After a long weekend of being sick and not being able to tolerate any solids I am at least back to cooking. Not eating but cooking. This was a dish that my children helped create because we needed to get everything ready to go to dance class and I was trying to figure out how…

Pizza Lasagna
This has been a rough week. I am not motivated to cook or be creative at all. I am waiting to the last possible second to start dinners and I end up scrambling around to see what we have to make. I am thankful for my list of monthly meals to choose from but sometimes,…
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…
Italian Sausage Skillet Dinner
This is another one of those recipes that I started with what I could find on-line and then ventured off into unknown territory as I was missing some of the ingredients in the original recipe from Pillsbury.com for Skillet Lasagna. This was again a dinner for my family to eat on-the-go. It traveled well although…
Hawaiian Macaroni Salad
This is not the best picture of the dish that is now my favorite summer side but it was all I had. This dish disappeared quickly. Now, I admit that we love vinegar in all its forms. The sweet with a bit of a sour bite after is one thing we look for in dishes. …
Pepperoni Pizza Casserole
I needed a quick dinner so that I could get the family out the door and to the Science Fair for my son and middle school scheduling night for my daughter. So, this was another to-go dinner. As anyone who has read my posts in the past knows, at least two nights a week my…
Shrimp with Bertolli Vodka Sauce
I can count on my two hands the number of times I have bought jarred spaghetti sauce. To me it is just easier to use crushed tomatoes and spices and make my own. Plus having a child with many food sensitivities makes finding ready to use products difficult. But, there was a sale last week…
Paula Deen’s – Bobby’s Goulash
There is a story for this recipe as there almost always seems to be. I had planned on making Buttermilk fried chicken tonight but when I went to take the chicken out of the refrigerator it was still frozen solid! After two days of “thawing” in the refrigerator I couldn’t even break the chicken into…
Baked Italian Sausage and Pasta
I had Italian Sausage in the freezer and needed a quick weeknight meal so it quickly became a pasta bake. The sausage was frozen so I sliced it to cook quicker. I threw in a pepper and onion near the end of when it was cooking to soften slightly. When the sausage was done cooking…
Penne Pasta with Spaghetti Sauce and Turkey Meatballs
Tonight’s dinner was completely from the freezer, box and jar. Dance nights are for quick meals. We used Wegman’s Turkey Meatballs for the first time. They were okay for a pinch but they were a bit dry and flavorless. I far prefer the turkey meatballs I normally buy at BJs. I cannot even remember the…
Lobster, Mussels and Pasta
This was one of my kids favorite dishes. I made it easy by buying the lobster and mussels pre-cooked and flash frozen. Working as a tax preparer this is our busiest season so anything I can do to make meal preparation easier I take advantage of it during this time of year. The meal…
