My daughter hates onions. She hates the smell and will pick them painstakingly out of each and every dish I make if she sees one. I have learned to finely mince the onions I am adding to most dishes so she can’t even see them. But, she LOVES French onion soup and onion rings. She…

Cheesy Chicken Manicotti
This week is shaping up to be the week of casseroles and skillet dinners. We have concerts, meetings, shopping and schoolwork to finish up before the 19th. Thankfully school will be out after that and we can really relax before Christmas. G had his first 6th Grade Orchestra concert. They don’t start instruments here until…
Chicken Fajita Stuffed Peppers
Mostly our weekends have been spent at Feises (Irish dance competitions) but now our son had his First Lego League competition this past weekend in Grand Rapids, MI. We knew nothing about First Lego League. We knew that he was a programmer but beyond that nothing. We learned quite a bit this weekend. I have…
Parmesan Chicken Tenders with Garlic Cheese Sauce
We have been eating tons of chicken breasts lately. Our local grocery store had them on sale for $1.49 a pound for skinless, boneless breasts. So of course I bought 30 pounds. That price is unheard of around here. Usually I can get them for $2.29 a pound on sale and once in a while…
Chocolate Meatball Cookies
This is a recipe that came from my grandmother. I remember these cookies from when we were little going to her house for the family Christmas Eve party. I LOVED them then and still do today. I hope someday that my children will be making these cookies with their children so the tradition will continue…
Cowboy Casserole II
So, this dinner was supposed to be entirely different. Well, it was supposed to be a Cowboy Lasagna like at Peppermint Mocha Mama.blogspot.com. The problem was I started reading the reviews. Many said it needed more flavor, the tater tots were mushy not crispy, it used canned tomato soup which I don’t use. So, what…
Slow Cooker Schweinbraten (Bavarian Pork Roast)
I think if my children had to choose which ethnic food they would put in their top 10 German food would be somewhere in the top 3. I think it would be hard for them to choose between Mediterranean, German and Asian foods. When I took a pork roast out of the freezer the other…
Chicken and Broccoli
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent the day just the way we intended. We watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 3-4 years. We played Scattergories and laughed until our sides hurt. We napped. We made a simple dinner, together. We truly enjoyed just the four of us…
Blackened Fish Tacos with Baja Slaw
Still looking for a quick, tasty dinner that you can have on the table in about 30 minutes? This is perfect for those nights when you need to feed have dinner on the table quickly. Verdict: This was an over the top hit. My children love Tilapia because it is a very mild fish and…
Slow Cooker Parmesan Tomato Soup
So last night what we really did was this: Because Buffalo was under so much snow the NFL moved the Buffalo vs. Jets game to Detroit. Then they offered free tickets! Of course we went. A 3 hour drive across Michigan to see the Bills? We are there. My children got to attend their first…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
Trisha Yearwood’s Creamy Turkey Casserole
This meal started with a Facebook post from Hellman’s Mayonnaise featuring Trisha Yearwood making her after Thanksgiving Creamy Turkey Casserole that uses up those bits and pieces leftover from your big dinner. The video can be seen here and the original recipe for Creamy Turkey Casserole here. It sounded a bit strange but very easy. …
