I think everyone has seen all the variations of this recipe on Pinterest lately. You can have Pretzel Crusted Chicken Fingers, Doritos Crusted Chicken Fingers, Potato Chip Crusted Chicken Fingers and now Cheez-It Crusted Chicken Fingers. Basically any crunchy snack food you can crush you can coat your chicken with. I have always said I…

Pan Fried Pork Steaks
Things are finally starting to slow down here. School will start a month from today. Boo! I love having my kids home for the summer. This is the first time they have had 12 weeks off for summer vacation. Usually we get about 7-8 but since we moved and the school year here is shorter…
Spaghetti Pie II – with Ricotta Cheese
This is normally how I make Spaghetti Pie. I tried the sour cream and cream cheese version that I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago (recipe here) but I prefer this Spaghetti Pie. For my family it was a toss-up. They liked them both for different reasons. My son hates ricotta cheese so I…
Slow Cooker Pork Roast
Pork has been incredibly cheap at the grocery stores lately so my family has been eating plenty of boneless pork chops, pork roasts, pork loins…. You name it we have eaten it. I am trying a different recipe each and every time we cook it. I had this huge roast in my freezer and wanted…
Chicken Francese – Rachel Ray
We had chicken thawing in the fridge and not very much else on the cupboard shelves. I started searching for recipes and found in Every Day with Rachel Ray a recipe for Chicken or Fish Francese-wiches. Well, I did not have bread, arugula, paprika, lemons or tomatoes but being adventurous as I am decided to…
Turkish Meat Pie
My family LOVES food with lots of flavor and trying new and interesting things. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest, Turskish Meat Pies at Jocooks.com, I knew they would love it. My son especially loves trying “real” ethnic cuisine. Of course we are on a strict budget this month. You know those months where…
Philly Cheese Hot Dogs
This month we are on the eat cheaply plan. We recently went on vacation and have tons of fun things planned for the month but it leaves little cash for groceries. As a stay-at-home mom I am trying to make my budget stretch as far as possible. Recently they had $.99 hot dogs on sale…
Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner
This is another one of those recipes that I started with what I could find on-line and then ventured off into unknown territory as I was missing some of the ingredients in the original recipe from Pillsbury.com for Skillet Lasagna. This was again a dinner for my family to eat on-the-go. It traveled well although…
French Fry Dip – Garlic
I needed something new to add to our dinner tonight and was running out of time to get a “new” dish on the table. We were having hamburgers with french fries (not at all creative tonight). My kids love French Fries but they are not always my favorite. I decided to see if I could…
Modenese Pork Chops
I think I need to change my blog from “What’s for Dinner Mom?” to “Dinner on the Run.” It seems like I am rushing all the time lately to either get dinner on the table or to get it in a bowl so we can rush out the door and eat in the car. With…
Marinated Feta over Greek Hamburgers
My family LOVES Greek flavors in food. Lots of oregano, parsley and garlic are in many of our dishes. One of their favorites is our version of Greek Hamburgers (recipe at bottom of page). When I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Marinated Feta I knew it would be a hit in our family. My…
Tilapia over Wild Rice and Spinach Casserole
This recipe started as a Creamy Chicken, Mushroom and Wild Rice Casserole from Womansday.com. As you can see from the title I did not use chicken because in the process of trying to clean out my freezer and pantry by instituting a personal No Buy Month I had no chicken in the house. I always have…
