I was thinking about creating a Thanksgiving Pizza for dinner but my ever fiscally responsible son reminded me we would need to buy turkey, ingredients for stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce. He was right. We should use what we have on hand first. So, we went searching through the freezers to see what we…

Tostachos (Tostados Nachos)
I am all for using up every little piece of food in my refrigerator and freezer before it goes bad. Every time I grocery shop I notice how all the prices across the store are rising so nothing irritates me more than when I have to throw away a vegetable or leftovers that got pushed…
Buffalo Style Mozzarella Pork Chops
Originally posted on What's for Dinner Moms?:
I finally forced my daughter to take a few nights off from dance class. We have been making the hour trip for the past 5 nights and I needed a couple nights off. She also needed to get some homework done as we are now 9 school…
The Best Oven Baked French Fries with Balsamic French Fry Dip
With time tight I decided to try these Al Fresco Grillers that I bought a few weeks ago. I thought with all the busy nights we would be having with dance classes and after school activities that these would be something to try for a quick, easy dinner that I didn’t have to think about….
Simple Slow Cooker Italian Vegetable Soup
Even though my son has decided he will eat meat on occasionally. I am still trying to keep us all eating vegetarian about 90% of the time. I am still buying fish, shrimp and tofu and not buying chicken, pork or beef. If we have any of those it either has to come from the…
Blackened Tilapia and Roasted Vegetable Taco Bowls
We were supposed to go away to a Feis this past weekend but due to car issues and my daughter coming down with a cold we missed for the first time, in five years, a dance competition that we had signed up for. I think that is pretty good considering we attend 10-14 Feis each…
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
We were working with one car this past week. In a larger city it wouldn’t be so bad. Buses, taxis, even friends would be able to help us. But after our car was towed Monday night were still waiting for them to fix/replace the fuel pump on Friday. Really, it takes this long? But, in…
Silver Beach Pizza
The trees are turning fast. Our tree on the edge of driveway is about 50-60% all ready. Many of the other trees on the street are still green but our maple tree is pretty well turned. What that means is I can no longer deny that fall really is here. The 45-50 degree nights should…
Slow Cooker Broccoli and Cheese Soup – Only 4 Ingredients!
We miss the huge parties we used to have back in Rochester. We would invite all our friends to our house for a Christmas Open House or to a cabin in the parks for our Annual Sledding Party. We would have 90-120 people throughout the day and it was always so much fun! We would…
Caramel Apple Pork Loin
We have a busy week and I am using my slow cooker as much as possible to try to make my life easier. I bought a pork loin last week and had planned to try a Honey Apple Pork Loin. I was putting all the ingredients in the slow cooker when I realized I was…
Buffalo Shrimp Tostadas
When I first told my kids about this dish I got “the Face.” You know the scrunchy face your kids make when they think something sounds weird or yucky. They both said, “Buffalo sauce on shrimp? That will be disgusting.” They love Buffalo wings and Buffalo sauce and I guaranteed them they would like it,…
One Pot Lemon Chicken and Rice
I had planned this for dinner the other night but when I went to get the chicken out of the refrigerator it was still frozen solid. So, instead I added the marinade to the bag of chicken and let it sit overnight to thaw some more. Sometimes our best intentions need to be changed and…
