I haven’t posted over the last few days as we have been out-of-town. The day after Thanksgiving we left to head back home to visit family and for my daughter to get her braces off! We were so excited by the last part. No more 550 mile, each way, trips every 6-8 weeks. A huge…

Chicken Parmigiana with Sauce
It has been ages since I made Chicken Parmigiana. Since my son has been gluten-free almost 5 years ago now I try to limit having to make two meals every night when I can. I have learned to “adapt” our dinners for him so I usually divide everything without gluten into 1/3 for him and…
Vegetable Lo Mein
We have been on a HUGE Chinese food kick lately. We love the flavors and my kids love noodles and rice with anything. Plus I love that I can use up the bits and pieces of stuff from my refrigerator in it. I had bought two bags of broccoli slaw mix when it was on…
Pancake Muffins made with Breakfast Sausage
I should know better than just to blindly ask one of the other family members to take meat out of the freezer and then tell me what it is before they put it in the refrigerator to thaw. Too many times I have ended up with them telling me it is something other than what…
Barbecue Sauce Hot Dogs with Various Toppings.
Barbecue Hot Dog with Caramelized Onions and Broccoli Slaw I try to make dinners for my family that are different and tasty. I try to round out each meal with a salad and vegetable. To be honest I try to get 2 vegetables at each meal I can in addition to the salad. But, we…
My Take on James Beard’s Recipe for Beef Hash
I had about 3/4 of a pound of Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast leftover from the other night. I am one to use every little last bit of food possible and let nothing go to waste. Lately I have not done such a good job as I had to throw out an entire roast…
Berry Cream Cheese French Toast Casserole
We love breakfast for dinner. I had been planning on making this for a couple of days. I just kept forgetting to put it together first thing in the morning so that it had at least 8 hours to sit before I cooked it. I finally got around to making it and we were all…
Balsamic Onion Slow Cooker Roast
Last night being Halloween I wanted something extra easy to have for dinner. This was it! I took our favorite flavors and blended them with a beef roast in the slow cooker. I only had to add mashed potatoes and carrots for our comfort food dinner before heading out on the spooky, cold evening. Verdict:…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Chicken
With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…
Slow Cooker Easy Barbecue Pork Ribs
We spent the weekend doing family stuff. My daughter looked at me and asked, “Is Saturday Family Day now?” I LOVED that! For so long Saturday has been our catch-up day. All the laundry, cleaning or shopping that we didn’t get done during the week was always left for Saturday. Now, we have time to…
One of Those Days Dinner
Yes, we all have them. We tend to feel overly guilty about them too. Those dinners we view as “bad” or “unhealthy.” I stopped at the grocery store yesterday on my way to pick up the kids for dance and tried to find them something quick and easy they could eat in the car for…
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
I am still on the comfort food kick. I think I have had more types of mashed potatoes over the last two weeks than I can ever remember. I had hamburger thawing and as my children say, “Mom, can’t just make plain hamburgers.” So, off in search of a recipe I went. I found this…
