I know this says it is a bowl but my picture is of a plate. I love having my food spread out rather than in a bowl like the rest of my family so I can get the perfect forkful of each piece. Plus you can easier see all the parts of the meal. Why…

Grilled Cajun Honey Salmon
We love fish and seafood but do not eat nearly enough of it. No other reason than being in Michigan other than lots of White Fish and Perch there are not a ton of fresh choices around us. We can get some okay cuts at the local grocery store but it is not the fresh…
BBQ Rub Pork Chops
We went down to the beach the other night to watch the sunset. My favorite part of the night here is that at sunset they play “Taps” up on the bluff. Everyone stops and goes silent. It is the most amazing thing to see and hear. There are people that come here on vacation and…
Slow Cooker Baby Back Ribs
We got my daughter’s test back and it was negative! Yeah! She was thrilled. She didn’t think she had it but it is still a bit unnerving knowing that you can have it and be asymptomatic. Now, that she has that down she has also decided to take at least a one semester deferment from…
Amazing Grilled BBQ Meatloaf
So my daughter had her Covid test on Friday. We still have not heard anything as of the time I writing this. I think the waiting is the worst part for her. Every yawn, twinge, or sniffle carries the thought of is this the first sign of getting sick? We are still quarantined until the…
Betty Crocker Maple Walnut Pancakes
So my family is in kind of a weird spot right now. We haven’t really shared this at all with anyone but one of my son’s friends is being tested for Covid-19. We just found out yesterday. The issue is that he was at our house last Thursday. We have only had about 4 people…

Orange Chicken
When we order Chinese takeout I know that my daughter will choose Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, or Honey Chicken depending on her mood. With the Covid-19 shutdowns the two Chinese restaurants in our little town were closed for several months. There are only two things that my kids think that I don’t make better than…
Grilled Caprese Chicken
This year since we have been home we started a container garden off our back deck. We tried this once before but we are normally gone every weekend and a few weeks in June, July, and August except for maybe one or two. Not good for a garden. Needless to say, our last attempt ended…
Big Mac Casserole
First off, my family thought I was crazy when I proposed this casserole. I grew up with the jingle: “Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame seed bun.” It is an earworm that strikes every once in a while so my kids also know the 80s jingle. When I…
Chicken Strip Wraps with Boom Boom Sauce
We are getting to the bottom of our freezer! In our No Buy June we are cleaning out our freezer that we used to stock up on during the “Stay Home. Stay Safe.” time. We know that there may be another time that we are limited in movements again so we are cleaning out the…
Breakfast for Dinner: Scramble Bowls
Still working on cleaning out the freezers. We had shredded potatoes – you know when potatoes are on sale for 2 #10 bags for ….. You stop and think what would I do with 20 lbs. of potatoes? Here you go! You can prepare your potatoes for what you may want to use them for…
