I am all about saving money on my food bills. Pork and chicken tend to be the cheaper cuts of meat right now in our area. So, we eat lots of pork and chicken. I try to cook it a bit differently each time so my family does not realize they are eating the same…

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Now that the weather has turned to the bitter cold of January (-15 windchill yesterday) my slow cooker is going to be front and center for dinners. Yesterday I took a pork roast from the freezer and began to ponder what I could do with it. I haven’t done a pulled pork sandwich yet so…
German Skillet Dinner
I have been thinking about this dish all night. I am so excited to share it with you. I am not sure if it because my daughter helped me with creating it or because it is such a great dish for October. We sort of invented our version of the skillet dinner by playing with…
Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
Sometimes bacon can just make everything better. In our family we believe in the power of bacon. I haven’t tried chocolate bacon, bacon doughnuts or bacon cupcakes yet but believe me they are on my radar. But, we LOVE bacon. We all needed some healing power from bacon after a busy week. Whole boneless pork…
Spicy Asian Pork Chops
This was another simple meal for us. I started cooking the rice as soon as I put the pork on to cook and everything came out at just about the same time. Start to finish from when I started cooking the meal was about 30-35 minutes. Love these quick easy meal. Verdict: This was a…
Chicken with Rosemary Sauce
So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm. I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans. I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal. It was really dark by the time we…
Herbed Pork Roast with Glaze
Today is the first day since school let out that we have all been able to sleep in. No early morning doctor appointments, dentist appointments or getting my daughter to the school for her trip to Washington DC. Yes, I actually put my daughter on a plane with some of her 8th grade peers for…
Birthdays – German Dinner
It’s not every day you turn 14! The only time of year that I intentionally repeat dinners is on birthdays. In our house you are allowed to choose whatever you want for dinner on your birthday. My son chose pasta and meatballs last month. This month my daughter wanted a German dinner. Specifically, German potato…
Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
Slow Cooker Smothered Boneless Pork Chops
We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
This is not the best picture of the dish that is now my favorite summer side but it was all I had. This dish disappeared quickly. Now, I admit that we love vinegar in all its forms. The sweet with a bit of a sour bite after is one thing we look for in dishes. …
