We needed something really quick and easy for dinner tonight that would travel fairly well for our “To-Go” meals. I still have lots of ground beef to use and had left over cheese sauce from last night’s dinner that I really wanted to use in something. I hate throwing food away and am always looking…

Bratwurst Macaroni and Cheese
We are back from our quick trip back home to visit my mother-in-law. At 96 years-old she just entered a nursing home. It has been tough on everyone but being 550 miles away from her as she makes this transition has been heartbreaking. She has gone from stage 3 Alzheimer’s to almost stage 7 in…
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…
Cheddar Barbecue Burger with Special Sauce
I am counting the days until the end of Christmas vacation. I LOVE having my kids home but both have been sick since Christmas Eve and it is starting to wear them and me out. It is nothing horrible but this horrible sore throat, cough and lingering cold symptoms. They have been eating lots of…
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…
Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers
We are still eating comfort foods this week. With Christmas right around the corner we are going for easy meals that are filling and feel like a warm hug. Tonight we had Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers, tomato soup and peas. This meal took me back to my college days. Verdict: We all loved this meal. …
Nachos with Beef
My kids really wanted to go out to eat. Being just over a week to Christmas Day the budget cried, “No.” So, we started to brainstorm about what we could make that would make them feel like they were going out. They wanted nachos, soda and dessert. I started Googling restaurant style nachos. Every single…
Creamy Garlic Chicken
I am still making casseroles for dinner. This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first. I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole. I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…
Creamy Taco Soup
I have a feeling I am going to be making lots of soups and casseroles until after Christmas. Time seems to be slipping away from me. I am thankful that I had almost all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. I like to have it all done and wrapped by December 1st so I can…
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…
One of Those Days Dinner
Yes, we all have them. We tend to feel overly guilty about them too. Those dinners we view as “bad” or “unhealthy.” I stopped at the grocery store yesterday on my way to pick up the kids for dance and tried to find them something quick and easy they could eat in the car for…
