We are still eating comfort foods this week. With Christmas right around the corner we are going for easy meals that are filling and feel like a warm hug. Tonight we had Bacon Grilled Cheese Hamburgers, tomato soup and peas. This meal took me back to my college days. Verdict: We all loved this meal. …

Scalloped Potatoes with Ground Beef
Things are getting busier day by day here. Another night, another casserole. I am trying to not spend any more money before Christmas so we are going to be using everything I can out of the pantry and freezer. I went searching for a dish that used ground beef and potatoes that I could make…
Nachos with Beef
My kids really wanted to go out to eat. Being just over a week to Christmas Day the budget cried, “No.” So, we started to brainstorm about what we could make that would make them feel like they were going out. They wanted nachos, soda and dessert. I started Googling restaurant style nachos. Every single…
Slow Cooker Bottom Round Steak
So last night’s dinner was not a casserole. I found a really great deal on Bottom Round Steak at the local grocery store that I just could not pass up. When I got it home I realized I had no idea how to cook it. It was about 2 1/2″ thick and had a fairly…
Skillet Lasagna
Yes, we are still on the one pan, casserole or soup dinners. Things are starting to get crazy here, well, I guess they are always a bit crazy just more hectic. I came home last night and sat staring at the refrigerator. Both kids were asking when dinner was going to be done. Half an…
Creamy Taco Soup
I have a feeling I am going to be making lots of soups and casseroles until after Christmas. Time seems to be slipping away from me. I am thankful that I had almost all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving. I like to have it all done and wrapped by December 1st so I can…
Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs
This is a very strange picture. I get that. But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly. They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs. Not my first pick for a meal…
Vegetable Lo Mein
We have been on a HUGE Chinese food kick lately. We love the flavors and my kids love noodles and rice with anything. Plus I love that I can use up the bits and pieces of stuff from my refrigerator in it. I had bought two bags of broccoli slaw mix when it was on…
Barbecue Sauce Hot Dogs with Various Toppings.
Barbecue Hot Dog with Caramelized Onions and Broccoli Slaw I try to make dinners for my family that are different and tasty. I try to round out each meal with a salad and vegetable. To be honest I try to get 2 vegetables at each meal I can in addition to the salad. But, we…
Slow Cooker German Style Beef Roast
I had another beef roast in the freezer. The first thing I thought was “Oh no, not again.” It seems we have a beef roast lately at least once a week and I was running out of ideas of what to do with it to make into a different meal for my family. Well, back…
Italian Sausage with Roasted Balsamic Vegetables
With Veteran’s Day and then a SNOW DAY (yes, a real snow day) now behind us I can finally get back to posting. It is hard to write with my children around. That is mostly my fault because I love having them home so I tend to want to spend all my time with them….
Slow Cooker Hungarian Goulash
My slow cooker has been working over time lately. I love that I can put a bunch of stuff in it early in the morning and then not have to think about dinner until I come home or I am getting the kids ready for our to go meals. I found this recipe on Pinterest…
