French Fry Breakfast Casserole

This is to use up the few last remaining pieces from our basket for No Buy January! Remember I said at the end of the month if I had anything left in my freezer I put it in a basket and had to use it by the end of next week. So, the zesty curly…

Toad in a Hole

My daughter couldn’t wait for me to share this with you. This is her favorite lunch to make right now. I think because it is so simple and she can easily make it herself. She does NOT like the smell of meat cooking or cold sandwiches so to her this is a great compromise. She…

Pesto Breakfast Pizza

Last night was the first time since sometime in March that we were all home before 8 pm. It was so nice to have all four of us sitting down around the table to eat together. We know it isn’t going to happen again for a few weeks but it was so nice to be…

Cheesy Eggs with Smoked Sausage

Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole

We were working with one car this past week. In a larger city it wouldn’t be so bad. Buses, taxis, even friends would be able to help us. But after our car was towed Monday night were still waiting for them to fix/replace the fuel pump on Friday. Really, it takes this long? But, in…

Chicken Fried Rice

This is my new wok that I got for Christmas.  I LOVE IT!  Yes, I am shouting.  I also have a large skillet by the same company.  I love that I can take it from stove top to oven.  It has a ceramic base that is easy to keep clean and the food doesn’t stick….
