Yes, another slow cooker day for me. I am so glad I did this too. Today was a struggle with school day for both of my children. So, I spent most of the day on the phone, e-mailing and trouble shooting computer issues. By the time 4:00 pm rolled around and we needed to leave…

Chicken with Parmesan Sauce
This is not a good picture of this meal. My camera batteries were running low and the flash was not working. But, I did the best I could so you could get an idea of the dish. Last night was a dance night for us. That means dinner need to be on the table shortly…
Vegetable Soup with Ground Beef
I think it is now heading into winter here in Southwest Michigan. I woke up the other morning to 36 degree temperatures. Yes, 36 degrees. I am not ready for this. Our summer was short on beach time because of cooler weather and now my fall is getting cut to start winter already? No. But,…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops
This has been an amazing weekend. A Feis in Muskegon, Michigan and a day of relaxation with a bit of cider tasting thrown in. We saw a full rainbow on the way to Muskegon. It was amazing. The kids were saying how long it has been since they had seen one so full and bright. …
Slow Cooker Chicken and Dumplings – Response to “Is This the End of the Family Dinner?”
The other day there was a news story about how the stress of cooking “home-cooked” meals may outweigh their benefits. Headlines asked, “Is this the End of the Family Dinner?” In the study the women were comparing themselves to their ideal of what a home-cooked meal should be according to magazines, nutritionists and societal norms. …
Cheesy Hamburger Soup
The weather seems to have gone crazy lately. It has been beautifully warm like the summer was supposed to be. Yet, it has been crazy cold at times. A slight taste of what is to come? I have been at the grocery store for quite a bit lately to pick up those one or two…
Beer Battered Fish with Remoulade
We have been talking quite a bit lately about the traditions we have surrounding food. Ours are probably similar to yours in some ways as most people have a turkey on Thanksgiving or a ham on Easter but then there are those that are unique to our culture, family or location we live in. We…
Creamiest Macaroni and Cheese
Yesterday was the first day back to school for both kids. I decided to celebrate the first day by making my daughter’s favorite dish, macaroni and cheese. She has been begging me to make plain, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese. What she means by that is nothing added in – no shrimp, beef, tomatoes, veggies…. She…
Buffalo Chicken “Cupcakes”
Today is the first day back to school for the kids. I am an emotional wreck. Both of my children are starting taking big steps forward in their lives. My baby boy starts middle school (6th grade) and my daughter starts high school (9th grade). Through I know as parents we are to prepare them…
Korean Ground Beef over Chinese Noodles
Finding new things to make with ground beef is becoming tougher and tougher. I am substituting it in as many dishes as I can. I found a great sale this week on lean ground beef for $2.87 a pound. I bought every package I could find. I hate paying over $3.00 a pound for meat…
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
The kids start back to school next week. It cannot be possible. I swear we were just celebrating their being home for three months. For us this was the summer that really wasn’t. We are used to going to the beach 3-4 days a week and we went to the beach 3-4 times this whole…
Sloppy Joe over Cheesy Cornmeal Waffle
My new waffle maker came today so of course I have to immediately try it out. I knew I wanted something unique and savory to try so this is what I created. The meat of the day was the ground beef my daughter chose from the freezer and I immediately thought of Sloppy Joes like…
