Yes, we all have days where we cannot even get dinner to the table without trauma. So tonight we had a “snacky” dinner. Cheese, apples, pretzels, crackers, salami, sunflower seeds and sesame sticks. Not overly nutritious but combined with a movie in my bed it was just what my family needed.

Baked Italian Sausage and Pasta
I had Italian Sausage in the freezer and needed a quick weeknight meal so it quickly became a pasta bake. The sausage was frozen so I sliced it to cook quicker. I threw in a pepper and onion near the end of when it was cooking to soften slightly. When the sausage was done cooking…
Ham and Swiss Impossible Pie
I needed to find something quick using all the ingredients I had in my refrigerator and I came up with this. It is a take-off on Impossibly Cheeseburger Pie from Bettycrocker.com. It was a hit. Quick, easy and cheesy all the things my family and I love. Ingredients: 1 lb diced ham 1 Tablespoon of…
Chicken Alfredo Roll-ups
This recipe for Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups is originally from Mmm…Cafe. The recipe can be found at mmmcafe.blogspot.com which adapted the recipe from Artsyfartsymama.blogspot.com. I am going to say that mine look nothing like her beautiful Chicken Alfredo Roll-Ups but they taste AMAZING! I also added Ricotta to mine to make it even cheesier. Next time…
Macaroni and Beef with Cheese
I found this recipe on Pinterest which is from Michael Ruhlman’s Translating the Chef Craft for Every Kitchen. The Macaroni and Beef with Cheese recipe is on Ruhlman.com. I did not read this entire recipe the first night I went to make it until it was about an hour before dinner. Read through this recipe…
Cheesy Potato Casserole
This recipe is an adaptation from Food.com’s Mom’s Cheesy Potato Casserole aka Funeral Potatoes. This recipe originally contained cream of chicken soup but having a gluten-free child we do not use canned soups. So I just tried it without the soup. Although it probably wasn’t as “firm” we all thought it tasted good. I served…
Spinach Lasagna
I finally found a good, cheap soy free spaghetti sauce for my family and that made this dinner all the easier to prepare. I have a son who is soy sensitive so I usually make my own spaghetti sauce but I was able to find one made with olive oil. Ingredients: 1 box of lasagna…
Cheesy Ham and Broccoli Casserole
Having left over ham from last night’s Hawaiian Pizza I created a casserole with bits and pieces I found in my cupboards and refrigerator. I usually don’t follow a recipe when making casserole because too often they contain a can or two of Cream of Something soup. Having a gluten-free son we don’t use creamed…

Meat and Cheese Plate
No matter how much I love cooking for my family some nights are just too hectic to do what I want to do. I am still keeping up with the no repeat dinners so I had to come up with something quickly that we had not had for dinner yet. Voila! The beef stick,…
Baked Ziti
Put cheese on any dish and my family will eat it. They love baked ziti because of all the gooey cheese. I boil a 16 oz. box of ziti until it is softened but not too al dente. I pour 1/2 a jar of homemade spaghetti sauce in the bottom of a 13×9 pan. …
