I love making French Bread Pizzas because they are so simple to make and can be on the table in 30-45 minutes. If you have leftover meat, some cheese, a sauce and a few spices you can make a number of different French Bread Pizzas. I chose to make a Barbecue Chicken French Bread Pizza….

Slow Cooker Potato, Ham & Cheese Soup
The cold weather has decided to stick around for a bit. It is mid-January so it is expected. It doesn’t mean I like the 0 degree weather with negative wind chills. I wonder sometimes why we live in the Midwest. I couldn’t take the heat in the South in the summer though so until I…
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs or What Happens When I Don’t Follow the Plan
Yesterday was one of those days that I don’t wish to repeat for quite a long time. In my brilliance I scheduled 3 doctor appointments (2 of which are out-of-town 35 minutes away), a cello lesson for my son and a library program for him all on the same day. Much of the day was…
Cheesy Quinoa, Chicken, and Broccoli Casserole
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,…
Cheesy Chicken Manicotti
This week is shaping up to be the week of casseroles and skillet dinners. We have concerts, meetings, shopping and schoolwork to finish up before the 19th. Thankfully school will be out after that and we can really relax before Christmas. G had his first 6th Grade Orchestra concert. They don’t start instruments here until…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter
What to make when the groceries are running low and the pantry staples just aren’t speaking to me? I had half a bag of frozen ravioli and half a bag of frozen tortellini. Neither was enough to feed my family of four, but together? I could make this work. We do not eat a lot…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Hamburgers – A Perfect Game Day Dish
This is probably the most unhealthy dish I have made for my family in quite a while. But, sometimes that is okay. I don’t know if you can tell but there are carrots on the plate and I served it with a side salad to make myself feel it better. I hate the Mommy Guilt…
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…
Ham and Cheese Pizza with Pesto Crust
I decided to take last week off to maintain my sanity. Last week was dance camp for my daughter, cello lessons for my son and getting us packed and the house cleaned for a double Feis in Milwaukee this past weekend. So, life has been crazy but I was able to keep up with cooking…
Baked Chicken Wings (with 3 sauces) and Loaded Baked Potato Salad
Sticky Sweet Garlic Wings (top), Spicy Ranch Wings (middle) and Traditional Buffalo Wings (bottom) with Loaded Baked Potato Salad As we near the end of the month I am trying to use up some of the leftovers in the freezer. I found a 5 lb. bag of chicken wings and thought “Eureka!” I felt like…
Ten Delicious Dishes to Change Your Mind About Chicken Breasts
I cook using chicken breasts in many of my recipes as I can usually buy them for $1.99 a pound or less when on sale. I usually buy them 20 to 30 pounds at a time so that I can use them the 6-8 week sale rotation until they will be back on sale…
