I think this year it is a Casserole Christmas. It seems what is getting me through this Christmas season are casseroles and my slow cooker. I love that I can just throw things into a pan and it comes out with a delicious dinner. I was searching Pinterest for ground beef recipes when I came…

Skillet Lasagna
Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners. Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic. I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator. Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done. Half an…
Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs
This is a very strange picture. I get that. But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly. They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs. Not my first pick for a meal…
Thanksgiving Dinner – Green Beans with Brown Butter and Toasted Pecans
I haven’t posted over the last few days as we have been out-of-town. The day after Thanksgiving we left to head back home to visit family and for my daughter to get her braces off! We were so excited by the last part. No more 550 mile, each way, trips every 6-8 weeks. A huge…
Vegetable Lo Mein
We have been on a HUGE Chinese food kick lately. We love the flavors and my kids love noodles and rice with anything. Plus I love that I can use up the bits and pieces of stuff from my refrigerator in it. I had bought two bags of broccoli slaw mix when it was on…
Italian Sausage with Roasted Balsamic Vegetables
With Veteran’s Day and then a SNOW DAY (yes, a real snow day) now behind us I can finally get back to posting. It is hard to write with my children around. That is mostly my fault because I love having them home so I tend to want to spend all my time with them….
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Chicken
With Halloween being so close we have had a super busy week. Just getting ready for Trick-or-Treating, class parties and of course having friends over to eat dinner prior to Trick-or-Treating with us seems to take up the whole week leading up to Halloween. I went with a super easy dinner. I needed something that…
Soba Noodles with Spicy Ground Beef Sauce
Last night’s dinner was another – Oh no! I need to find something quick meal. What I thought was Italian sausage was really ground beef. A quick look through Pinterest, because that is what we all do when we need something quick, and I found Szechuan Noodles with Spicy Beef Sauce from Food.com. I did…
Pizza Hot Dogs
We just returned home from a week vacation back to New York. Though it was a fun time it was BUSY! We visited friends and laughed until our faces ached and our sides hurt. The kids danced in a Feis. We went to a 96th birthday dinner for my mother-in-law. Had an orthodontist appointment for…
Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Ricotta Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza
This is my second attempt at a non-traditional pizza. I had ricotta cheese leftover from a recipe I made several days ago and I needed to use it up before it started to spoil. I have this “thing” about not letting food go bad. I try to use up everything I buy so that I…
Pesto and Sausage Pizza
Store bought pizza crusts have become my best friend. The last few weeks have been hectic and the next few days will be impossible. So I decided to make different kinds of pizza. This is my first experiment. I wanted to make pizzas that were “different” from the traditional red sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni. So,…
