I needed a quick and easy dish for dinner last night as I knew we had to be out of the house one hour after getting home from school. I searched my refrigerator and knew I needed to finish off the last of the ham, vegetables and mashed potatoes leftover from Easter Dinner. What do…

Ravioli Pizza Bake
As we await the phone call regarding my mother-in-law’s passing we are trying to keep things as normal as possible for the kids. They know Grandma is near the end and what that means but their lives are still going on. There was a Talent Show at the Middle School for my daughter to prepare…
Pizza Pot Pie
This is one of those dinners that start out as one thing and ends up completely different from what you imagined. This month is incredibly busy so I am trying to make having dinner not add to the stress of our lives but rather enhance it. Our dinner time is the time we can sit…
Meatloaf Parmesan
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…
Ranch Baked Boneless Pork Chops
Friday was another Snow Day. It wasn’t so much for the snow but the negative wind chills that had them closing schools. When it starts to get down to -20 I want warm comfort food. I had a package of boneless pork steaks in my refrigerator. I started searching the web for a recipe that…
Meatball Pizza Pasta
After last night’s lighter dinner of Asian Ground Beef Lettuce Cups my children were looking for something heartier for dinner tonight. Everyone was hungry and looking for a warm, filling meal. For me that means pasta or potatoes. After a glance through the pantry and freezer I decided it was going to be pasta for…
No Dough Pizza
We are still in a “No-Buy” January mode that is helping me clean out my basement pantry and freezer. We are in full on saving mode for our Walt Disney World trip. So, I need to find dishes that use things I normally stock in my pantry, freezer and kitchen and are fairly simple and…
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,…
Moussaka Like Casserole
Last night I took ground beef out of the freezer. I needed a quick casserole to get on the table. I have always wanted to try making Moussaka but never seemed to quite get around to buying the eggplant. I love Greek flavors and when I saw this recipe for a Moussaka like casserole on…
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…
Chicken Parmigiana with Sauce
It has been ages since I made Chicken Parmigiana. Since my son has been gluten-free almost 5 years ago now I try to limit having to make two meals every night when I can. I have learned to “adapt” our dinners for him so I usually divide everything without gluten into 1/3 for him and…
