Follow my blog with Bloglovin One of the ways we changed our Christmas this year was that we decided to give experiences rather than things. Each child got at least one set of tickets to an event that they would like in the area. Last night we went to see “The Wizard of Oz” touring company…
Classic Hot Reuben Dip
Who doesn’t love a good Reuben? My family loves corned beef and I thought this would be a perfect dip for our little party. The best part was how simple it is to make. You can make it the night before your party, cover, and refrigerate until about 35-45 minutes before you are ready to…
Teriyaki Slow Cooker Pork Loin
The picture above says Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki, it is not. It is a pork loin. I was thinking about how I could also use this on chicken lost my mind and wrote chicken on the picture. In the meantime I was talking and accidentally erased the original picture so I only have this copy…
Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
My daughter had her friends over the other night for their annual Christmas sleepover. They have done this the past five years. It has changed some in size but the one thing they always have is laughter. We loved listening to them laugh and giggle. A friend recently wrote about how that last time you…
Cauliflower Pizza
I see cauliflower pizza crust recipes all over the place. I have been fairly curious about them, I am always up to try something new. But, I hate the thought of making something and wasting all the ingredients. We were at the grocery store and I saw these crusts on sale and thought I would…
Slow Cooker Creamy Turkey Chili
Happy New Year to all! Hope this year brings you all the dreams you are wishing! Determination. That is my touchstone word for 2018. Starting out right by using all that I have. Cleaning out the freezer this month is a good place to start. Use up all those bits and pieces that you have…

Smashing My Blog Goals and Setting New Ones
I have so much to say thank you to all of you for. Every year I set goals for my blog in how I want to do things and yes, even the dreaded numbers. Despite a computer crash in September and being only able to post using my phone and tablet I kept going. Lots…
My Most Popular Posts of 2017 and Blog Share!
The title of this is the best of 2017 but I guess it should be the most popular posts of 2017. One of my top recipes this year has been for the Reuben Style Hawaiian Slider Sandwiches from June 2016 (click for link to original post). These little sliders are still my favorite of all…
Simple Taco Pizza Appetizer
With the new year fast approaching and football playoff season right around the corner in the US I am always looking for simple appetizers and finger foods that I can serve without a lot of fuss. This dish is super easy to make but if you are having tacos before you make this appetizer make…
Simple Chicken Taco Bowls
I know the few days after Christmas I don’t want to cook, clean, or move. I had a few chicken breasts to cook and just was NOT in the mood to cook. Out comes the slow cooker. My daughter has even gotten in on my love of the slow cooker. Her first question when I…
Christmas Dinner
My favorite turkey sandwich on toasted white bread. We actually don’t cook on Christmas Day. Everything is made on Christmas Eve and we snack through both days on all the food. There is a 20 lb. turkey with stuffing, Pigs in the Blanket (our family German version of Cabbage Rolls), Apple Kuchen, Christmas cookies, and…
