It’s summer vacation in our house. I am still trying to get the kids to eat more fruits and vegetables during the day so I came up with an idea yesterday to make a salad bar every day for the kids. I can prep the vegetables ahead of time and just mix the items up…

Slow Cooker Chicken Tostadas
Last night was my son’s last cello recital for the school year. All the students did a great job. It was a short program so we were home by 8:00 pm. During the summer we eat even later than normal. The sun doesn’t set until about 9:30 pm so we tend to be out and…
Philly Cheesesteak Pasta Bake
Our local OutCenter flag draped with a black ribbon says it all. The 90 degree days are gone for a while so we are back in comfort food mode again. With temperatures hovering in the low 60s and just a general sadness that seems to be in the air from the events of this past…
Eggplant Parmesan
School and my daughter’s Irish dance recital are now finally over. All of the school year obligations, except for my son’s cello recital on Tuesday are done! There was a huge sigh of relief in my house last night. These are most of the students from the dance school my daughter attends. It was a…

Baked Chili Cheese Dogs
I had a meeting last night so I needed a meal that could be put together quickly and easily once I got home. Once again I looked to my slow cooker. Most of the meal could be made ahead of time and just assembled when I got home or it was so easy I could…
German Style Cabbage Rolls
This is a recipe handed down from generation to generation in my family. I have changed it for my family but it is still almost the exact same recipe my great-grandmother used. Do you have a dish like this in your family? This is the dish we make for holidays in our house. It is…
Creamy Chicken Noodle Casserole (No Canned Soup Recipe)
Last night was definitely a comfort food night. Even though summer is just a few weeks away the temperatures have dropped just a bit and there was a slight breeze. It was still nice out but it almost had a fall feel to the day. This was the first night we were all home together…
Cheesy Sloppy Joe Stuffed Potatoes
This past weekend my partner and I had to go to two different places for the weekend. My daughter and I headed to a Feis (Irish dance competition) in Detroit, MI while my partner and son headed to Rochester, NY for a family baby shower. Both weekends were crazy so meals are going to be…
Monterey Chicken Skillet Bites
I am always looking for simple dinner ideas. Now, I am a bit picky about my simple dinners. I prefer they not have canned soups, packaged spice mixes and can be made with minimal pans and dishes. I do make exceptions for each of these on occasion but for the most part I try stick…

(click for link to original recipe) Now, you know I don’t follow recipes but look at them for suggestions….
Steak, Roasted Red Pepper, and Feta Pizza with Balsamic Reduction
Well, the Unofficial Start to summer has come and gone. That four-day weekend seemed to pass by in a flash. From now until Labor Day our little town will be bustling with tourists. We tend to avoid the local beach and downtown area from now until after Labor Day. They get so busy and there…
