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…

Cheesy Hamburger Soup
The weather seems to have gone crazy lately. It has been beautifully warm like the summer was supposed to be. Yet, it has been crazy cold at times. A slight taste of what is to come? I have been at the grocery store for quite a bit lately to pick up those one or two…
Creamiest Macaroni and Cheese
Yesterday was the first day back to school for both kids. I decided to celebrate the first day by making my daughter’s favorite dish, macaroni and cheese. She has been begging me to make plain, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese. What she means by that is nothing added in – no shrimp, beef, tomatoes, veggies…. She…
Cod Au Gratin
This is another month of tight budgets. With all the summer fun we have been having and back-to-school right around the corner I am ever mindful of money right now. I am trying to use as many items as I can out of our freezer as possible. Recently I have been allowing my children to…
Potatoes au Gratin with Ham
I love comfort food. I would eat mashed potatoes with gravy and meatloaf every day for dinner for weeks on end if the rest of the family would let me. The rest of my family are dessert eaters. I hardly ever eat ice cream or cookies. I would far prefer a side of corn casserole…
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…
Ham & Cheese Egg Bake
I had a little piece of ham sitting in the freezer that I needed to get out of my freezer. I searched Pinterest but couldn’t find just what I wanted. I did not want bread or potatoes in the dish. All I wanted was something simple that did not have to set for hours before…
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…
Mediterranean Egg Bake
I love weekends. I wish weekends were five days long and week days were two. We enjoy being together as a family. For Christmas this year I planned a year of family dates. I planned twelve family adventures, one for each month, and bought gift cards or put cash in envelope for each month plus…
Individual Barbecue Cheddar Meat Loaves
Though the temperature on our vacation in Florida left me feeling limp and tired all the time the cold here is not helping anything either. It has warmed up a bit lately but the dampness is still leaving me with that feeling of deep inside my bones cold no matter what the thermometer says. So,…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Loaded Tater Tots
Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…
