The weather seems to have gone crazy lately. It has been beautifully warm like the summer was supposed to be. Yet, it has been crazy cold at times. A slight taste of what is to come? I have been at the grocery store for quite a bit lately to pick up those one or two…

Beer Battered Fish with Remoulade
We have been talking quite a bit lately about the traditions we have surrounding food. Ours are probably similar to yours in some ways as most people have a turkey on Thanksgiving or a ham on Easter but then there are those that are unique to our culture, family or location we live in. We…
Creamiest Macaroni and Cheese
Yesterday was the first day back to school for both kids. I decided to celebrate the first day by making my daughter’s favorite dish, macaroni and cheese. She has been begging me to make plain, old-fashioned macaroni and cheese. What she means by that is nothing added in – no shrimp, beef, tomatoes, veggies…. She…
Buffalo Chicken “Cupcakes”
Today is the first day back to school for the kids. I am an emotional wreck. Both of my children are starting taking big steps forward in their lives. My baby boy starts middle school (6th grade) and my daughter starts high school (9th grade). Through I know as parents we are to prepare them…
Korean Ground Beef over Chinese Noodles
Finding new things to make with ground beef is becoming tougher and tougher. I am substituting it in as many dishes as I can. I found a great sale this week on lean ground beef for $2.87 a pound. I bought every package I could find. I hate paying over $3.00 a pound for meat…
Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
The kids start back to school next week. It cannot be possible. I swear we were just celebrating their being home for three months. For us this was the summer that really wasn’t. We are used to going to the beach 3-4 days a week and we went to the beach 3-4 times this whole…
Sloppy Joe over Cheesy Cornmeal Waffle
My new waffle maker came today so of course I have to immediately try it out. I knew I wanted something unique and savory to try so this is what I created. The meat of the day was the ground beef my daughter chose from the freezer and I immediately thought of Sloppy Joes like…
Slow Cooker Spicy Lime Chicken
We are two weeks from back-to-school time. I can already feel the anxiety beginning to ramp up a bit around our house. I am trying to start them on the school schedule now so that it is not such a shock the first week of school. Things are going okay but I am trying to…
Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin
Sometimes bacon can just make everything better. In our family we believe in the power of bacon. I haven’t tried chocolate bacon, bacon doughnuts or bacon cupcakes yet but believe me they are on my radar. But, we LOVE bacon. We all needed some healing power from bacon after a busy week. Whole boneless pork…
Taco Cupcakes
As I said the other day I have been struggling with dinner ideas lately. I have my monthly menu all set up but nothing on there is inspiring me right at the moment. It has been chilly and dark for a few days here in Southwest Michigan so I am looking to curl up with…
Three Meat Pizza with Herbed Crust
There are nights I hate making dinner. I don’t want to do it and I delay it as long as possible because I don’t even want to think about it. I am even slowly teaching my kids to cook with the hope that they can take over a couple nights a week. Tonight they both…
Tofu Pad Thai
I am still learning how to cook with tofu. This is only my second attempt. I am hoping to branch out more and more with the different flavors that I can blend it into. I am thankful that my kids are up for anything. I can see my family starting to slowly embrace more meatless…
