I am a “Real Mom” home cook. I am not trained in any form of cooking or baking. I have two children and a spouse that like to be fed each day and I try to accommodate them the best I can. We have dance lessons, cello lessons, Science Olympics, Lego Robotics and library groups…

Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry
It’s almost Christmas and I am still trying to keep our food budget from breaking the bank this month. I am trying to save money to use towards nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch and dinners. I still need to buy wine and meat for those meals and don’t want to dip into the…
Chicken and Broccoli
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day just the way we intended. We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 3-4 years. We played Scattergories and laughed until our sides hurt. We napped. We made a simple dinner, together. We truly enjoyed just the four of us…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
Slow Cooker “Healthier” Butter Chicken
So when I read this recipe for Slow Cooker Butter Chicken from Damn Delicious.net it threw me off a bit. I couldn’t figure out why people kept referring to Butter Chicken when this recipe has no butter in it. Then I did some research. The British used butter and heavy cream to make this Indian…
10 Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes for Fall
I love Fall! The great sleeping weather, the crisp apples and the smell of cinnamon everywhere you turn. This time of year my slow cooker is working overtime. I love coming home to a dinner about 90% complete. Adding a salad, sides or a bit of spices to the pot make the meals complete. These…
Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches

Chicken Divan
I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…
Ten Delicious Dishes to Change Your Mind About Chicken Breasts
I cook using chicken breasts in many of my recipes as I can usually buy them for $1.99 a pound or less when on sale. I usually buy them 20 to 30 pounds at a time so that I can use them the 6-8 week sale rotation until they will be back on sale…
Fourth of July Week – Grilling and Salads
I decided rather suddenly to take last week off from blogging and our dinners. We had company for the first part of the week and I was a bit fearful of feeding him some of my first attempt dishes so I decided to stick with the tried and true. Then it was my birthday and…
Grilled Marinated Chicken
One of the best ways I have found to save money (I love my Disney trips and need to save for them) is to try and buy all my staple grocery products when they are on sale. Most sales happen every 4-6 weeks so when I find items such as chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks…
Garlic Chicken Pesto Pizza
I did not get a chance to post yesterday. My partner had a simple procedure but it took much longer and was a bit more involved than we originally thought. So, what was meant to be a simple 2-3 hour thing turned into a half day. Then it was physical therapy for my daughter, dance…
