Some days you just want comfort food that is easy. This was perfect for us. I didn’t get a picture of it with fresh basil sprinkled over the top so use your imagination. It had lots of flavor from the Italian sausage, basil, and Parmesan cheese. Super simple too! Verdict: This is a meal I…

Garlic Basil Chicken
I was reading an article in the Boston Globe from 2012 about a study about Life at Home in the 21st century (click for link to article). It was interesting because I wonder in the 5 years since this article was published have things changed? Have we decluttered as we move toward a more minimalistic…
Slow Cooker Creamy Tomato Basil Soup
Last weekend while we were in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my daughter ordered tomato soup and grilled cheese. She mentioned how I never make tomato soup. She could not remember the last time I made it so I decided it was time to make some again. When I pulled up my Slow Cooker Tomato Basil Bisque recipe…
Spaghetti Sauce or Sunday Gravy
I have been thinking quite a bit about instincts lately. You know that little voice deep down inside you. Intuition. A gut feeling. Jiminy Cricket. We all have it. Sometimes we ignore it but sometimes we can’t avoid it because it keeps coming back again and again. The times I KNEW I should have turned…
Flamingo Pizza
Did you know that there is an International Pizza Expo held in Las Vegas, March 8-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center? Neither did I until a few weeks ago. They have seminars and exhibitors in all things pizza and pizza related. I don’t know about your family but my family LOVES pizza! Think of…
Simple Sausage Soup
I realize with all the sweet treats and appetizers I have been posting I am a bit behind on my dinner postings. I am saving them up for when I am taking a break during Christmas vacation. With all the cookies and treats I have been posting I realized this morning that I have only…
Slow Cooker Parmesan Tomato Soup
So last night what we really did was this: Because Buffalo was under so much snow the NFL moved the Buffalo vs. Jets game to Detroit. Then they offered free tickets! Of course we went. A 3 hour drive across Michigan to see the Bills? We are there. My children got to attend their first…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
Pork Chops and Potatoes – One Pan
I love the end of the school year. It cannot come soon enough for us. We love being home together for three months. But, for the next 7 school days life is hectic. I am doing the big change over in clothes, coats and shoes. I put everything in bins sorted by person. So when…
Bruschetta Burgers
This was another night where dinner needed to be on the table rather quickly and all I had in the refrigerator for meat was thawed ground beef. My children know I do not make plain old hamburgers so I had to think quickly. I found one tomato, some mozzarella, spices and left over mini sub…
Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole
This whole time change thing has thrown my entire family off schedule. We didn’t even have brunch until almost 2:00 pm because we just couldn’t get motivated. So, of course that put dinner way off schedule. We spent the rest of the day cleaning and hanging pictures so everyone was really hungry when it finally…
Mediterranean Pizza
I needed a quick meal that would travel well for our usual Tuesday and Thursday drive to dance classes, a one hour drive each way. I had nothing planned and time was running out to get a meal ready that could be eaten in the car. I pick my son up from the bus stop…
