Happy Valentine’s Day! From the frying pan into the fire. We are always busy but on the day after we got home from vacation my daughter had a choir concert. I needed to have dinner ready to go and be able to serve it to three different people at three different times. We usually don’t…

Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin
I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago. I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner. Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary. The gravy is the reason to…
Scalloped Potatoes with Ground Beef
Things are getting busier day by day here. Another night, another casserole. I am trying to not spend any more money before Christmas so we are going to be using everything I can out of the pantry and freezer. I went searching for a dish that used ground beef and potatoes that I could make…
Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak
So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Creamy Garlic Chicken
I am still making casseroles for dinner. This one took a bit more effort as I had to boil the chicken first. I decided to actually boil an extra serving of chicken so that I would have the chicken cooked for the next casserole. I am trying to plan ahead to keep things as simple…
Pork en Croute
I wish I had a better picture of the pork en croute than this one but it all kind of fell apart as soon as I started cutting into it and it really wasn’t that beautiful to begin with. I knew I wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner this year so I began searching Pinterest…
Lemon Butter Tilapia
Some nights I am fighting myself to find something quick and fairly healthy to feed my children. I am just like every other mom in the world, busy. Tonight’s dinner was tough. I am trying to get ready for Thanksgiving, to go away for a few days and keep the kids on schedule for their…
My Take on James Beard’s Recipe for Beef Hash
I had about 3/4 of a pound of Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast leftover from the other night. I am one to use every little last bit of food possible and let nothing go to waste. Lately I have not done such a good job as I had to throw out an entire roast…
Slow Cooker Chinese Pork and Broccoli
I am working on cleaning out our freezers for the big Thanksgiving/Christmas baking season. I have pretty much cleaned out the refrigerator of all the stray items but still need to work on the freezer. I had four fairly large thick pork chops that I found in my freezer that needed to be used. I…
Italian Sausage with Roasted Balsamic Vegetables
With Veteran’s Day and then a SNOW DAY (yes, a real snow day) now behind us I can finally get back to posting. It is hard to write with my children around. That is mostly my fault because I love having them home so I tend to want to spend all my time with them….
Ravioli Casserole
Time seems to be slipping away lately. I need to stretch the 24 hour days into 30. But, since I don’t think that is going to happen I need to work smarter not harder. So, to that this uses frozen ravioli with a homemade sauce. Yes, you can used jarred sauce or whatever you like…
Steak with Butter and Garlic Sauce
This has been a pork month. When I grocery shopped the first of the month every store we grocery shop in had pork on sale. We have had pork roasts, pork chops, pork ribs and ground pork. The other thing that was on sale was smoked sausages. We are tired of pork and sausages. I…
