Confession time. I still have my Christmas tree up. We decided in January we were going to leave it up all year. We love looking at the lights at night. We don’t light it every night but decided to decorate if for the holidays. I just ordered some green lights for St. Patrick’s Day. Which…

Steak and Bleu Cheese Tostadas
We are coming off our 9th Snow Day this school year. After this I think the kids need to start making up days. We got three extra days from the state because of the State of Emergency a few weeks ago for cold weather but we are still running low. This never happens. Things around…
Cashew Chicken II
I love simple and quick meals. Quick to me is anything under 30 minutes. This recipe clocked in at about 35 ish so for me that was good. If I had left out the broccoli it would have been about 25 minutes. What saves time is having meat and vegetables prepped early. When I freeze…
Week 6 Christmas Treats: Mississippi Mud Brownies
When I was younger I was the master of making unique desserts out of boxed brownie mixes. Then I discovered the joy of homemade brownies. I could whip up a batch in no time. But, lately my kids have wanted to make brownies from a box. I am fine with that. They both know how…
Parmesan Simple Chicken
Finishing the last day of cleaning out our freezer. We have a turkey and a few bits and pieces that we are pulling to our upstairs freezer to use in the next week or they need to go. I love having a clean freezer to start again. We had a package of chicken left to…
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
We are pretending it is almost Spring. We had grilled hot dogs with macaroni salad and brown beans. We almost never have hot dogs so the kids thought this was a real treat. Sitting on the floor in the living room pretending that it is Spring may be the way I survive the next month…
Country Egg and Sausage Breakfast Casserole
The cold has broken and it was over a 90 degree temperature change between yesterday and last week. Things are getting slushy so we are trying to get everything up and off the driveway and sidewalks so that it doesn’t freeze. At least it is warm enough now to do this. End of the month…

Week 5 Christmas Treats: Chocolate Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes
I really like making a treat a week. I thought this was going to be tough for me and it is, but it is also fun. I am going back and remembering things I used to make 20-25 years ago that I haven’t made in ages. The family is loving being taste testers too. Baking…
Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza
Not a great picture but this was a yummy pizza. This pizza was created because we had chicken to use up and I am always trying to find new ways to make the dishes we love in new ways. One of my favorite things is to take a meal we love and turn it into…
Copy-Cat KFC Bowls
We were having a bad day and I was going to take my son over to KFC to pick up lunch. The kids had a half day for mid-terms and wanted a hearty lunch. I decided instead to stop at the grocery store to pick up the ingredients for the bowls that he likes so…
Southwest Slow Cooker Chicken Stew
Temperatures for Wednesday are predicted to be -10 to -15 without windchill and about -40 with windchill warming soup and bread sound really good to me. This is one of our favorite soups. You can add bits and pieces of whatever you have left in your vegetable drawer – diced pepper, sliced carrots, or celery….
