We love to have breakfast for dinner about once a week. They had breakfast sausage and eggs on sale this week so of course we needed to have eggs and sausage. My kids love breakfast sandwiches and we decided to switch them up a bit by adding a layer of sausage gravy to the English…

Roasted Turkey Soup
It is coming to that time of year when colds and flu are going to be everywhere. I love having a big batch of soup on hand in the freezer to pull out on those days when my family is starting to feel a little yucky. This soup freezes well, tastes and smells amazing when…
Savory Sweet Potatoes
I have started trying to find new sides for Thanksgiving (and other days of the year!). As many of you may know we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day as my daughter has MidWest Oireachtas (regionals) for Irish dance the day after Thanksgiving each year. So, we are traveling on that day. This year the…
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic Honey Glaze
Looking for a vegetable side dish for those that dislike vegetables? This may hit the spot! I am not a big vegetable eater and usually push all Brussels sprouts to the side of my plate (or not even put them on my plate if I can get away with it). I think they taste like…
Steak and Onion Tortillas
We have been having lots of chicken breast, ground beef, and pork lately because it was what was on sale last month. I VERY rarely pay over $2.50 to $3.00 a pound for meat. We prefer to spend our money on items other than food like saving for vacations at Disney or dance competitions for…
Chicken Tetrazzini (with/without canned soup)
Sometimes we use the cream of soups in our meals because it seems easier. My kids both think the canned stuff is icky and smells weird. They don’t mind it cooked into the casserole but actually opening and mixing it in they both squirm and try to get out of it. There is a simple…
Mashed Potato Casserole with Crispy Chicken
I have had the crud that is going around here for the past week or so. It started with a cold like thing and then went into this horrible cough and chest cold thing. Ick! So I have been super tired from the coughing all the time. I don’t want to cook and I need…
Strombolis and Calzones
Did you know these terms are NOT interchangeable? Some restaurants serve one yet call it the other. What is the difference? Calzones use ricotta cheese, and strombolis do not. Calzones usually use a blend of cheeses that almost always incorporates ricotta cheese. And then there is the pizza sauce. Calzones never have tomato sauce inside…
Roasted Pork Tacos with Apple Slaw
It is still really warm here during the days – up to 90 degrees some days. In Michigan it should be high 60s/low 70s not 80s/90s. But, it has been getting a bit cooler at night. That makes me want to light a fire pit, go on leaf changing drives (they have barely turned!), and…
Creamy Parmesan Skillet Chicken and Rice
When you need a meal that can be made in a little more than 30 minutes skillet dinners are often a great choice! I love one skillet meals. Seriously. I can make a whole entree in one pan? I am on it. I hate doing dishes. This is why we have a dishwasher but we…

Now that we are really feeling like it is almost fall with the back-to-school days upon us it is time for all things pumpkin spice. I am not usually a fan of pumpkin spice but am all in on team apple cider. This pumpkin bread though is a favorite of our entire family. My sister-in-law…
