Disney Channel. This little fact did not bypass my 8 year-old son. Our dinner tonight was Make Your Own Homemade Subs. I bought turkey, ham, roast beef and Genoa salami for meat. Provolone, Swiss and cheddar cheeses with…
