Another slow cooker day! I am trying to get my freezer cleaned out again this month as two weekends away and one birthday already this month have put a dent in our cash flow. Tonight is my daughter’s birthday party and next week is her actual birthday. So, we are trying to limit our spending…

Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole
Wednesdays are one of the few days that we actually eat dinner at a normal time. We are late eaters. We like to have dinner together so we are sitting down to dinner any time from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. But, Wednesdays are generally a bit earlier as no one has anything after 6:00…
Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese – A Birthday Dinner
I didn’t get a chance to post about my son’s birthday dinner last week. This was what he really wanted for his birthday dinner, Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese. We first made this sandwich about 7 or 8 months ago at his urging and he waited until his birthday for me to make them again. They…
Ginger Glazed Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Last week I posted our menu for the week. It was heavy on slow cooker meals because we are in the crunch time for the end of the school year and all the activities, clubs and classes both of my children are involved in are trying to fit in those last meetings and events. That…
Slow Cooker Chicken Fajitas
It was a crazy and fun weekend. We were in Milwaukee for three days for a Mommy/Daughter Feis, Irish dance competition, trip. No, I don’t dance, I finance, as they say. She did really well. It was the first time in a long time she could come off stage and say, “I did the best…
Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…
Steak Pitas with My Menu Plan for the Week
Do you menu plan? I never used to but now I cannot live without it. I plan for about 1 month because we get paid once a month and I do my stock-up shopping then. But, if one week or two weeks may work better for you, give it a try. My menu for the…

We spent the weekend in Lansing, Michigan, for the Michigan State Science Olympiad Tournament. My son has participated on his middle school team the last two years. This has been a great thing for him. It was his birthday Friday so we had cake an ice cream in the hotel lobby for him with the…
My Baby Isn’t a Baby Anymore…
Well, he will always be my baby boy. My youngest child. Today he turns 13! I can’t believe my big baby boy is 13! Where did the time go? I swear he was just born yesterday… This baby was going to be a breeze because I had all the answers. His sister had been the…
Shrimp and Pasta with Garlic Butter Sauce
This is our go-to meal when time is tight and I have put off making dinner so long that most of my options are no longer an option because we would be eating dinner at 11:00 pm. Yes, there are nights even I don’t want to cook! I always have a few pounds of frozen…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders
My family is big on flavor. They like spicy, bold, and even vinegary flavors. It doesn’t matter as long as it has lots of great flavors going on. This meal fit the bill perfectly. As we were shopping for rolls and crumbly blue cheese my daughter picked up two packages of blue cheese. I told her…
Ranch Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Gravy (No Canned Soups)
I love my slow cooker but I don’t like that many recipes call for canned soups. I don’t like the flavors and they are so icky to me. So, I have a recipe I use instead of any canned soups it is so simple even my daughter, who helped make dinner last night, said, “If…
