We have been on vacation for the past two weeks and just arrived home last night. It was a beautiful two weeks with only 1 1/2 days of rain and temperatures in my favorite area of 70 to 75 degrees just about every day. Sunshine was plentiful and I felt amazing. This is what we…

World’s Best Steak Marinade
We are a family of carnivores. A few times we have tried going vegetarian or semi-vegetarian but the smell of a really good steak cooking always seems to lure us back. Even my mostly vegetarian daughter can’t resist a good steak. The other night when I made a comment about my daughter being mostly vegetarian…
Cheesy Pesto Chicken and Garlic Crispy Red Potatoes
I am a “Real Mom” home cook. I am not trained in any form of cooking or baking. I have two children and a spouse that like to be fed each day and I try to accommodate them the best I can. We have dance lessons, cello lessons, Science Olympics, Lego Robotics and library groups…
Veggie Pizza Appetizer
Between now and Super Bowl Sunday I am planning on making and tasting quite a few appetizers. For us New Year’s Eve and Super Bowl Sunday are all about the food. Oh, and isn’t there a ball dropping and a game we are supposed to be paying attention to? But, for us we start weeks…
Glazed Pork Roast and Mashed Cauliflower
So, I have been trying to take better pictures lately but I don’t have a light box like most bloggers and I am trying to snap pictures as my children are grabbing plates to eat. Sometimes like this picture they are a bit fuzzy or the lighting in our kitchen is poor. But, you get…
Tangy Slow Cooker Pork Roast: Cook Once, Eat Twice!
I had a beautiful pork roast to cook the other night. It was a To-Go meal night and I had two meeting to attend before getting everyone in the car to go to dance classes. I needed something super easy and flavorful. I found the recipe for a Pork Roast Supper at Muffy Martini.com that…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter
What to make when the groceries are running low and the pantry staples just aren’t speaking to me? I had half a bag of frozen ravioli and half a bag of frozen tortellini. Neither was enough to feed my family of four, but together? I could make this work. We do not eat a lot…
Cheesy Wild Rice Casserole
This didn’t get posted yesterday because I had food poisoning. I couldn’t believe it. I still can’t. I knew when I looked at the words someone used to search my blog and saw Barbecue Beef Cowboy Casserole and started getting sick again there was no way I was doing anything with food. We went to…
Slow Cooker Spicy Lime Chicken
We are two weeks from back-to-school time. I can already feel the anxiety beginning to ramp up a bit around our house. I am trying to start them on the school schedule now so that it is not such a shock the first week of school. Things are going okay but I am trying to…
Hummus Crusted Chicken with Zucchini and Summer Squash
I needed inspiration for dinner. Supplies are low this week so I needed to use things I had on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. I was browsing through Pinterest because that is what I do daily. I saw the title of a Pin that someone had posted and I knew right away I wanted…
Parmesan Crab Hamburgers
So after having to pretend to be Cyber Woman today (and it really is pretend!) my computer is once again functioning. New mouse, new speakers and that pesky cord that needs to be plugged in so the keyboard actually functions is now back where it belongs. It has been a long day. But, I had…
Roasted Mediterranean Potatoes with Feta Cheese
I am always in need of quick, easy side dishes to go with our meals. Once the potatoes were diced and in the oven it was 35 minutes until they were ready to go on the table. It was nice that I could cook the rest of the meal and not have to fuss over…
