Friday was insane so I did not get to a post about Thursday night’s dinner. My teenage daughter had a #DisneySide @homecelebration. It was lots of fun. The girls had a half-day of school so I picked them up and brought them to the house for a luncheon. They were so cute! They would all…

Slow Cooker Mexican Spiced Boneless Pork Ribs
We’re having a heat wave! Well, it really is 10 degrees out but the sun is shining! That makes all the difference in the world. Everyone I have met today seems in a good mood. Usually people have their heads bowed and their hands shoved in their pockets and are doing the quick shuffle as…
Skillet Chicken and Broccoli with Cheese
The weather still is yucky here and it seems like it is not going to return to “normal” any time soon. The high temperatures don’t even break half of what the average normal temperatures are supposed to be this time of year. Each day I hear the meteorologist say, “There is no end in sight…
Italian Sausage Patty Melt
The “Winter Blues” have definitely taken over. I hate being cold. The perfect temperature for me is between 67 and 72 outside. The -4 degree temperatures are awful! I don’t like snow, other than at Christmas. Even two weeks in Florida did not help as we came back to record cold temperatures. So, the desire…
Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Sauce
Still dealing with the fall-out from the stomach flu in our house. I thought mine would be gone in about the same 24-48 hours as everyone else. Of course not! I am now going on my sixth day. I do not want to feel queasy all the time. I started this post last week but…
Slow Cooker Gumbo with Quinoa
I missed a whole day yesterday. Because of a perfect storm of events I ended up staying in bed all day yesterday. Which sounds perfect to most moms but the stomach flu that accompanied the day was awful. I was the last to get it in our family and actually thought my Super Mom powers…
Slow Cooker Korean Pork Tacos
Getting back into the “real” world after vacation has been tough. The bitter cold and snow is just making things worse. I don’t like being cold so I tend to hibernate unless I really have to go out. I needed to pick up my son at school so I stopped at the grocery store for…
A Valentine’s Day Dinner with Love
When you think of Valentine’s Day dinners you do not typically think of pancakes. Normally, we don’t either. But, this dinner had great significance for us. This was our 20th Valentine’s Day together. Twenty years ago we were young, broke and incredibly in love. For our first Valentine’s Day my gift was a box of…
Chicken St. George
We have been on vacation for the past two weeks and just arrived home last night. It was a beautiful two weeks with only 1 1/2 days of rain and temperatures in my favorite area of 70 to 75 degrees just about every day. Sunshine was plentiful and I felt amazing. This is what we…
15 Family Dinner Conversation Starters for Tween and Teens
My family never seems to have a problem talking during dinner. I sometimes have to ask for them to settle down and actually eat their dinner. We sit at our little kitchen table each night, laugh, and solve the world’s problems. Sometime they are simple. Sometimes we have moral dilemma conversations that we will never…
Smothered Chicken Casserole
We are coming to the end of “N0-Buy” January in our house. That means lots of chicken and potatoes. Normally I serve lots of chicken but potatoes, especially white potatoes, are not used very often by us. That is probably why I have so many to use up now. “No-Buy” January is never easy but…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Spaghetti
I love my slow cooker. I say it every chance I get. It makes cooking dinner so easy at least 3 days a week. I know some people don’t like the texture of the shredded meat that often occurs with the slow cooker. One way to combat that problem is to sear the meat prior…
