We arrived home late Monday night from our trip back to New York. It was such a great time but we were all exhausted. The suitcases came in and went to the basement and we had to pay a little attention to the cat who was still miffed that we left her with a sitter…

Peruvian Steak and Potato Stir-Fry – Loma Saltado
One last dinner from our archives. Tomorrow I will be back with daily dinner posts. Catching up from vacation is tough! Have a great day friends and enjoy Fat Tuesday! For us to eat steak for dinner is a rare occurrence. I try to keep dinners rather inexpensive. My kids say cheap but I prefer…
Chicken French
While we are on vacation I hope you will enjoy some of our favorite dinners! This Chicken French recipe is really popular in our house. Chicken French is an a dish that is very popular in Rochester, New York. The dish which is a version of Veal or Chicken Francaise actually has its own version…
Pineapple Chicken
We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop. We have some expenses coming up this month that we wanted to be sure we had enough in reserves to pay for. But, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound? Couldn’t pass…
Seafood Salad
Let’s get this out-of-the-way first. I grew up with “imitation” crab meat. I don’t think I ever tasted real crab or lobster until I was well into my 20s. It was just what we had. Now, I know there is this thing about real crab versus imitation crab. I get it. Real crab is delicious….
Muffaletta
This would make an outstanding addition to a Super Bowl Party! It can be made the morning of the party or the night before and it’s ready to go when the party starts! My kids wanted to try “authentic” food from New Orleans. Every so often my children decide they want to try food from…
Meal 2 – Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza
So, we started this meal yesterday with Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Nuggets (click for link to post). I made an extra pound of chicken nuggets so that I could have leftovers for dinner tonight. I am personally NOT a fan of leftovers but if I can make them into something completely new I am fine…
Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Strips
Even though I make many “different” meals for my family they still want “kid” food once in a while. I am not a believer in that there are kids foods and adult foods. Kids menus and foods began back in the 1920s because prior to that time most parents dined out without children. Starting in…
Porcupine Meatballs with Gravy
Getting down to the end of the month and grocery day is right around the corner! I do one big shop a month so we are in the last week before stock up day. Trying to use those little last pieces of meat in the freezer and wanting to stretch them farther I added cooked…
Slow Cooker White Turkey Chili
If you have read my blog before you know I am all about using every little last piece of something we have in our freezer, pantry and refrigerator before it spoils. That means I have to rotate my pantry shelves from time to time. When putting away your groceries in your pantry stock them like…
Shish Taouk
When I read this recipe for Shish Taouk from White House Red Door (click for link to original recipe) I knew I was going to make this recipe soon! We love Mediterranean food and I was excited to try this. There is a little Mediterranean restaurant near our house and we love to order new foods to…
Mexican Cornbread
We are coming to the end of January. In our house that means we are trying to use up all the odds and ends in our freezer and pantry. There was a sale on ground beef the other day so I bought 20 pounds to freeze. But, before it headed to the freezer I took…
