Wow, another snow day today! That makes three this week. I need to keep everyone focused and moving forward because changes of schedule in our house can be difficult. They start to sleep in later, which causes them to stay up later, so they sleep in later…. Until their days and nights are flipped. So,…

Chicken and Broccoli
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day just the way we intended. We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 3-4 years. We played Scattergories and laughed until our sides hurt. We napped. We made a simple dinner, together. We truly enjoyed just the four of us…
General Tso’s Tofu
Growing up my mother made 4 dinners every night until I left for college. There were very few nights that we actually all sat at a table and ate the same meal. Most of my recollections are us each eating something different while sitting in front of a television. A very ’70s way of family…
Chicken Divan
I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…
Pork Divan Casserole
One of my kids favorite books is “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.” Alexander has everything go wrong during his day. When things go wrong in our house we look at each other and ask, “Are you having an Alexander day?” Now, I didn’t really have an Alexander day entirely but…
Broccoli and Ham Brunch Casserole
As we begin the New Year it seems that everyone is making resolutions. Mine is to get more fruits and vegetables into my children. We do really good at dinner time. We usually have at least one or two vegetable sides plus a spinach salad with all kinds of vegetables. It is breakfast and dinner…
Herbed Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
This is my last casserole until after Christmas. Then I will have to see what I can do with all the leftovers I am sure we will have! Last night’s dinner started out with as Cheesy Chicken Ranch Casserole from the Finding Joy in the Kitchen.com. Of course I didn’t have half of the ingredients…
Slow Cooker Chinese Pork and Broccoli
I am working on cleaning out our freezers for the big Thanksgiving/Christmas baking season. I have pretty much cleaned out the refrigerator of all the stray items but still need to work on the freezer. I had four fairly large thick pork chops that I found in my freezer that needed to be used. I…
Pork Lo Mein
We were headed home on Sunday night from a long day of playing with nothing planned for dinner and two very hungry kids. I knew I needed to get dinner on the table quick with whatever I had in the refrigerator. We thought of spaghetti and sauce, meatball sandwiches and cans of soup. Yes, we…
Easy Beef and Broccoli
My son had a friend over for dinner who, to say the least, is a VERY picky eater. I decided to treat him like one of my own children and just make dinner as usual. He told me he didn’t like steak or broccoli when I served this but, he asked for seconds. This was…
Pierogies with Bacon, Caramelized Onions and Broccoli
This meal was just from what I had in the refrigerator and freezer. I am trying to use up all our “supplies” so that I can start refilling this summer. So, other than buying a few fresh items my grocery shopping is extremely limited. I used boxed Mrs. T’s Pierogies in this recipe. They worked…
Kung Pao Chicken
My son loves to try different ethnic dishes. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Kung Pao Chicken from Winner Dinners and thought it would be easy to make and filling for a quick weeknight dinner. As with all my dinners I adapted the recipe to my family’s tastes. I added broccoli and carrots which…
