Spaghetti Pizza Casserole (click for link to recipe) Casseroles are a huge part of my family cooking. I love that I can make a dish during my “free” time and it is all ready to cook when I am ready to bake it. These casseroles can be made up to a day ahead of time,…

Chicken, Green Bean and Stuffing Casserole (no creamed soups!)
Casseroles never photograph well, unless they are whole. But, boy do they taste great. I think it is the whole comfort food thing that we are all seeking right now. My entire family has been fighting a cold for about two weeks now. No one has been horribly sick but everyone is just feeling blah….
Perfect Oven Roasted Chicken
Lately it seems that I cannot get it together enough to cook on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Tuesdays are the worst because from 1:00 or 2:00 pm until 10:00 pm we are in meetings, lessons, after school activities or on the road somewhere in between. Thursdays are okay, but we do not get home until 8:00…
Country Sweet Oven Fried Chicken
Things are moving along. We are in our second week of school and there have been some bumps and groans but so far things are going okay. Now comes the real work. The first week back is always this lovely dance of getting to know you and now the real personalities on both sides will…
Barbecue Chicken Pizza with Caramelized Onions
We are all about the easy around our house. I knew there were going to be a few nights of quick meals so I bought several pizza crusts to have on hand. I can make pizza crusts but they never seem to turn out like the pizzeria type that I want. I have tried everything…
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…
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…
Easy Chicken and Broccoli
Standing in the kitchen at 6:00 pm with a pound and a half of raw chicken is not a fun place to be when your family is hungry. That is where I found myself the other night. I was looking through my menu options, I make a month of menus to cut down on those…
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…
Cheesy Barbecue Chicken and Biscuit Casserole
I am always looking for easy, tasty ways to get dinner on the table as quickly as possible. I try not to use prepared items in my cooking for the most part. I have found simple exchanges for canned soups, canned biscuits and bottled sauces. But, sometimes a mom has to do what a mom…
Barbecue Chicken Salad
The kids are coming back from camp. It will have been twelve whole days without children. I love my kids but this was the first time in 15 years that I have been away from them longer than a night or two and in the last 4 years I have always had one…
