My new waffle maker came today so of course I have to immediately try it out. I knew I wanted something unique and savory to try so this is what I created. The meat of the day was the ground beef my daughter chose from the freezer and I immediately thought of Sloppy Joes like…

Hummus Crusted Chicken with Zucchini and Summer Squash
I needed inspiration for dinner. Supplies are low this week so I needed to use things I had on hand in the refrigerator and pantry. I was browsing through Pinterest because that is what I do daily. I saw the title of a Pin that someone had posted and I knew right away I wanted…
Courtney Thorne-Smith’s Spicy Beef
The past few days have been crazy. For the first time in ages I actually had someone stop over unexpectedly and was embarrassed as I was making dinner that just about half of the pans in my house still needed to be hand washed and the Sunday paper was still strewn across the living room. …
Ten Delicious Dishes to Change Your Mind About Chicken Breasts
I cook using chicken breasts in many of my recipes as I can usually buy them for $1.99 a pound or less when on sale. I usually buy them 20 to 30 pounds at a time so that I can use them the 6-8 week sale rotation until they will be back on sale…
Fourth of July Week – Grilling and Salads
I decided rather suddenly to take last week off from blogging and our dinners. We had company for the first part of the week and I was a bit fearful of feeding him some of my first attempt dishes so I decided to stick with the tried and true. Then it was my birthday and…

Taco Hot Dogs
This was a fun meal that turned out much better than I thought it would. A few weeks ago our local grocery store had a sale on all beef hot dogs. So, of course I bought four packages (won’t be on sale again for 4-6 weeks!). Then I had to think of ways to make…
Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Even in summer I love my slow cooker. I am still trying to use it at least 2-3 days a week to avoid having to think too much about dinner. I met several people at The Disney Social Media Moms Conference in Chicago last week who when I told them about my blog gave me…
Better than Take-Out Orange Chicken
So, when chicken breasts are $1.99 a pound or less I buy them in bulk. I cut some up into strips, some into cubes and leave some breasts whole. I add marinate to some of the bags of chicken before I freeze them. This way when I need cubed chicken, such as for this dish,…
Blackened Fish Tacos
This past weekend we attended an Irish Festival in Big Rapids, Michigan. It was the first year of this festival and it was quite a bit of fun. But we did not get back home until 1:15 am Saturday night. It threw the rest of our weekend out of order and by last night I…
Pork Carnitas Tacos with Pickled Onions
Back from two evenings off of making dinner. The conference I attended on Monday and Tuesday was fabulous. I can’t wait to share more of it in the coming days. But, I still had to cook dinner last night. When I explained my blog to people at the conference most asked me how I had…
Chicago Style Hot Dogs
I guess this is the perfect meal since I am heading today to the Disney Social Media Moms – On the Road even in Chicago today. I am so excited yet feeling like a guppy in a huge ocean. I LOVE Disney and will be spending this summer combining this blog with my Earning My…
