I love soup! Add a crusty loaf of bread and a simple green side salad and you have a delicious meal. So, simple to make too. Most of these soups can be made in the slow cooker, my preferred way of making soups, or on the stove top. Lasagna Soup (click for link to recipe)…

Check In: Day 336
Week 48: Every day feels like it is a bit closer to the “end” of Covid-19. I see more friends getting vaccinated. My mother had her first shot with no side effects. I know it is going to take time to get to where we can feel safe going out into large groups but at…
Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes
I love my pancakes and I make them a bit different each time. This extra hit of cinnamon with buttermilk makes for a slightly tangy dish. My kids are asking me for breakfast casseroles for “Breakfast for Dinner Thursday.” Yes, every Thursday we have breakfast for dinner. It is easy to make and tends to…
Blackened Cod
We don’t eat enough fish or salmon in our house. We love it but it is just not something we think about making. I am starting to stock up on more fish, salmon, and shrimp so we will eat it more often. Do you eat enough fish? Verdict: I love blacked fish. The sweet and…
Jacques Pepin Chicken with Garlic and Parsley (Persillade)
At about 2 am last night I was watching Jacques Pepin cooking videos on Facebook. I enjoy watching him because he makes it seem so easy to make meal and that is what I love. When I saw him make this dish I knew what was for dinner! Watching him make it in less than…
Slow Cooker Italian Beef – Chicago Style Sandwiches
We love to dip. Chips and dip. Bread to dip in olive oil. French fries to dip in sauces. It doesn’t matter. That is why we love this sandwich plus it has tons of flavor. It is simple to make the roast cooks in the slow cooker until you are ready to make the sandwiches….
5 Flavored Pancakes for Breakfast or Dinner
Happy Valentine’s Day! Pancakes for me are love. I made a post in 2016 about recreating our first Valentine’s Day. We were very poor and my favorite thing was Bisquik Pancake Mix (click for link to post). The most heartfelt gift I ever got, a box of pancake mix. My love language is obviously pancakes!…
Check In: Day 329
Week 47: I have to say getting out of the house and away for a bit has really helped me. I feel productive again and that I can accomplish tasks. I needed to clear my head and it was wonderful. My mother is scheduled to get her first Covid shot today. I had to schedule…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Potato Soup
To go from 75 degree days (well some of them were 50s) to less than 10 degrees overnight was tough. We had even originally planned to spend a few extra days in Georgia or Tennessee because my son had a college interview he had to be online to attend from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm….
Where Did I Go?
I had not eaten in a restaurant since March 10, 2020. I had one long weekend away from our home between March 12, 2020 and last week. I am a travel agent. My whole family loves to travel. My children went to Disney World in August 2020 because they needed a break and I knew…
Apple Fritter Casserole
The weekends tend to be my baking day. Because we have a bit more time and don’t have the pressure of getting everyone up and going it is easier to take the time to bake a sweet treat to add to our brunch. This dish is super easy and sweet so it fills those boxes…
Simple Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes
We are a breakfast for dinner family. At least once a week, usually Wednesday or Thursday because they seem to be the toughest day of the week, we have some sort of breakfast/brunch meal. I love eggy casseroles with all sorts of toppings mixed in because they can be made ahead of time and rest…
