Other than fresh fruits and vegetables another item my family needs to eat more of is fish. We all actually like seafood very much but I just don’t tend to cook it that often. I am going to start striving to incorporate seafood at least once a week in our meals. I know fried fish…

Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Every once in a while my family loves a good, home-cooking casserole. The right combinations in a casserole can almost feel like a warm hug from when you were a child. They can evoke memories from your past. I always find it amazing to stop and think about the way food effects us emotionally and…
Boneless Barbecue Pork Ribs
I am all about saving money on my food bills. Pork and chicken tend to be the cheaper cuts of meat right now in our area. So, we eat lots of pork and chicken. I try to cook it a bit differently each time so my family does not realize they are eating the same…
Teriyaki Stir Fry with Chinese Noodles
I am still trying to get my family (and myself) to eat more vegetables. I am serving larger salads with more ingredients than lettuce, tomato, spinach and onion. I am putting them in just about every entrée I can and serving 1-2 vegetable sides per meal. The other night I decided to just stir fry…
Smoked Sausage Hash with Fried Eggs
I am still cleaning out my pantry and freezer with a “No Buy January.” Except for some fresh produce and dairy I am hoping to have both my freezer and pantry empty by the end of January. My refrigerator is pretty sparse right now and I am working on weeding out all the condiment and…
Barbecue Chicken French Bread Pizza
I love making French Bread Pizzas because they are so simple to make and can be on the table in 30-45 minutes. If you have leftover meat, some cheese, a sauce and a few spices you can make a number of different French Bread Pizzas. I chose to make a Barbecue Chicken French Bread Pizza….
Slow Cooker Potato, Ham & Cheese Soup
The cold weather has decided to stick around for a bit. It is mid-January so it is expected. It doesn’t mean I like the 0 degree weather with negative wind chills. I wonder sometimes why we live in the Midwest. I couldn’t take the heat in the South in the summer though so until I…
Eye of Round Roast
As you may know if you ever read any of my blog posts I am EXTREMELY frugal when it comes to purchasing food. I would rather use my money for things like vacations, fun little side trips with my family, parties, etc…. So, I try to only buy non-fresh items (meat, canned goods, beverages) on…
Cheesy Scrambled Eggs or What Happens When I Don’t Follow the Plan
Yesterday was one of those days that I don’t wish to repeat for quite a long time. In my brilliance I scheduled 3 doctor appointments (2 of which are out-of-town 35 minutes away), a cello lesson for my son and a library program for him all on the same day. Much of the day was…
Slow Cooker Veggie-Beef Chili
This post is a bit late today. Just like everyone else, life sometimes gets in the way. Today it was three doctor appointments, out-of-town, of course, a cello lesson and a library program. No, I do not sit around my house all day cooking dinner, cleaning or playing on the computer. I am just like…
Cheesy Quinoa, Chicken, and Broccoli Casserole
Wow, another snow day today! That makes three this week. I need to keep everyone focused and moving forward because changes of schedule in our house can be difficult. They start to sleep in later, which causes them to stay up later, so they sleep in later…. Until their days and nights are flipped. So,…
Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Verde Soup
This posting is late tonight as my kids are on their second snow day this week and most likely heading into their third tomorrow. Yesterday school was closed because of the snow. Today school is closed because of the cold. I woke up this morning to an igloo on Weatherbug for the forecast – not…
