I received this product free from Influenster in exchange for my unbiased review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I remember Country Crock from when I was a kid. We had big giant brown tubs of it in the refrigerator and ate it on toast and bread every day. About 10 – 15 years…

Slow Cooker Corned Beef Stew
Using up my frozen Corned Beef leftovers from St. Patrick’s Day I made a simple stew in the slow cooker. It was nice to come home to the smell of corned beef filing the house and knowing with a nice loaf of crusty bread and some butter dinner would be ready! Verdict: Corned beef is…
Easy Barbecue Chicken Nachos
“Some days are like that, even in Australia,” is a sentence that is said around our house on bad days. It is from the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst. Everything goes wrong for Alexander all day long. Maybe things are better in Australia? At the very…
Broccoli Tots
I have seen Broccoli Tots on tons of blogs and a video or two. The videos always make things look so easy but they tend to make things look a little too simplistic at times. I wondered if it would be as tasty as they looked and if they were really as easy to make…
Stuffed Tilapia
You know I try to use up everything in my freezer and pantry. Throwing away food bothers me. Not only for the amount of money I am wasting but I feel guilty about the energy, animals and everything else that went into making or growing the food I bought. I was cleaning up the freezer…
Pepperoni Pizza Burgers
Life is settling back down again. Well, as much as my life can settle down. Being done with St. Patrick’s week is a huge relief. Now, we have illness running through the house but I figure with yesterday being the first day of Spring we can’t be too far from being able to open all…
Rigatoni with Zesty Pasta Sauce
St. Patrick’s Day (week) is now over. My daughter and I have been gone most of the past week so she could dance in nursing homes, schools and a few bars for charity. It was fun but TIRING! I never seem to sleep well in hotels and we were eating out every day so my…
Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
My son also had Science Olympiad in the middle of all the Irish dancing my daughter did this week. His middle school team came in first in Regionals so they will be heading States at the end of April. He was so very excited. This is their Scrambler car. They have been working on it…
Irish Dancing and Baked Reuben Egg Rolls
For the last three days we have been out of town while my daughter has been Irish dancing. They visit nursing homes and schools for a few days before St. Patrick’s Day and on St. Patrick’s Day as a form of community service. They also performed at the Kalamazoo Hooley for Healing, a fundraiser to…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Spaghetti and Chicken
So, I am crying, “Uncle” for the next week or so. Next Thursday is Saint Patrick’s Day and between tonight and next Thursday my daughter will be dancing 6 days in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Lansing. This is our favorite time of year. My daughter loves dancing in the schools and nursing homes. So, I…
Zesty Cajun Pasta
During the summer and most of the winter we don’t eat dinner until at least 8:00 pm. By then, in the summer, if it is warm the sun is getting low in the sky and we are just getting hungry. Since the sun doesn’t set here until well after 9:00 pm these days it works…
Pepperoni and Bacon Pizza
This was an unusual meal. The meal preparation was going great up until we went to put the pizza into the oven. I have been reading all different suggestions for making better pizza. We make pizza at least once a week and I am always disappointed in the crust. So, what do I do? I…
