My children do not like mayonnaise potato salad. Once in a while I can get them to eat a bite or two if I add lots of eggs and mustard to it. When I saw this recipe I knew my children would like it. There is almost no mayonnaise in it. Plus, it had the…

Roasted Garlic and Potato Slow Cooker Soup
This was one of those days that we needed to have dinner available at several different times for everyone. You know I love my slow cooker for nights like this. Everyone can serve themselves and with a green side salad and a slice of bread this was a meal that was perfect for nights like…
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops
I can’t believe that everyone was home before 8:00 pm the other night. It was such a treat for all of us to be together at 6:00 pm and cooking dinner together. That hasn’t happened in quite a while. One of my kids sets the table and gets the condiments ready while the other pours…
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff II
Ah, three more weeks. That is all we have left in this school year. Now that most of the shows are done we only have a dance recital (and its rehearsals), a cello recital and a school picnic left. Well, other than getting both kids through finals. So, I am still having us sit down…
Hungarian Sausage Stew with Ale
I saved this recipe for Hungarian Sausage Stew with Ale (click for link to original recipe) from the July 2012 issue of Food & Wine magazine . I rarely make anything from this magazine although it is one of my favorites to read. I always thought the recipes sounded too difficult for a home-cook like myself. Every…
Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
A sure way to tell that summer is on the way in these parts? The fountains are back on! Of course it has been in the 40s and low 50s and I don’t think many people are going to be running through them very soon but they are on and that means tourists are on…
Fighting the Breakfast Rush – Banana Muffins
Today my daughter turns 16! Sixteen, it seems impossible. Everyone told me, “Enjoy it all time will fly past you and before you know it they are grown.” I am thanking God that I have enjoyed each and every moment. Oh, they weren’t always easy moments but from the beginning when she was very sick and…
Orange Ground Turkey Noodle Bowls
As we get closer to the end of the school year time for meals is getting shorter and shorter. I have to be super organized and have our meals planned out to avoid picking up a pizza or ordering in Chinese food. Our menu for the next week includes: Tuesday: Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic and…
Smoked Sausage and Bean Slow Cooker Soup
Another slow cooker day! I am trying to get my freezer cleaned out again this month as two weekends away and one birthday already this month have put a dent in our cash flow. Tonight is my daughter’s birthday party and next week is her actual birthday. So, we are trying to limit our spending…
Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole
Wednesdays are one of the few days that we actually eat dinner at a normal time. We are late eaters. We like to have dinner together so we are sitting down to dinner any time from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. But, Wednesdays are generally a bit earlier as no one has anything after 6:00…
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese – A Birthday Dinner
I didn’t get a chance to post about my son’s birthday dinner last week. This was what he really wanted for his birthday dinner, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. We first made this sandwich about 7 or 8 months ago at his urging and he waited until his birthday for me to make them again. They…
Ginger Glazed Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Last week I posted our menu for the week. It was heavy on slow cooker meals because we are in the crunch time for the end of the school year and all the activities, clubs and classes both of my children are involved in are trying to fit in those last meetings and events. That…
