Of all the summer/early fall favorite flavors I have to say basil pesto is one of my favorite. This is one of my newly acquired tastes. There are many foods I never tried until I was an adult. Sour cream, broccoli, pesto, and grape leaves to name a few. I love them all now, but…

Super Simple Slow Cooker Vegetable Soup
My kitchen is not magic. Food does not just appear at dinner time when everyone is ready to eat. Lately, it has been tough to get everything together. This new back-to-school schedule is kicking my butt. This is the first full week with everything, except community orchestra for my son. We have slowly been adding…
Apple Pie Pancakes
Sometimes breakfast for dinner is a great option when you are looking to have dinner on the table quickly. Whether it is pancakes, waffles or eggs dinner can be fun and on the table quickly. Apples are plentiful and inexpensive in our area right now and we have gotten several bunches in our CSA share….
Old Fashioned Butter Chicken
It was a crazy, busy weekend this week so there were no weekend posts like usual. I have only missed posting 6 days in the last 5 weeks. There was a Feis at the Michigan Irish Festival this weekend and on Sunday we went to see the National Touring Company of Wicked. Why have I…
Blueberry Muffins
I am not big on making breakfast during the week. Cereal, toast, eggs or oatmeal but that is about it. We have a couple big bag of blueberries in the freezer and my daughter really wanted to make muffins. I had her defrost a couple of cups of the berries to make some muffins to…
Steak Burgers
I try to take my family’s tastes and what they like into account when I make my menus. Yes, I do try to stretch them, and myself, a bit at times with food choices but sometimes comfort food and a simple hamburger or hot dog are all you want. My kids wanted hamburgers and fries…
Pulled Pork Pizza
My son loves Pulled Pork. I am okay with it. I do love barbecue sauce though. So, when he asked for Pulled Pork Pizza I was okay with it. I put the pork loin in the slow cooker first thing in the morning and when I got home later in the day I was able…
Pizza Stuffed Shells
Yesterday I wrote about our Loco Moco dinner and making this meal at the same time (click for link to original post). What helped me was my meal plan for the month. I could look at it and realize I have a bit of extra time one night and another night with little time to make…
Chicken Drumsticks and Vegetables
Even with playing this game of making a different dish every weeknight for my family, for almost two years now, I try to save money on my grocery bills. Drumsticks this week were $.49 a pound. Drumsticks are not my favorite choice in meat but the kids love them and they can be made in…
Chicken Caesar Salad
So, school has started and we begin the balance of lessons, classes and homework. Dinner once again needs to be thought out and planned ahead of time. Yes, I plan my meals a month at a time but you really can do it with just a week worth of meals if you want. If you…
Cake Mix Cinnamon Bundt Cake – Back to School Breakfast
When we were kids if we wanted a sweet treat we had to bake it. If you wanted cookies, cake or pie it was up to you to make it. By the time I was 12 or 13 I had several Betty Crocker recipes committed to memory. We VERY rarely used cake or brownie mixes….
