I loved the idea of this dish. Simple. That’s what I need lately. Things that I can get on the table within an hour for everything including setting the table. Prep work definitely helps too. If you are making mashed potatoes getting them peeled and into ice water can save a bit of time at…

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Even in summer I love my slow cooker. I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…
Oven Roasted Corn
My daughter looked at dinner the other night and said, “You can tell it’s late Spring or early Summer.” When I asked what she meant she said our dinner was the clue. All vegetables we were eating were not frozen or from a can. She was right. I love getting as many fresh fruits and…
Cheddar Cheese and Apple Paninni
Can you hear the horses galloping? That is what I hear in my head as we are going through the last month of the school year. I feel like the horses are chasing me and they are getting faster and faster. I am still trying to take the time to cook dinner every week night…
Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes and Steak
I am in love with sweet potatoes right now. My kids are okay with them. As long as I keep cooking them I think they will start to get used to the taste. I remember when they were little the doctor telling us to have them try food up to ten different times before thinking…
Rachael Ray’s Cinnamon French Toast Casserole
We are heading into one of our busiest months of the year, March. This is the month that the schools try to cram everything they can into as it is not quite the end of Winter and not quite Spring Break. We have two talent show programs with four showings, a movie night, a dance,…
Thanksgiving Dinner – Green Beans with Brown Butter and Toasted Pecans
I haven’t posted over the last few days as we have been out-of-town. The day after Thanksgiving we left to head back home to visit family and for my daughter to get her braces off! We were so excited by the last part. No more 550 mile, each way, trips every 6-8 weeks. A huge…
Lemon Butter Tilapia
Some nights I am fighting myself to find something quick and fairly healthy to feed my children. I am just like every other mom in the world, busy. Tonight’s dinner was tough. I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, to go away for a few days and keep the kids on schedule for their…
Steak with Butter and Garlic Sauce
This has been a pork month. When I grocery shopped the first of the month every store we grocery shop in had pork on sale. We have had pork roasts, pork chops, pork ribs and ground pork. The other thing that was on sale was smoked sausages. We are tired of pork and sausages. I…
Apple Pie Praline French Toast Casserole
This was an interesting day. I had been planning on making French Toast for quite a few days now but I just never got around to buying the apple pie filling until today. While I was at the store I saw pecans. I love pecans but rarely buy them because they are so expensive. But,…
Chocolate “Bakery” Like Cake?
I LOVE to cook. I like mixing things together and making them taste amazing. Trying different combinations until it is just what I know my family will like. I don’t bake often. It is not something I enjoy. You have to be so exact in your measurements and there is not quite so much room…
Tilapia with Lemon Butter Sauce
I am trying to get my family to eat more fish. I keep seeing reports that we should eat fish 2-3 times a week. I can barely get them to eat it once a week. Even then it is usually met with “the face.” You know “the face” – the scrunchy nose, the pursed lips…
