We are leaving in just a few days for a two-week vacation! I can’t wait. I have been following the temperatures in Orlando, Florida and although they have been colder than normal lately next week is predicted to be highs of 70-80. That is almost 100 degrees warmer than it is here right now. I…

Individual Layered Mexican Pizzas
We needed something really quick and easy for dinner tonight that would travel fairly well for our “To-Go” meals. I still have lots of ground beef to use and had left over cheese sauce from last night’s dinner that I really wanted to use in something. I hate throwing food away and am always looking…
Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes
I was recently talking on FB with a high school friend who told me she only uses her bread maker once or twice a year. I gave her some ideas for making dough with spices for pizza crusts and rolls. I told her I was even making part of our dinner as we chatted! I…
Bratwurst Macaroni and Cheese
We are back from our quick trip back home to visit my mother-in-law. At 96 years-old she just entered a nursing home. It has been tough on everyone but being 550 miles away from her as she makes this transition has been heartbreaking. She has gone from stage 3 Alzheimer’s to almost stage 7 in…
Slow Cooker Pork and Tomato Stew
This is another attempt to add more vegetables to our meals. I took out pork loin boneless chops the other day and when I went to search for a recipe nothing was particularly inspiring to me. That my children will tell you is dangerous as it means I will start creating something on my own….
Crab Topped Tilapia
Last night my family and I went through many of my blog posts from the past 2 years. It was fun talking about all the meals, what we liked and what we didn’t. It is amazing the memories tied to food. My children could tell from a meal if they were there for it, where…
Mini Rye Cheese Appetizers
For Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we eat mostly appetizers and the day after on the 26th we eat all the leftovers. This is one of the leftovers. We always have a discussion when we serve these. Most people have usually had them somewhere before but other different names – Mini Greek Pizzas, Onassis pizzas,…
My Take on James Beard’s Recipe for Beef Hash
I had about 3/4 of a pound of Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast leftover from the other night. I am one to use every little last bit of food possible and let nothing go to waste. Lately I have not done such a good job as I had to throw out an entire roast…
Ravioli Casserole
Time seems to be slipping away lately. I need to stretch the 24 hour days into 30. But, since I don’t think that is going to happen I need to work smarter not harder. So, to that this uses frozen ravioli with a homemade sauce. Yes, you can used jarred sauce or whatever you like…
Slow Cooker Chicken Gyros
My 200th post. I thought it would be something spectacular like boeuf bourguignon or something. Definitely not a chicken dish. But, it has been a long, strange journey for me and my family over the last 20 months. Moving twice in one year (don’t recommend it) threw a monkey wrench into everything, but despite two…
Pork Lo Mein
We were headed home on Sunday night from a long day of playing with nothing planned for dinner and two very hungry kids. I knew I needed to get dinner on the table quick with whatever I had in the refrigerator. We thought of spaghetti and sauce, meatball sandwiches and cans of soup. Yes, we…
