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…

Pizza Hot Dogs
We just returned home from a week vacation back to New York. Though it was a fun time it was BUSY! We visited friends and laughed until our faces ached and our sides hurt. The kids danced in a Feis. We went to a 96th birthday dinner for my mother-in-law. Had an orthodontist appointment for…
Smoked Sausage with Pasta
I think I am now past all the computer glitches and malfunctions. It has been a maddening 2 weeks trying to get it all turned around. Just when you think you have it all something else “pops-up.” Ugh! So I am still on the comfort food theme for dinners. Tax season has 5 days…
Ricotta Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza
This is my second attempt at a non-traditional pizza. I had ricotta cheese leftover from a recipe I made several days ago and I needed to use it up before it started to spoil. I have this “thing” about not letting food go bad. I try to use up everything I buy so that I…
Loaded Cowboy Potato Puffs
On these busy back-to-school weekends we are trying to still cram as much summer fun in as we can before the snow flies. Saturdays are already book for the next month with dance competitions, festivals and trips. We will try to spend Sundays at the beach as long as the weather holds. We usually have…
Chili Cheese Frito Casserole
This dish was a part of a joke in my family. When anyone celebrates a 40th birthday party in my group of friends we celebrate by throwing them some outrageous “surprise” party. For one friend who is an English teacher we had bad grammar and spelling everywhere. Her cake read “Hapee Fourtieth Burfday.” Another friend…
Country Pork Ribs over Smashed Potatoes
My kids LOVE ribs. I think they are second choice only to Chinese take-out if we tell them we are eating out. I have been working on cooking them over the last few months. The types of sauces, cooking methods and types of ribs are mind-boggling. I have just started trying a bit of this…
Crunchy Chicken Casserole
Well, I guess September is going to be a month of chicken and ground beef dinners. Just completed our monthly shop (yes, I only shop once a month except for fresh produce and dairy). This week the best sales were on ground beef and chicken so several packages of each were just frozen. I cooked…
Confetti Macaroni and Cheese
After a long weekend of being sick and not being able to tolerate any solids I am at least back to cooking. Not eating but cooking. This was a dish that my children helped create because we needed to get everything ready to go to dance class and I was trying to figure out how…
Sausage Alfredo Pizza
The weather the past two weeks in Michigan has been down right Fall like. I have been craving pizza and needed to make something other than plain, old red sauce with sausage. I found this recipe for Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza on Allrecipes.com. I knew I wasn’t going to make a deep dish pizza as…
Slow Cooker Creamy Tortellini
I LOVE my slow cooker. I use it as much as possible and am always scouring the web for new recipes. This recipe is a mixture of several different recipes. I wanted something creamy but not soup, which was most of the slow cooker recipes using tortellini, and no meat. So, I tried this. It…
Slow Cooker Potatoes Au Gratin with Kielbasa
This dish didn’t turn out like I expected it to at all. It was actually better than what I thought it would be! I am trying to use my slow cooker as much as I can right now. The grocery store had 2 lb. bags of frozen diced potatoes on sale this week. Of course…
