During the summer and most of the winter we don’t eat dinner until at least 8:00 pm. By then, in the summer, if it is warm the sun is getting low in the sky and we are just getting hungry. Since the sun doesn’t set here until well after 9:00 pm these days it works…

Crispy Baked Potato Chip Chicken Fingers – Teaching My Children to Cook
As I have discussed before I have certain things that I want to teach my children before they leave for college. Being able to make a meal, with or without a recipe, is one of them. I mean really cook too. We once had a neighbor who was so proud that each of her children…
Pineapple Chicken
We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop. We have some expenses coming up this month that we wanted to be sure we had enough in reserves to pay for. But, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound? Couldn’t pass…
Balsamic and Mushroom Chicken Skillet
My daughter and I went on her first field trip with her virtual school. They have held field trips all over the state during the last year and a half but they were always too far away, at an inconvenient time or like last year there was a snow storm on the day we were…
Kung Pao Chicken
I had a bit of extra time last night so I decided to make Kung Pao Chicken. I stopped at the store on the way home and picked up green peppers, red peppers, green onions, soy sauce and peanuts. I also picked up a few extra fresh ingredients for our next couple meals. But, I…
Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach, Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Cheese
Thanksgiving is coming up and I am trying to get all our shopping done on a budget. I have been scouring ads and comparing prices. Today we picked up the turkey because they were 50% off at one store ($.52 a pound). I used to get a much better deal but this seems like the…
Slow Cooker Chicken and Biscuits
Yes, another chicken dish. We still have quite a bit to use. Chicken thighs and drumsticks are $.88 a pound this week so we will be having quite a few dishes using those in the coming weeks. Some days just scream comfort food. This was one of those days. The kids and I started the…
Slow Cooker General Tso’s Chicken
If anyone has been paying attention you will see that four of the last six meals I have served to my family have been chicken breasts. Chicken breasts were on sale for $1.87 a pound this month so I bought 25-30 pounds of it for meals. Not a single person has complained about eating too…
Pesto Pasta with Roasted Red Peppers and Grilled Chicken
This was a meal I made by opening up the cupboards and started pulling jars. We had friends in town that we didn’t know when they were arriving or when they would be able to see us. They were traveling through town with their extended family and we knew we could have to leave at…
Simple Pan Fried Chicken Sandwich
There are days that dinner needs to be simple and on the table quickly. This was one of those nights. We spent the evening at the beach and were sitting down to dinner at 9:00 pm. This meal took 15 minutes to put together. We could have gone to a Drive Through for chicken sandwiches…
Almond Crusted Chicken over Salad with a Raspberry Balsamic Reduction
We love theme dinners in our house. Meals can be based on a country, a certain item in all the dishes like nuts or garlic, or even a color. We did have an orange food meal once. Notice, I said once. This meal is all about almonds. I was inspired by Nuts.com (click for link to site)…
Greek Chicken Kabobs with Cucumber Tomato Salad
This is the meal my kids wanted to have for dinner when they returned from camp. I had the chicken marinating in the refrigerator all ready to go when we got home but their concerts lasted far longer than we thought they would so we did not return home until late. The kids decided that drive-through…
