So we have returned from the last of our summer vacations. It was a whirlwind tour back to New York to visit friends and family. We returned home last night about 10 pm from: in 86 hours we drove almost 2,000 miles in 24 hours of driving time; slept in three different places; ate at…

Chicken Fried Chicken and a Date Night
Now that school is just about out and evenings are getting longer we have a nightly ritual of going down to the beach and sitting to watch the sunset. It is so peaceful and calming and a great way to end the night. When I received my first Influenster box in the mail the other…
Pork Chops with Onion Gravy
I love dinners like this because you can start making them and have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. I definitely need more of these as the month goes on. There seems to be less and less time in the day to fit everything in. Verdict: Even my little onion haters liked this…
Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
Slow Cooker Smothered Boneless Pork Chops
We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…
Swedish Meatball Casserole
I think this year it is a Casserole Christmas. It seems what is getting me through this Christmas season are casseroles and my slow cooker. I love that I can just throw things into a pan and it comes out with a delicious dinner. I was searching Pinterest for ground beef recipes when I came…
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
I am still on the comfort food kick. I think I have had more types of mashed potatoes over the last two weeks than I can ever remember. I had hamburger thawing and as my children say, “Mom, can’t just make plain hamburgers.” So, off in search of a recipe I went. I found this…
KFC Like Mashed Potato Bowl
So after a long day of dancing, going to the cider mill and running errands we got home about 8:30 pm. I had nothing prepared for dinner and not even a thought in my head about what to make. I knew we had some gluten-free Tyson Chicken nuggets in the freezer that I could quickly…
Baked Boneless Pork Chops
First off this is a horrible picture for such a delicious dish. For some reason my camera refused to focus well and the dish is mostly beige so it was really hard to get everything in focus especially against my white plates. But, other than being a beige dish this was actually a really delicious…
Savory Chicken Pot Pie
I started with a basic recipe for Chicken Pot Pie from Familycircle.com/pot pie. Of course this is not what I really made. Cooking spray 1-1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4-inch chunks 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 med. chopped onion 2 …
