Million Dollar Spaghetti

This recipe has been all over Pinterest and Facebook for years. I have always resisted trying it or making a twist on it because it is so popular. I am an old-fashioned, easy, home cook. I am not about the popular. Although, I have wanted an Insta Pot to try but we are not quite…

Hot Chicken Salad Sandwich Sliders (on Hawaiian Rolls)

More of these little sandwiches. They are so versatile you can fill them with almost anything you can think of to get tons of different meals or hearty appetizers for a party. These can also be made with cold chicken salad but with the cold weather it seemed much nicer to me to have a…

Cinnamon Roll Pancakes

There was a video on Facebook and on Pinterst last year showing pancakes similar to these that looked so simple to make. Now they were perfect little cinnamon roll looking but I haven’t been able to make them like they do. We adapted this recipe for us and it works. They are not beautiful but…

Teriyaki Slow Cooker Pork Loin

The picture above says Slow Cooker Chicken Teriyaki, it is not. It is a pork loin. I was thinking about how I could also use this on chicken lost my mind and wrote chicken on the picture. In the meantime I was talking and accidentally erased the original picture so I only have this copy…

Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole

My daughter had her friends over the other night for their annual Christmas sleepover. They have done this the past five years. It has changed some in size but the one thing they always have is laughter. We loved listening to them laugh and giggle. A friend recently wrote about how that last time you…

Cauliflower Pizza

I see cauliflower pizza crust recipes all over the place. I have been fairly curious about them, I am always up to try something new. But, I hate the thought of making something and wasting all the ingredients. We were at the grocery store and I saw these crusts on sale and thought I would…

Slow Cooker Creamy Turkey Chili

Happy New Year to all! Hope this year brings you all the dreams you are wishing! Determination. That is my touchstone word for 2018. Starting out right by using all that I have. Cleaning out the freezer this month is a good place to start. Use up all those bits and pieces that you have…

My Most Popular Posts of 2017 and Blog Share!

The title of this is the best of 2017 but I guess it should be the most popular posts of 2017. One of my top recipes this year has been for the Reuben Style Hawaiian Slider Sandwiches from June 2016 (click for link to original post). These little sliders are still my favorite of all…

Simple Taco Pizza Appetizer

With the new year fast approaching and football playoff season right around the corner in the US I am always looking for simple appetizers and finger foods that I can serve without a lot of fuss. This dish is super easy to make but if you are having tacos before you make this appetizer make…

Simple Chicken Taco Bowls

I know the few days after Christmas I don’t want to cook, clean, or move. I had a few chicken breasts to cook and just was NOT in the mood to cook. Out comes the slow cooker. My daughter has even gotten in on my love of the slow cooker. Her first question when I…

French Onion Pork Chops

My daughter hates onions but she loves French Onion Soup. Part of this I think is because of all the drippy, melty cheese that is on the soup. This recipe has all the cheese and lots of great flavor. Verdict: Confession, I didn’t make this meal my partner did. We have been nursing the remainder…
