I did not get a chance to post yesterday. My partner had a simple procedure but it took much longer and was a bit more involved than we originally thought. So, what was meant to be a simple 2-3 hour thing turned into a half day. Then it was physical therapy for my daughter, dance…

Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Cheeseburgers
First full week of summer vacation begins and I am tired! I thought this was going to get easier. In a few weeks it will. My son asked why all our appointments are in the two weeks after school is out. He is right. I have been holding off as much as possible until school…
Italian Sausage Lasagna Casserole
I tried to get this post finished on Friday before we left for the Detroit Feis. I didn’t make it. Between picking my daughter up at a slumber party, physical therapy for her, a grocery store run and bagging all the food before we left at 1:00 pm I didn’t quite make my deadline to…
Oven Roasted Corn
My daughter looked at dinner the other night and said, “You can tell it’s late Spring or early Summer.” When I asked what she meant she said our dinner was the clue. All vegetables we were eating were not frozen or from a can. She was right. I love getting as many fresh fruits and…
One of Those Days – Papa Murphy’s Pizza
Papa Murphy’s All Meat Pizza Note: I received NOTHING from Papa Murphy’s for this post. I purchased my pizza myself with my coupon(!) from our Superbook. This is my opinion and I have not in any way compensated by anyone. I surrendered tonight. I try to cook dinner at least 6 if not 7 nights…
Buffalo Style Mozzarella Pork Chops
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 days from the end of the school year….
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli in Tomato Cream Sauce
Yes, that does say Cheese Tortellini AND Ravioli. I bet you can all guess what happened. I remember I had bought two packages of tortellini back a few months ago when they were on sale because I try to only buy items when they are on sale. What I didn’t remember is making another dinner…
Slow Cooker Chicken Cheesesteak
I have been reading quite a few blogs lately and some of them scare me a bit. I am a bad mom. I didn’t know it before I read all these blogs. I let my children eat candy. I don’t buy organic vegetables. I don’t check their homework every night. I may be negligent because…
Birthdays – German Dinner
It’s not every day you turn 14! The only time of year that I intentionally repeat dinners is on birthdays. In our house you are allowed to choose whatever you want for dinner on your birthday. My son chose pasta and meatballs last month. This month my daughter wanted a German dinner. Specifically, German potato…
Barbecue Cowboy Casserole
After a doctor appointment we needed to decide if my daughter was going to dance class last night. She had just been seen by our pediatrician who diagnosed her with problems in her Flexor from overuse. The pediatrician recommended physical therapy and to cut back a bit on dance class. The doctor told her that…
Pork Chops with Onion Gravy
I love dinners like this because you can start making them and have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. I definitely need more of these as the month goes on. There seems to be less and less time in the day to fit everything in. Verdict: Even my little onion haters liked this…
Grilled Ham with Pineapple Salsa
I am not an adventurous eater. I think I want to make my children better about tasting new foods because I am so reluctant to do so. I never ate broccoli until I was in college. I found out I LOVED it if it is cooked properly. But, it was green, smelled funny and no…
