The cheeseburger looks a bit gray in this picture but it looked better on the plate. I had a half a package of bacon to use leftover from the other night. I hate having food spoil especially bits and ends of jars and things I buy to make a recipe. I try to group several…

Stove-Top Tamale Pie Skillet Dinner
School starts next week and the weather has definitely been cooler here lately. I sat looking out the window before dinner last night and noticed that the leaves of the Elm tree outside our house are just starting to turn. I can’t believe that the kids have been on summer vacation for 11 weeks. As…
German Style Pigs in the Blanket Casserole
As you can probably tell from most of my posts my favorite things to cook are casseroles, skillet dinners and slow cooker dinners. They let me mix all the ingredients together, walk away and let it cook. Yes, I enjoy the fancy dinners once in a while, but right now my family life comes first…
Cheeseburger Quesadilla
I realized recently that my kids are getting spoiled by my cooking. We went to a Renaissance Fair over the weekend and because my daughter was one of the “entertainers” we got a free lunch. It was very simple meal and meant to feed a large group of people. It was white bread sandwiches with…
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…
Cheesy Hamburger Casserole
So this was definitely a I am really not too sure what I am making but our refrigerator contents are getting low and all I have is ground beef, meal. My children do not like plain old hamburgers or cheeseburgers and I was running out of time to get dinner on the table. Then the…
Tater Tot Taco Casserole
So lately dinner has been taking a “surprise” meat, I didn’t label anything in the freezer (oops) and we are in the process of cleaning out the freezer and pantry by eating only from them for a few weeks, no new groceries except for fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk; then opening it the next…
Taco Salad (includes recipe for Taco Seasoning)
This recipe is part of one of my favorite memories from when I was in college. We were all poor college students who were running out of money on their meal cards at the end of the semester. We received an invitation to a dinner party where we were each to bring one fairly inexpensive…
Barbecue Bacon Wrapped Meat Loaf
Recipes for bacon wrapped meatloaf have been all over Pinterest for about a year now and I finally decided to give it a try. My family loves all things bacon. Or so I thought…. I think I may have finally found the one item that contains bacon that my family did not LOVE! They liked…
Paula Deen’s – Bobby’s Goulash
There is a story for this recipe as there almost always seems to be. I had planned on making Buttermilk fried chicken tonight but when I went to take the chicken out of the refrigerator it was still frozen solid! After two days of “thawing” in the refrigerator I couldn’t even break the chicken into…
Homemade Sloppy Joes
I don’t think I have ever made Sloppy Joes that didn’t come from a can. My mother used to always make this when we were children and I loved it. I don’t know why it took me so long to make it for my children. It was actually very easy and they loved the…
Greek Cheeseburgers
My family loves the flavors of spinach, feta and garlic so I came up with my version of a “Greek” cheeseburger. They love these and it makes me feel good that I am serving them spinach they will eat. Ingredients: 1 1/2 lb. ground beef 2/3 cup of feta cheese 1 box of frozen…
