My family has been a bit obsessed by bowls lately. I think it is such a novel idea that they can eat dinner out of a bowl rather than on a plate that they actually are eating more vegetables and grains this way. I didn’t have brown rice mix which is what I REALLY wanted…

Simple Stove-top Homemade Creamy Macaroni and Cheese
My kids love Southern style macaroni and cheese (baked) but it takes so long to bake that it is really not practical to make for a quick-lunch. This version is done in less than 20 minutes start to finish. Perfect for a nice family lunch on the weekend or make a batch and heat it…
Our Adventures in Creating Adventurous Eaters – Part I
Image from Google Images I had another conversation a few days ago with a mom who was convinced her children would not eat anything at all like I make for my family. I have this conversation quite often with parents and I have written about it several times on this blog. It usually starts with…
Sesame Chicken and Broccoli
We are stuck on chicken right now. Chicken breasts were only $1.59 a pound in bulk at our local grocery store so we have 30 lbs. of chicken in the freezer! Lots of chicken dishes will be appearing this month. We are just finishing up a No Buy January when we clean our cupboards and…
Sausage Egg and Cheese Rolls – Great Freezer Breakfast or Quick Dinner
We are always trying to come up with easy breakfasts in our house. I do NOT make breakfast. Both children are old enough to make simple breakfasts on their own. I will sometimes have leftovers such as pancakes or waffles that we will double or triple the recipes to freeze for later breakfasts during the…
German Oven Pancake
I did a bit of digging to find out what is the difference between a Dutch Baby and German Pancakes. This is more a hybrid between the two dishes. The Dutch Baby has the same basic ingredients as this dish but is to be prepared in a special pan. The German Pancake is similar but…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Chili
The lower the pantry cupboards and freezer gets the harder it is to come up with quick easy meals. I am scouring the cupboards and freezer trying to put things together that make sense. We have quite a few cans of beans, tomatoes, and corn left from the November canned goods sale at our local…
Southern Fried Pork Chops
My children tend not to really like pork. They will eat it if it has enough sauce – garlic, soy, or even A-1. But, if I gave them a choice I think this would be the last choice of meat they would ask to have for dinner. I don’t over cook it. It is not…
Wow! What I Have Learned in 5 Years of Blogging
I actually began this blog in 2012 but didn’t really start writing until the following year. 2012 was a year of turmoil for us. We got married (again, legally this time), my partner lost her job in a company buy-out, she got a new job in Michigan, we moved 600 miles to a super small…
My Top 5 Recipes for January 2018
Every last Saturday of the month I gather my top 3-5 recipes from the month. Sometimes they are older recipes that people have come back to look for or new ones that I have made during the month. This month definitely had a comfort food feel about it and my top recipes are definite comfort…
Pork Medallions Piccata
We are still working our way through the freezer in “No Buy January.” That means quite a few larger cuts of meat that I am finding. I am cutting them down to make smaller cuts such as the pork loin that I bought on sale a month or two ago for $1.59 a pound is…
Barbecue Hawaiian Pizza
The ham is going away. I have used three meals from it – ham and baked potatoes, ham and cheese hashbrown casserole, and now barbecue Hawaiian pizza. My family isn’t tired of it because each dish has highlighted a different flavor and is something completely different. But, before they do tire of the ham I…
