My family was thrilled when I came home with 3 pounds of ground beef recently. We have been eating so much pork that when I saw this on sale I couldn’t let it go. I mixed all three pounds of ground beef with spices to make two meals. The first, dish that we had last…

Slow Cooker “Healthier” Butter Chicken
So when I read this recipe for Slow Cooker Butter Chicken from Damn Delicious.net it threw me off a bit. I couldn’t figure out why people kept referring to Butter Chicken when this recipe has no butter in it. Then I did some research. The British used butter and heavy cream to make this Indian…
Turkey Thighs with Garlic Gravy
I am always on the look out for a bargain. I am not cheap, I far prefer the term frugal. When I was at the grocery store the other day I was strolling through the meat department looking for mark-downs or special Manager’s sales when I spotted 3 lbs. of turkey thighs for under $3.00! …
Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Tacos: Cook Once, Eat Twice!
Using leftovers from the Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast I made on Tuesday I was able to have dinner on the table in 20 minutes last night! The pork roast was delicious but letting the leftovers soak overnight in the extra sauce and then heating it up made it even tastier! The recipe for the…
Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast: Cook Once, Eat Twice!
I had a beautiful pork roast to cook the other night. It was a To-Go meal night and I had two meeting to attend before getting everyone in the car to go to dance classes. I needed something super easy and flavorful. I found the recipe for a Pork Roast Supper at Muffy Martini.com that…
Spicy One Pot Sausage Soup
I needed a quick dish for dinner last night. I didn’t even start cooking until 6:00 pm. I had one pound of Italian sausage thawed in the refrigerator and needed to come up with something easy that would be on the table within half an hour. Sausage soup! Verdict: This dish had tons of flavor,…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter
What to make when the groceries are running low and the pantry staples just aren’t speaking to me? I had half a bag of frozen ravioli and half a bag of frozen tortellini. Neither was enough to feed my family of four, but together? I could make this work. We do not eat a lot…
Pan Fried Steak – What I Really Fed My Family for Dinner Last Night
Let me clear something up. This is not what I served my family last night for dinner. I don’t have a picture of what they actually ate because we went to the local fruit stand after my son finished Lego Robotics last night and picked out our Halloween pumpkins. While we were there we picked…
Rachael Ray’s French Onion Soup
My daughter hates onions. If she seems them in a dish she will painstakingly pick out each and every one of them. I take care to make sure they are usually finely diced and mixed thoroughly into each dish. The two exceptions she has are French Onion Soup and Onion Rings. I have tried to…
Paula Deen’s Apple Bundt Cake- My 400th Post
Wow, 400 posts. I have been watching the number of posts add up to this closely. On Chinese New Year, January 24, 2012, I started my game of trying to make a different meal each week night for one year. About 2 3/4 years later I am still working on this. I took two big…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Hamburgers – A Perfect Game Day Dish
This is probably the most unhealthy dish I have made for my family in quite a while. But, sometimes that is okay. I don’t know if you can tell but there are carrots on the plate and I served it with a side salad to make myself feel it better. I hate the Mommy Guilt…
10 Delicious Slow Cooker Recipes for Fall
I love Fall! The great sleeping weather, the crisp apples and the smell of cinnamon everywhere you turn. This time of year my slow cooker is working overtime. I love coming home to a dinner about 90% complete. Adding a salad, sides or a bit of spices to the pot make the meals complete. These…
