We needed something really quick and easy for dinner tonight that would travel fairly well for our “To-Go” meals. I still have lots of ground beef to use and had left over cheese sauce from last night’s dinner that I really wanted to use in something. I hate throwing food away and am always looking…

Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
I was recently talking on FB with a high school friend who told me she only uses her bread maker once or twice a year. I gave her some ideas for making dough with spices for pizza crusts and rolls. I told her I was even making part of our dinner as we chatted! I…
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…
Nachos with Beef
My kids really wanted to go out to eat. Being just over a week to Christmas Day the budget cried, “No.” So, we started to brainstorm about what we could make that would make them feel like they were going out. They wanted nachos, soda and dessert. I started Googling restaurant style nachos. Every single…
Moussaka Like Casserole
Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer. I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant. I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…
Skillet Lasagna
Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners. Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic. I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator. Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done. Half an…
Creamy Taco Soup
I have a feeling I am going to be making lots of soups and casseroles until after Christmas. Time seems to be slipping away from me. I am thankful that I had almost all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. I like to have it all done and wrapped by December 1st so I can…
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…
Soba Noodles with Spicy Ground Beef Sauce
Last night’s dinner was another – Oh no! I need to find something quick meal. What I thought was Italian sausage was really ground beef. A quick look through Pinterest, because that is what we all do when we need something quick, and I found Szechuan Noodles with Spicy Beef Sauce from Food.com. I did…
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…
Old-Fashioned Meatloaf
I love meatloaf. If I want to make a comfort dinner for myself it is usually meatloaf and mashed potatoes. As the weather has been turning a bit cooler during the day I more than ever want real homey comfort food. Scouring Pinterest I saw this recipe for The Pioneer Woman’s My Favorite Meatloaf. I…
