Life happens to all of us. It takes our best plans and turns them inside out and upside down. How do I keep us from eating out when days like this happen? By planning ahead. Really. I keep a stock of pre-made pizza crusts in the cupboard or the freezer, I have 2-3 packages of…

Ricotta Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza
This is my second attempt at a non-traditional pizza. I had ricotta cheese leftover from a recipe I made several days ago and I needed to use it up before it started to spoil. I have this “thing” about not letting food go bad. I try to use up everything I buy so that I…
Pesto and Sausage Pizza
Store bought pizza crusts have become my best friend. The last few weeks have been hectic and the next few days will be impossible. So I decided to make different kinds of pizza. This is my first experiment. I wanted to make pizzas that were “different” from the traditional red sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni. So,…
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 Creamy Tortellini
I LOVE my slow cooker. I use it as much as possible and am always scouring the web for new recipes. This recipe is a mixture of several different recipes. I wanted something creamy but not soup, which was most of the slow cooker recipes using tortellini, and no meat. So, I tried this. It…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Chicken
Chicken is the meat of August I guess. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts were $1.69 a pound on sale so of course I had to buy over 12 pounds of them. I never could resist a sale. For some women it is shoes, for me it is meat. So I have cut some up into chunks,…
Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Chips II
My daughter had a friend over for dinner last night. I asked if there was anything she didn’t like and the only answer I got was spaghetti. Well, I wasn’t going to serve that anyway so I thought I was fairly safe. But, I don’t do kid food very well. We are not a hamburger,…
Spaghetti Pie II – with Ricotta Cheese
This is normally how I make Spaghetti Pie. I tried the sour cream and cream cheese version that I found on Pinterest a few weeks ago (recipe here) but I prefer this Spaghetti Pie. For my family it was a toss-up. They liked them both for different reasons. My son hates ricotta cheese so I…
Parmesan Pasta Salad
We are nearing the end of our “No Buy July” month and my cupboards are getting pretty bare. I am having to become more and more creative in my meals. I saw this recipe on Pinterest for Pasta Salad with Creamy Parmesan Dressing from Grumpy’s Honeybunch. The recipe sounded delicious but I did not have…
Zucchini/Squash Parmesan Crisps
I am fortunate in that my children really do like most vegetables. But, I am searching for new ways to serve them as we are getting tired of the same boiled or roasted vegetables over and over again. I saw this recipe on Pintrest and had to give it a try. The Zucchini Parmesan Crisps…
