This was a fun meal that turned out much better than I thought it would. A few weeks ago our local grocery store had a sale on all beef hot dogs. So, of course I bought four packages (won’t be on sale again for 4-6 weeks!). Then I had to think of ways to make…

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…
Emeril’s Seafood Mac and Cheese
Our lives are undergoing another shift soon. My children will move up from elementary school to middle school and from middle school to high school. I don’t know how this could be happening. I swear they just entered pre-school yesterday. Another shift is that my daughter, the one going into high school, has decided to…
Mexican Casserole – Cinco de Mayo
We spent the last weekend in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at two Irish Dance Feis. We had been once before but only for one night. This time we spent two nights and had a bit of time to explore. We ended up at a German Beer Haus that was wonderful. Long family style tables with great beer…
Slow Cooker Ground Beef Philly Cheesesteaks
Mondays are always the worst day of the week in our house. It just seems to be hard to get the motivation going to start the week ahead. I usually try to not schedule any appointments or meetings on Mondays because I just cannot get moving. But, because our schedules are extra busy right now…
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…
Ham & Cheese Mashed Potato Pancakes
I needed a quick and easy dish for dinner last night as I knew we had to be out of the house one hour after getting home from school. I searched my refrigerator and knew I needed to finish off the last of the ham, vegetables and mashed potatoes leftover from Easter Dinner. What do…
Tyler Florence’s Simple Chili Cheese Dogs with NO Canned Chili
We are slowly re-entering life. After the week of family togetherness for calling hours, the funeral, eating out every meal and being in hotels we had a case of the plague go through our house. It started on the way home with my son waking in the middle of the night with a stomach bug. …
Taco Pizza
Gahhhh! It’s been one of those days. My computer has refused to connect to the internet until now. Our whole house is wireless, which I love sometimes. But, then there are days like these when it all goes fzzzzt. Ugh! So, I am just getting around to posting – in between picking up a child…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Back to my slow cooker! I love this thing. It’s that busy time of year and with a teacher conference, a dentist appointment, volunteering at the school book fair and working so dinner needed to be quick and easy. I found this recipe for Cheesy Chicken & Rice from kmhoho.wordpress.com and as I read it…
Sausage Hash Casserole
Two more nights until vacation. Two more meals to try to create from my quickly dwindling pantry and refrigerator supplies. We are surprising our son with the vacation so every time he asks, “Why don’t you just go to the store and get x or y?” I have to tell him that it’s not pay…
No Dough Pizza
We are still in a “No-Buy” January mode that is helping me clean out my basement pantry and freezer. We are in full on saving mode for our Walt Disney World trip. So, I need to find dishes that use things I normally stock in my pantry, freezer and kitchen and are fairly simple and…
