Grown-Up Tuna Casserole (No Canned Soups)

Crispy Baked Potato Chip Chicken Fingers – Teaching My Children to Cook
As I have discussed before I have certain things that I want to teach my children before they leave for college. Being able to make a meal, with or without a recipe, is one of them. I mean really cook too. We once had a neighbor who was so proud that each of her children…
Easy Cannelloni
This was a tough night. I am trying not to buy too many groceries this month as we went away, we need to get our car fixed and some house repairs done. We are trying to use only cash so I am trying to use up all the bits and pieces of things in the…
Slow Cooker Fish Chowder
We need things that are quick, easy and will hold up to staying warm for an extended period of time on dance class nights. The first shift of meals may be anywhere from 6:30 to 7:30 pm and the last at 9:00 pm. Simple meals in the slow cooker are what I have found work…

Easy Oven Cheeseburgers – Great for a Crowd !

Peruvian Steak and Potato Stir-Fry – Loma Saltado
One last dinner from our archives. Tomorrow I will be back with daily dinner posts. Catching up from vacation is tough! Have a great day friends and enjoy Fat Tuesday! For us to eat steak for dinner is a rare occurrence. I try to keep dinners rather inexpensive. My kids say cheap but I prefer…
