We are still in full comfort food mode so for dinner last night I started with a recipe for Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff from Allrecipes.com. I knew I would have to a bit of changing to the recipe for my family. The first change I made was substituting chicken stock for butter. I didn’t want…

Bacon and Balsamic Onion Macaroni and Cheese
We are in all out comfort food mode in our house. It may have been the first day of Spring but last night we received word that my mother-in-law is in her final days. So, tomorrow we will head back home. I will probably not post next week but will start again just as soon…
What Happens When Mommy Doesn’t Make or Plan Dinner
Things have been crazy here and I have been trying to keep on top of the meal planning and cooking. This is what happens when Mom doesn’t plan a dinner or leave something cooking for them. They figure it out. I volunteered at school today and then I had to do three pick-ups and…
Fried Rice with Spam
My mother-in-laws has been in hospice for the past few weeks. Last night we received word that we are down to weeks and days and are no longer thinking in terms of months. It is amazing to me that in times of stress and grief how our minds turn to food. My partner immediately picked…
Taco Pizza
Gahhhh! It’s been one of those days. My computer has refused to connect to the internet until now. Our whole house is wireless, which I love sometimes. But, then there are days like these when it all goes fzzzzt. Ugh! So, I am just getting around to posting – in between picking up a child…
One Skillet Tortellini & Sausage in Tomato Cream Sauce
Our family had a Snow Day yesterday. It was wonderful. We all needed that day to kind of put ourselves back together. Things have been so busy that everything was just a bit off and the forced down time let us put everything back in order. Now, if we could only find my son’s winter…
Slow Cooker Jambalaya
Most of my dinner photographs are pretty awful. I am not a photographer. This has to be one of the worst pictures I have ever posted. This was taken after dinner when I realized I forgot to take a picture and there was just a little bit of Jambalaya left in the bottom of the…
Easy Chicken Parmesan Casserole
This whole time change thing has thrown my entire family off schedule. We didn’t even have brunch until almost 2:00 pm because we just couldn’t get motivated. So, of course that put dinner way off schedule. We spent the rest of the day cleaning and hanging pictures so everyone was really hungry when it finally…
Joy of Cooking Pancakes with Strawberry Sauce
Not a great picture but this kind of sums up the kind of week I have been having. Honestly, sometimes I don’t want to make dinner. I wait and wait hoping that inspiration, or at least someone else offering to make dinner, will kick in. That rarely happens in weeks like this. I have my…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken and Rice
Back to my slow cooker! I love this thing. It’s that busy time of year and with a teacher conference, a dentist appointment, volunteering at the school book fair and working so dinner needed to be quick and easy. I found this recipe for Cheesy Chicken & Rice from kmhoho.wordpress.com and as I read it…
Disney on Ice – Princess and Heroes: A Night Off
Yesterday after school we picked up the kids and headed out to see Disney on Ice. It was a complete surprise to the kids who didn’t even know where we were going until we pulled up in front of the arena 2 hours later. At first my daughter was upset because she had been expecting…
Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
