Mediterranean Egg Bake
I love weekends. I wish weekends were five days long and week days were two. We enjoy being together as a family. For Christmas this year I planned a year of family dates. I planned twelve family adventures, one for each month, and bought gift cards or put cash in envelope for each month plus…
Saucy Asian Meatballs
Lots of ground beef to use right now so I am trying to make different things so the kids don’t realize the meat is the same thing every night. This recipe for Saucy Asian Meatballs is from Bear With Me at Chef Jenny.com. I must confess that I followed the recipe just as it…
Individual Barbecue Cheddar Meat Loaves
Though the temperature on our vacation in Florida left me feeling limp and tired all the time the cold here is not helping anything either. It has warmed up a bit lately but the dampness is still leaving me with that feeling of deep inside my bones cold no matter what the thermometer says. So,…
Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs
So, after our last check ups we are trying to change our diets a bit. We are not making any big changes but trying to substitute brown rice, vegetables and sweet potatoes for white rice, pasta and potatoes two to three days a week. Not a huge change but this was one of the first…
Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie
I love, love, love, love my slow cooker. I love that I can put the ingredients in the crock in the morning and by dinner time I have this delicious dish. Everyone came in the house this evening and commented on how wonderful dinner smelled. If you are not using your slow cooker at least…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken with Loaded Tater Tots
Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…
Pork Fried Rice
One last To-Go dinner before vacation! I am ready to burst with excitement. We are heading to Walt Disney World. I am a master planner so I have breakfasts and dinners booked for our stay. Half are our old favorites such as Biergarten, Crystal Palace and Cape May Cafe’ and the rest are new to…
Meatball Pizza Pasta
After last night’s lighter dinner of Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups my children were looking for something heartier for dinner tonight. Everyone was hungry and looking for a warm, filling meal. For me that means pasta or potatoes. After a glance through the pantry and freezer I decided it was going to be pasta for…
Bratwurst Macaroni and Cheese
We are back from our quick trip back home to visit my mother-in-law. At 96 years-old she just entered a nursing home. It has been tough on everyone but being 550 miles away from her as she makes this transition has been heartbreaking. She has gone from stage 3 Alzheimer’s to almost stage 7 in…
Chicken Fried Rice
This is my new wok that I got for Christmas. I LOVE IT! Yes, I am shouting. I also have a large skillet by the same company. I love that I can take it from stove top to oven. It has a ceramic base that is easy to keep clean and the food doesn’t stick….
Crab Topped Tilapia
Last night my family and I went through many of my blog posts from the past 2 years. It was fun talking about all the meals, what we liked and what we didn’t. It is amazing the memories tied to food. My children could tell from a meal if they were there for it, where…
