I love weekends! Sleeping in, lazy days spent with the family and late dinners happen most weekends. I LOVE bacon. But, I am not a fan of cooking it first thing in the morning. The smell makes me feel nauseated. My children will tell you they very rarely get bacon for breakfast. I don’t mind…

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…

Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
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…
Bacon and Balsamic Onion Macaroni and Cheese
We are in all out comfort food mode in our house. It may have been the first day of Spring but last night we received word that my mother-in-law is in her final days. So, tomorrow we will head back home. I will probably not post next week but will start again just as soon…
Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza
Returning home after a wonderful vacation is never easy. It was tough coming back home after two weeks away in sunny Florida. When we left it was about O degrees, normal temperature with a windchill about -20. When we arrived in Florida they were having record tying or higher temperatures of 88-89 degrees with 90%…
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…
Three Meat Pizza
Life happens to all of us. It takes our best plans and turns them inside out and upside down. How do I keep us from eating out when days like this happen? By planning ahead. Really. I keep a stock of pre-made pizza crusts in the cupboard or the freezer, I have 2-3 packages of…
Loaded French Fry Casserole with Buffalo Chicken
I am still in a comfort food mood. It has now been raining for 7 days with occasional breaks but overall it is cold, rainy and well, just plain icky out. My comfort foods are meatloaf, mashed potatoes and anything with tons of melted cheese and bacon. This fits the last group. It was so…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Chicken
With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…
Old-Fashioned Meatloaf
I love meatloaf. If I want to make a comfort dinner for myself it is usually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. As the weather has been turning a bit cooler during the day I more than ever want real homey comfort food. Scouring Pinterest I saw this recipe for The Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Meatloaf. I…
Bacon Cheeseburger with Balsamic Onion Bacon Jam
The cheeseburger looks a bit gray in this picture but it looked better on the plate. I had a half a package of bacon to use leftover from the other night. I hate having food spoil especially bits and ends of jars and things I buy to make a recipe. I try to group several…
