Slow Cooker Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwiches

This recipe is one I have had sitting in my file box for a while.  It is SUPER simple and needs very few ingredients.  Once you add the Caesar dressing to the chicken dinner can be on the table within 30 minutes. Verdict: Both kids gobbled this meal up.  We were going out to dinner…

Roasted Mediterranean Balsamic Chicken with Vegetables

As we were discussing some of our favorite meals that I have made over the last few year everyone agreed that their favorites were the Asian, Middle Eastern or Mediterranean dishes.  We all really like the savory flavors of the dishes. If I open my cupboard right now I know I would find no less…

Courtney Thorne-Smith’s Spicy Beef

The past few days have been crazy.  For the first time in ages I actually had someone stop over unexpectedly and was embarrassed as I was making dinner that just about half of the  pans in my house still needed to be hand washed and the Sunday paper was still strewn across the living room. …

Guinness Beer Battered Fish and Salt Potatoes

I will admit that this recipe took a bit more time than most of my other dinner dishes.  I bought a package Gorton’s Fish Fillets a few weeks ago when they were on sale thinking I could use them for a quick dinner one night.  What was I thinking?  The minute I made the suggestion…

Chicken Divan

I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…

Ham Tetrazzini

Last night was amazing because we were home for an entire evening.  I mean we did have to go out and deliver our daughter to the Murder Mystery Night at the local library and pick her up.  Stop and get gas for the van and have a few minutes to chat with friends waiting for…

Taco Hot Dogs

This was a fun meal that turned out much better than I thought it would.  A few weeks ago our local grocery store had a sale on all beef hot dogs.  So, of course I bought four packages (won’t be on sale again for 4-6 weeks!).  Then I had to think of ways to make…

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Even in summer I love my slow cooker.  I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…

Grilled Marinated Chicken

One of the best ways I have found to save money (I love my Disney trips and need to save for them) is to try and buy all my staple grocery products when they are on sale.   Most sales happen every 4-6 weeks so when I find items such as chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks…

Pork Carnitas Tacos with Pickled Onions

Back from two evenings off of making dinner.  The conference I attended on Monday and Tuesday was fabulous.  I can’t wait to share more of it in the coming days. But, I still had to cook dinner last night.  When I explained my blog to people at the conference most asked me how I had…

Chicago Style Hot Dogs

I guess this is the perfect meal since I am heading today to the Disney Social Media Moms – On the Road even in Chicago today.  I am so excited yet feeling like a guppy in a huge ocean.  I LOVE Disney and will be spending this summer combining this blog with my Earning My…

Herbed Pork Roast with Glaze

Today is the first day since school let out that we have all been able to sleep in.  No early morning doctor appointments, dentist appointments or getting my daughter to the school for her trip to Washington DC.  Yes, I actually put my daughter on a plane with some of her 8th grade peers for…
