The weather here in Southwest Michigan has been amazing. The past two days it has been 70 degrees! For the first week in November that is almost unheard of. Last Halloween we had snow so we are outside taking advantage of every moment in the sun we could get. So, dinner is later than usual…

Naan Pizza with Creamy Garlic Sauce and Sausage
Because I pretty much write my blog in real-time it is tough to get it together some days. Today is one of those days. Many bloggers have blog posts planned out days, weeks or months in advance, because of what I write about it is usually the next day or occasionally a couple of days…
Cowboy Meatloaf with Cheesy Mashed Potato Casserole
I am contemplating buying my first glue gun. I have never been really big into crafts. Oh, I have all the different things I bought to try new crafty projects such as knitting, scrap booking and jewelry making. But, I never actually purchased a glue gun. To me that was for the people who wore…
Tortellini Caesar Salad (with homemade Caesar Dressing)
CHANGE! This has become my motto lately. I get frustrated when I go into an office or a business to speak with a manager or someone in charge and about an issue I have with customer service or a product and they give me the answer, “But, we have always done it this way.” That…
Chicken, Green Bean and Stuffing Casserole (no creamed soups!)
Casseroles never photograph well, unless they are whole. But, boy do they taste great. I think it is the whole comfort food thing that we are all seeking right now. My entire family has been fighting a cold for about two weeks now. No one has been horribly sick but everyone is just feeling blah….
Wait! You’re Writing About Chinese Takeout for Your 600th Post?
Beef and Broccoli with Fried Rice and General Tso’s Chicken with White Rice “Man plans. God laughs.” – Yiddish Proverb This is my 600th post. It is not anywhere near what I thought I would be writing about for my 600th post. But, this is life and this is what happens when we plan. I…
Carrot Cake Cookie – The Writer’s Shop
. The Writer’s Shop can be easy to overlook on your way to the Streets of America or Star Tours but this little shop sells one of my most favorite sweet treats in Disney’s Hollywood Studios and definitely a top 5 snack in all of Walt Disney World. Half of a Carrot Cake Cookie. The…
Chicken Divan
I normally don’t post on Saturday or Sunday but I didn’t have enough hours in the day yesterday to post this Chicken Divan dish that we had Thursday night so I wanted to make sure I got it in today. A few months ago I made a Pork Divan because what I thought was chicken…
Slow Cooker Hot Sandwich
When I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Crockpot Grinders from BigRedKitchen.com I was just waiting for a day that I could try it. It looked simple enough and my family loves a good sandwich. The best part was that it could be modified so that each person got exactly what they wanted in their…
Ham, Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
Still trying to clean out the 2 freezers and pantry by instituting a No Buy Month. I have a bunch of ingredients to make things but finding new ways to combine things is getting tougher. This is another version of a recipe I made about a week ago. I had leftover ham in the freezer…
Oven Standup Tacos
So this has been on Pinterest for about a year now. Fill your taco shells with meat and cheese and then put them in a 350 degree oven for about 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the shells to freshen up. I never bothered doing this as by the time the tacos are…
Mediterranean Pizza
I needed a quick meal that would travel well for our usual Tuesday and Thursday drive to dance classes, a one hour drive each way. I had nothing planned and time was running out to get a meal ready that could be eaten in the car. I pick my son up from the bus stop…
