Lots of soups here lately. I love how easy they are to make, I usually do a big pot on Sunday, and reheat and serve during the week. My wife is heading back to the office tomorrow with EVERY one in her company for the first time since March 2020. So having simple leftovers to…

Patti LaBelle’s Over the Rainbow Macaroni & Cheese
With both of my kids coming home this past weekend. They spent a total of 9 hours in the house together. My daughter had an Irish dance competition in Chicago so she got home at 10 pm and left the next morning at 7 am. By the time she got back on Sunday my son…
Simple Bisquik Beer Fish Fry
I made these yummy Crispy Roasted Potatoes (click for link to recipe) and needed something to serve with them. I had been cleaning out my pantry cupboard, I do this about 2 times a year so that I don’t lose ingredients. I hate having to throw food out so I try to clean up my…
Beef Stronganoff
I am in a comfort food mood lately. With all the changes coming up in our life comfort food will be on the menu the next few weeks. This dish reminds me of being a kid back in my mother’s kitchen. I had to make it with the canned soup because that is what I…

Doritos Chicken Taco Salad
Day 16 – We are settling in. I am thinking we need to stop naming days – Monday, Tuesday, etc… and just call them day. They are all blending together. We ask each other all the time, “What day is it again?” We try to tie it to something in our recent memory. But, it…
Cheesy Grits and Shrimp with Bacon
I honestly don’t think I have ever had grits in my entire life. If I did it was many, many years ago and they obviously didn’t make much of an impression on me. In a time of we need to stretch ourselves and our eating again we decided to try dishes we have never had…
Beef Barley Soup Slow Cooker
The cold has returned to Michigan. Not much snow here other than the banks around the driveways and one the roadsides. I can actually see grass on my front lawn in February? That is pretty much unheard of. I do know that if things follow the usual path we will have at least 2 more…
Hasselback Maple Sweet Potatoes
We had these potatoes with a roasted turkey dinner. They were amazing! My family usually uses a ton of butter, brown sugar, and candied pecans on their sweet potatoes. This time they had so much flavor they were not asking for more butter or more brown sugar. Verdict: The entire family loved these. They decided…
Semi Homemade Chicken and Gravy
I am back (I hope!) for awhile. I got my computer back. It was just far too difficult to post on my phone and tablet. It was so frustrating that I decided a break was needed. Thank you for sticking with me! I am into this idea of semi homemade right now. I go through…
Breakfast Pizza with Hashbrown Crust
We have been having breakfast for dinner quite often lately. Eggs have been on sale from $.45 to $.88 a dozen. Breakfast sausage was on sale a few weeks ago so I picked up several rolls and cheese has been $1.49 for 8 oz. Perfect! Lots of casseroles and now breakfast pizza. Verdict: I have…
Spicy Asian Pork Chops
This was another simple meal for us. I started cooking the rice as soon as I put the pork on to cook and everything came out at just about the same time. Start to finish from when I started cooking the meal was about 30-35 minutes. Love these quick easy meal. Verdict: This was a…
