About once every three months we order Pad Thai out. We love it. And like most dishes we order out we stop and think why don’t we make this more often because we can make it just as good or better and have it more often. Pad Thai is fairly easy to make but just…

Loaded Potato Skins
If you follow me at all you can probably tell that my mind is on football and appetizers. Yes, my Buffalo Bills lost the other day but it was a great run! Cannot be unhappy with how far they went this year. We are in an appetizer for dinner phase right now at our house….
Asian Chicken Lettuce Cups
Several times over the past few years we have ordered Asian Lettuce Cups while out to eat as an appetizer. Every time we think we should make these at home. They are fairly simple to make and we made them back in 2017 based off a recipe on Food. com (click for link to original…
More Super Bowl Sunday Recipes
Today we will see if our beloved Buffalo Bills make it to the Super Bowl. I am just amazed they have made it this far! Twenty-five years ago was the last time they made the playoffs. To be a Buffalo Bills fan is to be a true fan of the sport and the team. It…
Check In: Day 315
Week 45: So how is everyone doing on their intentions for 2021? Mine have been up and down but with the sun shining the last two days and it being almost 40 degrees in Michigan? I am pushing forward. Fortitude. It is easy to push ahead when the days are sunny and the temperatures feel…
Ooey Gooey Simple Brownies
Some days you just want something sweet. We had some ice cream but it was vanilla. Plain vanilla ice cream was not going to do. We had all of the ingredients in the pantry for this. This is a yummy hot brownie (remember I love making new brownie mixes). It is drippy and sweet. Add…
Garlic Butter Salmon
I took yesterday off to regroup and spend the day watching the inauguration and the surrounding news programs and fetes. I don’t expect much to change but I am hoping for calm for a few days. With all the “classic” dishes the last few days, Classic Style Meatballs (click for link to recipe) and Classic…
Classic Beef Stroganoff
I have been making quite a few “classic” recipes lately. Comfort food and familiarity seems to be what my family is craving. I bought a few roasts that I cut into steaks. I decided to use them over a couple of days in different dishes so that I wouldn’t have to freeze them. I love…
Classic Style Meatballs
The other day I let my daughter decide which she wanted to do. Make dinner or clean. She chose dinner once she heard my suggestion of homemade meatballs. She hates mixing and cooking meat – I think she will be more vegetarian once she is on her own. But, she thought meatballs sounded really good….
5 Dishes for Super Bowl Sunday
Is your American football team still in the hunt to play on Super Bowl Sunday? Whether they are or not you are going to want to start thinking about snacks for the big game. If you want something lighter and tastier the veggie pizza is perfect, there is a hot dip, a veggie and meat…
Check In: Day 308
Week 44: Things seem much better today. My daughter got into her school of choice this week. We have paid the deposit and fingers crossed she will be headed back to New York for school in August. She is so happy. She will be 10 hours from us but close to family and friends so…
Cake Mix Donuts
I was craving something sweet the other day when I remembered we had all sorts of cake mixes in the pantry. I had bought them awhile back not knowing when we would get to the grocery store again when our area went back to limiting going out to only necessary. I don’t like to go…
