Moo Shu Sloppy Joes

Things have been difficult lately. I hate the feeling of everything being rushed and nothing quite completed the way I would like it to be. I feel like I am on one of those hamster wheels that is about to go off the track. We have actually been eating out more because we are on…

Ground Beef and Broccoli

Back to ground beef again. Don’t have leftover beef for beef and broccoli or just have some ground beef in your refrigerator and still want the flavor or Beef and Broccoli? Ground beef and broccoli is the perfect substitute. It gives you all the flavor of Beef and Broccoli without the expense of the steak….

Cheeseburger Burritos

We are on vacation for a long weekend and I am re-posting some of our favorite and most popular meals. Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend! It has been a great vacation. The kids are returning from 12 days at camp. We got 3 letters from our son. They were cute. He said the…

Rachael Ray Inspired Moussaka Sloppy Joes

As I was driving around town today I noticed all the signs for $5 lunches. I thought, “Hmmm, that’s not bad.” But, then the other side of me kicked in. That is lunch for one person. Could someone take that money and make dinner for their family with it? Of course. I started to think…

Tostachos (Tostados Nachos)

I am all for using up every little piece of food in my refrigerator and freezer before it goes bad. Every time I grocery shop I notice how all the prices across the store are rising so nothing irritates me more than when I have to throw away a vegetable or leftovers that got pushed…

Barbecue Bacon Cheeseburger Handpies

I bought a bunch of canned rolls and biscuits on sale a few weeks ago. I knew time would be tight over the next few weeks and the sale was really great so I thought why not try to incorporate them into some meals. It would save some time and sanity to have easy go…

Slow Cooker Rochester “Garbage Plate” Meat Sauce

There is usually a story about our meal or picture each night and that is true of this meal. We had a new friend over for dinner the other night and I struggled about what to make for dinner. I finally settled on making a dish from Rochester, New York, that would best represent us….

Easy Creamy Taco Pasta

I keep waiting for the hot July weather. It has been warmer but not the high 80s and 90s I am used to. We are getting ready for a busy month ahead so I am trying to keep our grocery bill down by using smaller amounts of meat and more pasta, beans, and rice in…

Texas Hash

Our children are at camp right now where they are eating a years worth of hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken patties and sloppy joes. Yes, these are things I serve once in awhile but my children are so excited to eat “kid” food for 12 days.  They both told me they love my cooking but sometimes…

Kafta Meatloaf

I finally have a computer! After our old desk top, 9 years old, finally died a slow painful death we were able to recover most of the data and pictures off the hard drive. That is what I was most worried about because I had just downloaded pictures from our Walt Disney World trip with…

Slow Cooker Bolognese

So, this is happening real soon! I am so excited to be attending the Disney Social Media Moms Conference (#DisneySMMC) in Walt Disney World. I still have to get through a birthday party, a Feis, an Honors Breakfast, a blood draw and a dance class before we leave in a few days but it is…

Sesame Garlic Beef Tacos

We are getting ready to head to Walt Disney World soon. This mother-daughter trip just doesn’t seem real. I know that we received this wonderful suitcase from American Tourister (#PackMoreFun) and Disney Social Media Moms Conference (#DisneySMMC) to start packing our bags, but still it seems surreal. From the pictures above you can see what…
