Finishing the last day of cleaning out our freezer. We have a turkey and a few bits and pieces that we are pulling to our upstairs freezer to use in the next week or they need to go. I love having a clean freezer to start again. We had a package of chicken left to…
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
We are pretending it is almost Spring. We had grilled hot dogs with macaroni salad and brown beans. We almost never have hot dogs so the kids thought this was a real treat. Sitting on the floor in the living room pretending that it is Spring may be the way I survive the next month…
Country Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
The cold has broken and it was over a 90 degree temperature change between yesterday and last week. Things are getting slushy so we are trying to get everything up and off the driveway and sidewalks so that it doesn’t freeze. At least it is warm enough now to do this. End of the month…
Beef Lo Mein II
From -30 ish to almost 50. Yes, this is the Midwest. My entire family was happy to get out of the house though. We had been doing 15 minute rotations of shoveling to try to get the cars dug out. My wife got a bit of frostbite on the back of her leg. Her jeans…

Week 5 Christmas Treats: Chocolate Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes
I really like making a treat a week. I thought this was going to be tough for me and it is, but it is also fun. I am going back and remembering things I used to make 20-25 years ago that I haven’t made in ages. The family is loving being taste testers too. Baking…
Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza
Not a great picture but this was a yummy pizza. This pizza was created because we had chicken to use up and I am always trying to find new ways to make the dishes we love in new ways. One of my favorite things is to take a meal we love and turn it into…
Copy-Cat KFC Bowls
We were having a bad day and I was going to take my son over to KFC to pick up lunch. The kids had a half day for mid-terms and wanted a hearty lunch. I decided instead to stop at the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for the bowls that he likes so…
Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
Temperatures for Wednesday are predicted to be -10 to -15 without windchill and about -40 with windchill warming soup and bread sound really good to me. This is one of our favorite soups. You can add bits and pieces of whatever you have left in your vegetable drawer – diced pepper, sliced carrots, or celery….
Chicken and Biscuits
Still waiting for this cold snap to end? We are. Hopefully by the end of February. Well, we live in the Midwest it is the way it supposed to be in the winter. I just miss taking our vacation to somewhere warm during winter break because the school schedule no longer has a winter break….
KonMari Your Pantry
I am in love with Marie Kondo. If you may have seen her Netflix show, read her books, or even heard your friends talking about her on Facebook. I was aware of her about a year ago but really didn’t understand the concepts until I saw the Netflix series. Some people are saying she says…
Christmas Treats Week 4: Chocolate Chip Pie
You may have noticed I changed my weekly Christmas Cookie day to Christmas Treats. Since I really wasn’t making many cookies right now I decided Christmas Treats was a much better name. We are planning on doing lots of baking in the next week or so. As I watched the weather forecast tonight and the…
