My family loves Spaghetti Pie but this is not the normal recipe we use. Being on a strict budget after vacation at the beginning of the month I did not have any ricotta cheese in the house and trying to finish out my “No Buy July” (except for fresh fruits and vegetables) I had to…

Chicken Francese – Rachel Ray
We had chicken thawing in the fridge and not very much else on the cupboard shelves. I started searching for recipes and found in Every Day with Rachel Ray a recipe for Chicken or Fish Francese-wiches. Well, I did not have bread, arugula, paprika, lemons or tomatoes but being adventurous as I am decided to…
Blueberry Pancakes – Trisha Yearwood’s Recipe
We love breakfast for dinner. I like making breakfast for dinner because it is generally a quick easy meal. With the heat index on the rise a short time having the stove on makes me much happier the rest of the evening. We are still living on limited resources this month so I had sour…
Marinated Cucumbers and Onions
It has been hot here. I know hot is a relative term but 85-95 degrees with 85%+ humidity makes us not very hungry at all. We have gone to the beach 7 of the last 8 days to escape the heat a bit. This is one of our favorite easy summer side dishes. It is…
Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner
This is another one of those recipes that I started with what I could find on-line and then ventured off into unknown territory as I was missing some of the ingredients in the original recipe from Pillsbury.com for Skillet Lasagna. This was again a dinner for my family to eat on-the-go. It traveled well although…
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
So this was definitely a I am really not too sure what I am making but our refrigerator contents are getting low and all I have is ground beef, meal. My children do not like plain old hamburgers or cheeseburgers and I was running out of time to get dinner on the table. Then the…
Modenese Pork Chops
I think I need to change my blog from “What’s for Dinner Mom?” to “Dinner on the Run.” It seems like I am rushing all the time lately to either get dinner on the table or to get it in a bowl so we can rush out the door and eat in the car. With…
Tater Tot Taco Casserole
So lately dinner has been taking a “surprise” meat, I didn’t label anything in the freezer (oops) and we are in the process of cleaning out the freezer and pantry by eating only from them for a few weeks, no new groceries except for fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk; then opening it the next…
Slow Cooker Cashew Chicken
As a busy mom I really try to use my slow cooker at least once each week. If you really want to use your slow cooker often I highly suggest a programmable one. That way the cooker can turn itself to keep warm or change from high to low as you need it to. My…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf
Recipes for bacon wrapped meatloaf have been all over Pinterest for about a year now and I finally decided to give it a try. My family loves all things bacon. Or so I thought…. I think I may have finally found the one item that contains bacon that my family did not LOVE! They liked…
Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
Oven Standup Tacos
So this has been on Pinterest for about a year now. Fill your taco shells with meat and cheese and then put them in a 350 degree oven for about 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the shells to freshen up. I never bothered doing this as by the time the tacos are…
