Cheesy Cornbread Sloppy Joes
Since the Michigan Supreme Court struck down the governor’s mandates since April 30th last week our cases of Covid-19 have started trending upwards again. We are now on New York states quarantine list so we cannot go to New York next week. We are disappointed to say the least. We were looking forward to seeing…
Grandma’s Sloppy Joes
The temps dropped to the low 30s over the weekend. They are back in the high 60s/low 70s during the day but the evenings have that crisp fall feeling that make me look to to the homey, old-fashioned dishes. Spices filling the house with warm scents mean a perfect fall dinner to me. It is…
Bacon and Cheese Stuffed Burgers
Not much longer until we won’t be grilling every night. I love burgers when they have lots of stuff on them and in them. Bacon, cheese, and onions of course are a favorite. I usually have fried onions on hand to top the burgers with but this time I needed to cook some onions to…
Meatloaf: Like Grandma Used to Make
Day 67 – Listening to the CEO of my wife’s company gave us a bit of a pause. She figures there will be more weeks of furlough but he was mentioning 50/50 chance of the US falling into a depression by fall and possible layoffs in the next few months. We knew this was coming…
Hamburgers with Balsamic Vegetables
Day 26 – I am keeping track of the days on here mostly for my own sanity. Some days it seems like nothing has changed and other days it seems like nothing will ever be the same. I had an “I don’t want to day” the other day. I went to bed early and layed…

Mom’s Meatloaf
After a weekend away in Wisconsin my daughter and I were happy to be home. She had another Irish Dance Feis (rhymes with mesh) north of Milwaukee on the coldest and snowiest day of the winter for us so far. We were fortunate to leave early and be able to be ahead of the storm….
Air Fryer Ground Beef Chimichangas
I told you about my new Air Fryer in my Crispy Buffalo Wing (click for link to recipe) post. The kids and I are having fun trying to figure out things to make in it. The other day I came home and my daughter was so excited because she was making lunch and found out…
Onion Salad Burger
What is a super simple meal that you can customize in so many ways to make a new dish each time you serve it? Hamburgers! Don’t stick to just the American cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato. Mix it up and try all different things on it. This burger was built because we didn’t want to…
Italian Skillet Dinner
Life continues on. My son was Maurice, Belle’s father, in “Beauty and the Beast” recently. He loves acting and musicals. With his autism he studies people endlessly to understand their motives, vocal inflections, and emotions. This has helped him be a fairly good actor. Comedy especially comes easy to him. He doesn’t understand that even…
Moussaka Sloppy Joes
I love the taste of these sloppy joes. The Greek spices are a great fall flavor palate. The spices had our house smelling like fall in minutes and both kids were standing in the kitchen wondering what was for dinner because it smelled so good! These come together so easily that they can be a…
