I love fall. It is my favorite season by far. I love sleeping in the crisp cool air. The smell of cinnamon and apples. Right now apples are CHEAP and delicious. The past few weeks apples have been holding at $.58 a pound here. So, I have been buying them several times a week. My…

Smoked Sausage with Pasta
I think I am now past all the computer glitches and malfunctions. It has been a maddening 2 weeks trying to get it all turned around. Just when you think you have it all something else “pops-up.” Ugh! So I am still on the comfort food theme for dinners. Tax season has 5 days…
Old-Fashioned Meatloaf
I love meatloaf. If I want to make a comfort dinner for myself it is usually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. As the weather has been turning a bit cooler during the day I more than ever want real homey comfort food. Scouring Pinterest I saw this recipe for The Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Meatloaf. I…
Pork Lo Mein
We were headed home on Sunday night from a long day of playing with nothing planned for dinner and two very hungry kids. I knew I needed to get dinner on the table quick with whatever I had in the refrigerator. We thought of spaghetti and sauce, meatball sandwiches and cans of soup. Yes, we…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Drunken Chicken
It is tax season in our house. That means that my other half is gone from 7 am to about 10 or 11 pm just about every day, including most weekends. Life goes on. There are still lessons for the kids, school meetings and parties, etc…. But, towards the end of this 3 month…
Ricotta Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza
This is my second attempt at a non-traditional pizza. I had ricotta cheese leftover from a recipe I made several days ago and I needed to use it up before it started to spoil. I have this “thing” about not letting food go bad. I try to use up everything I buy so that I…
Pesto and Sausage Pizza
Store bought pizza crusts have become my best friend. The last few weeks have been hectic and the next few days will be impossible. So I decided to make different kinds of pizza. This is my first experiment. I wanted to make pizzas that were “different” from the traditional red sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni. So,…
Bacon Cheeseburger with Balsamic Onion Bacon Jam
The cheeseburger looks a bit gray in this picture but it looked better on the plate. I had a half a package of bacon to use leftover from the other night. I hate having food spoil especially bits and ends of jars and things I buy to make a recipe. I try to group several…
Rochester Style Garbage Plate with Meat Sauce
We are going back “home” for a visit soon but we are still missing Rochester. On our last trip back I picked up 3 lbs. of Hoffman Hot Dogs. Now Zweigle’s are the hotdog of choice in Rochester, NY but we prefer Hoffman’s. I can say that now that we moved away without everyone looking…
Meatball Sub Casserole with Garlic Bread
Things lately have been crazy in our house and I LOVE when I can find meals that look great and seem fairly easy to make. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest it looked delicious and seemed far to easy. Meatballs, sauce, cheese and bread. Okay but will they eat it? I made a few…
Buffalo Chicken Lasagna
We love lasagna, well except my son who detests ricotta cheese. I read this take on lasagna and thought it sounded like a perfect fall evening meal for our family. Being from Western New York we LOVE Buffalo chicken wings. Actually all kinds of wings. Buffalo (medium), Country Sweet (go Rochester!) and Barbecue are among…
