It is the beginning of blueberry season here in Michigan. Which means in our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share we are getting 2-3 pints of blueberries each week. My children love to eat them right from the container but I save one out just to make blue berry pancakes with. As I was looking through…

Creamy Basil Pasta
Some days you just want comfort food that is easy. This was perfect for us. I didn’t get a picture of it with fresh basil sprinkled over the top so use your imagination. It had lots of flavor from the Italian sausage, basil, and Parmesan cheese. Super simple too! Verdict: This is a meal I…
Cream Cheese Danish Bars
Have people over all summer long? We wanted a sweet treat that was simple to make and serve and this certainly fit the bill. It is great for a morning treat with breakfast or an after dinner bite. We can’t wait to try this with other flavors and toppings! Verdict: I was skeptical that this…
Pesto Marinated Grilled Chicken
We are spending quite a bit of time at the beach or out doing things at night. Since the sun doesn’t set until 9:30 pm often dinner is at 9:00 or later for us. We like things that are not too heavy and super easy to make on these nights. Pesto marinated grilled chicken is…
Slow Cooker Ground Beef and Hash Brown Dinner
Yesterday we went and picked my daughter up after she has been at camp for the past 12 days. It was wonderful to see her! This was her fourth year and probably last time at this camp. Though she is still eligible to go next year, she will probably be too busy with getting ready…
Ham and Cheese Quiche
Tonight’s dinner was a recipe from my trusty old Joy of Cooking cookbook. This is how I adapted my recipe. It is more custard like than Quiche like. No one waited for it to cool before cutting in! This slice was falling apart as it was too warm when we took it out of…
Antipasto Tortellini Salad
Well, my birthday week is just about over. Thank you all so very much for your wonderful birthday wishes. They mean so very much to me. Our friends have been slowly leaving which is nice that not everyone left at once. We had 8 people staying at our house on Sunday. Which was fun. We…
Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Kale and Spinach
Things are a bit hectic this week. My daughter left for camp yesterday. I took her up and dropped her off. It was a bit bitter-sweet as I realized that this would probably be her last summer at this camp (even thought she could attend one more season after her senior year) but I know…
Walking Tacos
I forgot I had a 5:15 pm meeting yesterday afternoon so as I was rushing out of the house at 5:00 pm I was thinking that I haven’t even started dinner yet. I knew I had some ground beef and chicken breasts thawing in the refrigerator. What was I going to serve my family though…
Buffalo Chicken Macaroni and Cheese
This weekend was super busy so it is time to pull out an old favorite recipe. It’s not pretty but it is oh so good! This recipe was AMAZING! I knew what I wanted to make but when I saw the recipe for Buffalo-Chicken Macaroni and Cheese on Foodnetwork.com my menu changed quickly. I followed…
Slow Cooker Spicy Corn Dip
With a long holiday weekend coming up soon I am always looking for something different to take to parties. We actually have an appetizer/dip dinner every once in a while. This was perfect for dinner because it was only 2 hours in the slow cooker and my son could get dinner started when he got…
Simple Chili Cheese Dog Pizza with Herbed Crust
The first day of summer is usually a day to celebrate for us. The longest day of the year is a day we generally go to the beach or watch the sunset over Lake Michigan. Yesterday was cool and cloudy so those things were not going to happen. Changes in traditions are tough for my…
