It’s German Fest in many areas so brats and pretzels are a perfect way to celebrate. This is one of those recipes that I didn’t quite have time to do correctly so I cut a few corners. You know we all do this. Especially on nights where dinner needs to be quick or we got…

Barbecue Beef Sandwiches
I still have quite a bit of ground beef leftover from last month. I buy 20-30 lbs. of meat at a time when it is a really good sale but at the same time it needs to be used before it goes bad so I make sure I rotate my meats freshest on the bottom….
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole
I made the Enchilada Sauce the other day then I made this Slow Cooker Enchilada Casserole with the sauce. You can make both the sauce and casserole on the same day or make the sauce one day and the casserole the next. Whatever will best fit into your schedule. Verdict: This was a delicious spicy…
A Few Things I Have Learned with My Blog
When I was little I used to love to play with food. Often to the exasperation of my mother who would say how expensive all that food and ingredients were. I understand that now, I didn’t then. You don’t want to waste your food budget on items that don’t taste good or use exotic ingredients…
Slow Cooker Chicken with Mushroom Gravy
So, the picture is a bit strange on this dish but my kids both liked it. I needed a quick dish to drop in the slow cooker so that we could eat in shifts and I could be out the door quickly. I had a bag of chicken breasts and after a quick search through…
Simple Comfort Food – Easy Poutine
Some days you just want comfort food. Poutine (click for link to original recipe) is comfort food. French fries drenched with gravy and melty cheese curds. If you make it the correct way you cut the potatoes, fry them up, make your gravy and then when the gravy is hot pour it over the warm…
Roasted Salmon Tacos with Lemon and Feta Cream Sauce
My postings have been a bit sporadic lately. I am posting entirely from my phone or tablet since my laptop died two weeks ago. This is such a minor thing in the scheme of life but it is entirely frustrating to me as it takes so much longer to create a post and I don’t…
Roasted Vegetable, Pesto and Chicken Pizza
Pizza is a great simple dinner when I don’t have a lot of time to get dinner on the table. I love the variety of topping you can put on it too. Our CSA share has been full of zucchini, summer squash, egg-plant, tomatoes, and large red peppers. I hate having anything go to waste…
Cheeseburger Tortellini Casserole
Whenever anyone asks how I come up with different meals I tell them take the things you like and the flavors you like and turn them into something else. Sandwiches turn into casserole or pizzas can be turned in soups. My kids ask for simple meals like a hamburger or hot dog every so often….
Breakfast Sliders
My family loves breakfast for dinner every once in a while. I like breakfasts for dinner because they tend to be super easy and everyone loves it! These sliders are a take off on several other sliders I have made including Meatball sliders, Reuben sliders (one of my most popular recipes to date), and of…
Mexican Coleslaw
Some days the side dishes are the star of the show. I am always looking for something new. When I first mentioned this both of my kids groaned when I said coleslaw. They both don’t care for the mayonnaise based sauce. But, I told them this had more sour cream than mayonnaise they were interested….
Garlic Potatoes Au Gratin
Having lots of computer problems in our house. My laptop is out to be fixed so I writing on my tablet. Something that I am not used to at all. So please be a bit patient with me. Yesterday was the first day of school for both kids. Today my daughter has her first college…
