Last night being Halloween I wanted something extra easy to have for dinner. This was it! I took our favorite flavors and blended them with a beef roast in the slow cooker. I only had to add mashed potatoes and carrots for our comfort food dinner before heading out on the spooky, cold evening. Verdict:…

Soba Noodles with Spicy Ground Beef Sauce
Last night’s dinner was another – Oh no! I need to find something quick meal. What I thought was Italian sausage was really ground beef. A quick look through Pinterest, because that is what we all do when we need something quick, and I found Szechuan Noodles with Spicy Beef Sauce from Food.com. I did…
Hamburger Steaks with Onion Gravy
I am still on the comfort food kick. I think I have had more types of mashed potatoes over the last two weeks than I can ever remember. I had hamburger thawing and as my children say, “Mom, can’t just make plain hamburgers.” So, off in search of a recipe I went. I found this…
Bacon Cheeseburger with Balsamic Onion Bacon Jam
The cheeseburger looks a bit gray in this picture but it looked better on the plate. I had a half a package of bacon to use leftover from the other night. I hate having food spoil especially bits and ends of jars and things I buy to make a recipe. I try to group several…
Loaded Cowboy Potato Puffs
On these busy back-to-school weekends we are trying to still cram as much summer fun in as we can before the snow flies. Saturdays are already book for the next month with dance competitions, festivals and trips. We will try to spend Sundays at the beach as long as the weather holds. We usually have…
Moo Shu Pork
My family LOVES Chinese food. If they are going to ask to go out to dinner 90% of the time they will ask to go out for Chinese food. I have decided to try to begin making more of it at home. It is cheaper, healthier and did I say cheaper? After searching through hundreds…
Crunchy Chicken Casserole
Well, I guess September is going to be a month of chicken and ground beef dinners. Just completed our monthly shop (yes, I only shop once a month except for fresh produce and dairy). This week the best sales were on ground beef and chicken so several packages of each were just frozen. I cooked…
Sausage Alfredo Pizza
The weather the past two weeks in Michigan has been down right Fall like. I have been craving pizza and needed to make something other than plain, old red sauce with sausage. I found this recipe for Deep Dish Alfredo Pizza on Allrecipes.com. I knew I wasn’t going to make a deep dish pizza as…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Chicken over Wild Rice
I have passed over this recipe for Crockpot Pineapple Chicken on Pinterest at least one hundred times. I kept thinking how can this be good? There is nothing in it. Sure, it looked easy but … would it be tasty? Finally I had to give it a try. I needed a quick easy dinner and…
Slow Cooker Sausage Breakfast Casserole
My family loves breakfast for dinner. They would like it if I made breakfast for them 3 times a day. I like breakfast foods just not as much as they do. I had a package of breakfast sausage I wanted to use so I searched for a recipe that thought everyone would like and would…
Pepperoni and Sausage Calzones
I like to make things easier on myself when I can. A few months ago I bought a Fleishmann’s Italian Herb Bread Mix when it was on sale and I had a coupon. Yes, I try to shop as cheaply and simply as I can. But, it has been sitting in my cupboard since…
