After the mess the other night things are now back on track. I had my daughter make the chicken to prove that mistakes happen and we move on. They are not permanent. She did a great job. We were at Western Michigan University yesterday and the kids saw two take-out delivery trucks stopping at the…

Slow Cooker Simple Apple Chicken
Yesterday I did not post anything on my blog which is unusual for me. Something had to give and yesterday it was my blog. Everything is good but the day can only hold so many things. When I looked back over the last 11 weeks I realized I had only missed posting 6 days. Not…
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice Bake
Mediterranean flavors are one of my family’s favorite flavors. The brightness of the lemon, the tang of the garlic and the spiciness of the oregano all combined together are delicious. I am generally not a fan of drumsticks and thighs but our supermarket had them on sale recently for $.49 a pound. I bought about…
Chicken Drumsticks and Vegetables
Even with playing this game of making a different dish every weeknight for my family, for almost two years now, I try to save money on my grocery bills. Drumsticks this week were $.49 a pound. Drumsticks are not my favorite choice in meat but the kids love them and they can be made in…
Chicken Caesar Salad
So, school has started and we begin the balance of lessons, classes and homework. Dinner once again needs to be thought out and planned ahead of time. Yes, I plan my meals a month at a time but you really can do it with just a week worth of meals if you want. If you…
11 Casseroles and Slow Cooker Meals for Busy Nights
It’s back to school time all over the country. That means fall and busy schedules are heading our way! The best way I have found to have dinner as a family on busy nights is to plan ahead. Knowing when we have late meetings or lessons I know whether I need to have the meal…
Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas
Frugal. I love that word. I choose to spend my money on certain things and not on others. We love our vacations and having our children take a wide variety of classes and lessons. They are not free. So, I choose to not have new furniture, carpeting or the most up-to-date seasonal clothing. It’s my…
Slow Cooker Roasted Chicken
There was a television show when I was a child that I would watch in the afternoon after school. It was called “Get Smart.” There was a bumbling agent, Maxwell Smart or 86, who battled KAOS with Agent 99. He was always getting himself into situations that he needed saving from and one of his…
Fried Rice with Chicken and Broccoli
Yesterday was an interesting day. Part of my son’s Autism is that he is unaware of what is happening with his body. He has trouble with telling when he is in other’s personal space, he can be sick and not know it or he can seriously hurt himself and not know it. He told me…
Slow Cooker Chicken Tostadas
Last night was my son’s last cello recital for the school year. All the students did a great job. It was a short program so we were home by 8:00 pm. During the summer we eat even later than normal. The sun doesn’t set until about 9:30 pm so we tend to be out and…
Monterey Chicken Skillet Bites
I am always looking for simple dinner ideas. Now, I am a bit picky about my simple dinners. I prefer they not have canned soups, packaged spice mixes and can be made with minimal pans and dishes. I do make exceptions for each of these on occasion but for the most part I try stick…
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff II
Ah, three more weeks. That is all we have left in this school year. Now that most of the shows are done we only have a dance recital (and its rehearsals), a cello recital and a school picnic left. Well, other than getting both kids through finals. So, I am still having us sit down…
