The other day my son and I went out to lunch downtown at The Food District as a special treat. He chose Macaroni and Cheese with Crab and Lobster and I chose the OB Glad Foccacia Pizza. My pizza was bacon, sausage, pepperoni, onion and tomatoes on foccacia bread. Both dishes were amazing! I was…

Macaroni and Cheese topped with Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
I have renewed my Disney blogging by committing to myself to blog at least once a week about Walt Disney World. Most of my posts are about food but some will be about rides, family fun, and as always fun with autism. One of my first posts was about the meal my daughter and I…
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…
Slow Cooker General Tso’s Chicken
If anyone has been paying attention you will see that four of the last six meals I have served to my family have been chicken breasts. Chicken breasts were on sale for $1.87 a pound this month so I bought 25-30 pounds of it for meals. Not a single person has complained about eating too…
Slow Cooker Rochester “Garbage Plate” Meat Sauce
There is usually a story about our meal or picture each night and that is true of this meal. We had a new friend over for dinner the other night and I struggled about what to make for dinner. I finally settled on making a dish from Rochester, New York, that would best represent us….
Slow Cooker Bolognese
So, this is happening real soon! I am so excited to be attending the Disney Social Media Moms Conference (#DisneySMMC) in Walt Disney World. I still have to get through a birthday party, a Feis, an Honors Breakfast, a blood draw and a dance class before we leave in a few days but it is…
Slow Cooker Beef Roast with Vegetables
This month is crazy busy in our house. All of the school teams, clubs and performing groups are cramming everything into March and early April to avoid Spring Break and preparing for finals. We only have two children yet we have Science O practices and regional, school orchestra and youth orchestra program, music lessons and…
Slow Cooker Mexican Spiced Boneless Pork Ribs
We’re having a heat wave! Well, it really is 10 degrees out but the sun is shining! That makes all the difference in the world. Everyone I have met today seems in a good mood. Usually people have their heads bowed and their hands shoved in their pockets and are doing the quick shuffle as…
Slow Cooker Gumbo with Quinoa
I missed a whole day yesterday. Because of a perfect storm of events I ended up staying in bed all day yesterday. Which sounds perfect to most moms but the stomach flu that accompanied the day was awful. I was the last to get it in our family and actually thought my Super Mom powers…
Slow Cooker Korean Pork Tacos
Getting back into the “real” world after vacation has been tough. The bitter cold and snow is just making things worse. I don’t like being cold so I tend to hibernate unless I really have to go out. I needed to pick up my son at school so I stopped at the grocery store for…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti
I love my slow cooker. I say it every chance I get. It makes cooking dinner so easy at least 3 days a week. I know some people don’t like the texture of the shredded meat that often occurs with the slow cooker. One way to combat that problem is to sear the meat prior…
Slow Cooker Potato, Ham & Cheese Soup
The cold weather has decided to stick around for a bit. It is mid-January so it is expected. It doesn’t mean I like the 0 degree weather with negative wind chills. I wonder sometimes why we live in the Midwest. I couldn’t take the heat in the South in the summer though so until I…
