My blog is about the game I play with my family. Making a different dinner every week night without repeating the exact same dish. I can use similar recipes with different meats or ingredients but there has to be at least one new dish at each meal. It is not just about the food. It…

Easy Oven Cheeseburgers – Great for a Crowd !
We arrived home late Monday night from our trip back to New York. It was such a great time but we were all exhausted. The suitcases came in and went to the basement and we had to pay a little attention to the cat who was still miffed that we left her with a sitter…
Peruvian Steak and Potato Stir-Fry – Loma Saltado
One last dinner from our archives. Tomorrow I will be back with daily dinner posts. Catching up from vacation is tough! Have a great day friends and enjoy Fat Tuesday! For us to eat steak for dinner is a rare occurrence. I try to keep dinners rather inexpensive. My kids say cheap but I prefer…
Irish Corned Beef Tacos with Guinness Sauce
Another of our most favorite dinners. This is a super easy delicious use for leftover corned beef! I am a bit late today in posting but my son had his 5th Grade Walk-Away Ceremony today. It was really a beautiful ceremony. After the awards were handed out they announced each child’s name and then they…
Cheeseburger Burritos
We are on vacation for a long weekend and I am re-posting some of our favorite and most popular meals. Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend! It has been a great vacation. The kids are returning from 12 days at camp. We got 3 letters from our son. They were cute. He said the…
Pineapple Chicken
We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop. We have some expenses coming up this month that we wanted to be sure we had enough in reserves to pay for. But, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound? Couldn’t pass…
Seafood Salad
Let’s get this out-of-the-way first. I grew up with “imitation” crab meat. I don’t think I ever tasted real crab or lobster until I was well into my 20s. It was just what we had. Now, I know there is this thing about real crab versus imitation crab. I get it. Real crab is delicious….
Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Strips
Even though I make many “different” meals for my family they still want “kid” food once in a while. I am not a believer in that there are kids foods and adult foods. Kids menus and foods began back in the 1920s because prior to that time most parents dined out without children. Starting in…
Porcupine Meatballs with Gravy
Getting down to the end of the month and grocery day is right around the corner! I do one big shop a month so we are in the last week before stock up day. Trying to use those little last pieces of meat in the freezer and wanting to stretch them farther I added cooked…
Slow Cooker White Turkey Chili
If you have read my blog before you know I am all about using every little last piece of something we have in our freezer, pantry and refrigerator before it spoils. That means I have to rotate my pantry shelves from time to time. When putting away your groceries in your pantry stock them like…
Pizza Stuffed Garlic Bread
I was looking for something different to use up some bulk Italian sausage that I had leftover from making stuffing for our Thanksgiving dinner. Still trying to use up all our bits of frozen meat in the freezer! I went on Pinterest and Google and all I could find were Zuppa Toscana (which I just…
Taco Braid – When Life Happens
Confession time. Life happens. You can have the perfect plans and still something can go wrong. Take dinner for example. You have your menu planned, you have the meat defrosting in the refrigerator or cooking in the slow cooker. Then life happens. The power goes out late in the afternoon so the meal in your slow…
