If you haven’t visited my blog in a while you should! I am coming up on my 4 year anniversary of writing this blog (though I really don’t count the first year and a half). I decided it was time to shake things up a bit with a new design, larger font and hopefully easier…

A House Divided – Tale of Two Dips
I made these dips the other night as part of a “snacky” dinner in our house. Every once in a while we have veggies, crackers, cheese and a couple dips while we are having a movie night or playing a game together. We were playing “Apples to Apples” the Disney set while having our snacky…
Slow Cooker Simple Chicken and Dumplings (with Homemade Dumplings!)
If you have paid any attention to my blog lately you will have noticed that I have served chicken several times over the last few weeks. Chicken breasts are fairly inexpensive right now so I am buying 30-40 pounds a month. That is quite a bit of chicken for us to eat for dinners. I…
Slow Cooker Chicken Parmigiana
So, how are those New Year resolutions coming along? Despite the cold, dark days recently I am keeping to my word to let JOY lead me this year. Despite the weather and the pain I have been in due to severe arthritis I am trying to make the most of my days. I am doing…
Shwarma Burgers with Garlic Sauce

I have found some great bloggers on WordPress.com who are also become great online encouragers and friends. This recipe comes from Cooking for the Time Challenged – Schwarma Spice…

Asian Salmon in Foil
Have you kept your resolutions so far? If you are like most of the world, no. I stopped making resolutions many years ago. But, I did like the idea of finding one word to guide your intentions in 2016. I immediately thought of three words (I always was an overachiever.) that I really liked but…
Ramen Asian Salad – Happy New Year!
I consider my real New Years Day the day my kids go back to school each year. I don’t know why but that has always felt like the beginning of a new year to me ever since I was little. I get very emotional and sentimental around that time of year. So, actually New Years…
Waffle Bar: A Simple Fun Breakfast for Company or Holidays
Just before Christmas my daughter had a few friends over for a sleepover. For dinner we did a taco bar and for breakfast we made a waffle bar. It made it so much easier to feed several people with very different food preferences a meal that they would like by offering them choices without making…
Easy Slow Cooker Chili
The weather is finally turning colder in the Midwest. Over the previous week it was in the 60s but now we are getting freezing rain and it has dropped into the high 20s. It is amazing how quickly the weather can change. What I love though is that we feel ready for those warming comfort…
Holiday Breakfast Casserole
This is our traditional Christmas breakfast. I am not sure what we are doing this year. My son is already upset by the holiday changes we are making this year so I will probably still need to keep this dish. Hope you enjoy! Holiday Breakfast Casserole
Simple Sausage Soup
I realize with all the sweet treats and appetizers I have been posting I am a bit behind on my dinner postings. I am saving them up for when I am taking a break during Christmas vacation. With all the cookies and treats I have been posting I realized this morning that I have only…
