When I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Grinders from BigRedKitchen.com I was just waiting for a day that I could try it. It looked simple enough and my family loves a good sandwich. The best part was that it could be modified so that each person got exactly what they wanted in their…

Manwhich Casserole
So during the school year we travel an hour, each way, to dance classes 3 days a week. That means after school we immediately get in a car and head out. Even now during the summer we are still heading out 2 days a week. So, I need meals that are quick, easy and can…
Spaghetti Pie
My family loves Spaghetti Pie but this is not the normal recipe we use. Being on a strict budget after vacation at the beginning of the month I did not have any ricotta cheese in the house and trying to finish out my “No Buy July” (except for fresh fruits and vegetables) I had to…
Philly Cheese Hot Dogs
This month we are on the eat cheaply plan. We recently went on vacation and have tons of fun things planned for the month but it leaves little cash for groceries. As a stay-at-home mom I am trying to make my budget stretch as far as possible. Recently they had $.99 hot dogs on sale…
Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner
This is another one of those recipes that I started with what I could find on-line and then ventured off into unknown territory as I was missing some of the ingredients in the original recipe from Pillsbury.com for Skillet Lasagna. This was again a dinner for my family to eat on-the-go. It traveled well although…
Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I thought once school ended things would slow down and we would have leisurely dinners in the evening on the patio under little umbrella lights. Who was I kidding? I think things are busier than ever. I am still having to create dinners to go at least once a week. We are spending a great…
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
So this was definitely a I am really not too sure what I am making but our refrigerator contents are getting low and all I have is ground beef, meal. My children do not like plain old hamburgers or cheeseburgers and I was running out of time to get dinner on the table. Then the…
Cheeseburger Frittata
As we are finishing eating out of our pantry, refrigerator and freezer to clean them all out it is getting harder and harder to come up with meals. The only thing I am buying is a few fresh fruits and vegetables and dairy. Other than that ingredients must all come from staples found in my…
Marinated Feta over Greek Hamburgers
My family LOVES Greek flavors in food. Lots of oregano, parsley and garlic are in many of our dishes. One of their favorites is our version of Greek Hamburgers (recipe at bottom of page). When I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Marinated Feta I knew it would be a hit in our family. My…
Taco Salad (includes recipe for Taco Seasoning)
This recipe is part of one of my favorite memories from when I was in college. We were all poor college students who were running out of money on their meal cards at the end of the semester. We received an invitation to a dinner party where we were each to bring one fairly inexpensive…
Ham and Swiss Quiche II
So another day of me not thinking about dinner until just about 30-45 minutes before I need to have something on the table. I stood in front of the dwindling refrigerator wondering what I can have that will not be a repeat meal for my family. I came close. Not a great picture but this…
Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
