My family has been a bit obsessed by bowls lately. I think it is such a novel idea that they can eat dinner out of a bowl rather than on a plate that they actually are eating more vegetables and grains this way. I didn’t have brown rice mix which is what I REALLY wanted…

Our Adventures in Creating Adventurous Eaters – Part I
Image from Google Images I had another conversation a few days ago with a mom who was convinced her children would not eat anything at all like I make for my family. I have this conversation quite often with parents and I have written about it several times on this blog. It usually starts with…
Sesame Chicken and Broccoli
We are stuck on chicken right now. Chicken breasts were only $1.59 a pound in bulk at our local grocery store so we have 30 lbs. of chicken in the freezer! Lots of chicken dishes will be appearing this month. We are just finishing up a No Buy January when we clean our cupboards and…
German Oven Pancake
I did a bit of digging to find out what is the difference between a Dutch Baby and German Pancakes. This is more a hybrid between the two dishes. The Dutch Baby has the same basic ingredients as this dish but is to be prepared in a special pan. The German Pancake is similar but…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili
The lower the pantry cupboards and freezer gets the harder it is to come up with quick easy meals. I am scouring the cupboards and freezer trying to put things together that make sense. We have quite a few cans of beans, tomatoes, and corn left from the November canned goods sale at our local…
Southern Fried Pork Chops
My children tend not to really like pork. They will eat it if it has enough sauce – garlic, soy, or even A-1. But, if I gave them a choice I think this would be the last choice of meat they would ask to have for dinner. I don’t over cook it. It is not…
Pork Medallions Piccata
We are still working our way through the freezer in “No Buy January.” That means quite a few larger cuts of meat that I am finding. I am cutting them down to make smaller cuts such as the pork loin that I bought on sale a month or two ago for $1.59 a pound is…
Barbecue Hawaiian Pizza
The ham is going away. I have used three meals from it – ham and baked potatoes, ham and cheese hashbrown casserole, and now barbecue Hawaiian pizza. My family isn’t tired of it because each dish has highlighted a different flavor and is something completely different. But, before they do tire of the ham I…
Ham and Cheese Hashbrown Casserole
It is not often I use canned cream of anything soups. Then tend to look and smell funny to my children so I usually make my own cream sauce from butter, flour, and cream or half and half. But, we were cleaning the pantry up and I had two cans of cream of potato soup…
Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with Roasted Vegetables
How easy is this dish? Both of my children worked on dinner together and there was almost no arguing! Really! My son made the rice and the sauce while my daughter put the vegetables on to roast and cooked the chicken. While my daughter was serving my son put out water and toppings such as…
Pierogies with Caramelized Onions or What to Make on a Night You Don’t Really Want to Make Dinner
Yes, there are nights that either my food plan fails me or we just don’t want to cook. We all have those days and to say we don’t would be ludicrous. There are certain things I try to have on hand for those nights I really don’t want to cook. When I ask others what…
Cheeseburgers on Homemade Pretzel Rolls
Sometimes my family just wants plain old cheese burgers. I understand. They look at me and ask for no baby greens, diced jalapeno, cream sauces, or other weird ingredients on top. So, I made a point of making plain old cheese burgers. Of course I had to put them on pretzel rolls but still… Verdict:…
