The weather is amazing lately. Over the last two weeks there have been several days where the lake has been battering the shore. The first week up to 20 feet of shore was washed away by the waves. It is so powerful that you cannot believe that you are on the lake and not the…

Simple Skillet Pineapple Pork Chops
One last pork chop recipe for August. We are nearing the end of using all of our $1.69 mixed cut pork chops that we bought a few weeks ago to help stretch our budget. Though my family has not complained, well too much, about the number of times we have had pork chops they have…
Sweet and Sour Spam
Sweet and Sour Spam. Wait, what? Yes, you read that right. Sweet and Sour Spam. This is one of those foods that most people have some sort of love/hate relationship with. It may stir up bad memories of childhood dinners or good memories of grandma frying a slice for breakfast. Wherever you fall on the…
Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pork Chops
It is Spring Break here and we are trying to make the most of it. Lots of Spring cleaning going on even though it feels like February instead of April. I want to get all the windows open but not quite time yet. So, we are washing walls, baseboards and cleaning out all the cupboards…
Slow Cooker Pineapple Teriyaki Pork Chops
This has been an amazing weekend. A Feis in Muskegon, Michigan and a day of relaxation with a bit of cider tasting thrown in. We saw a full rainbow on the way to Muskegon. It was amazing. The kids were saying how long it has been since they had seen one so full and bright. …
Grilled Ham and Pineapple Skewers
This is not a great picture of this dish. Our local grocery store had whole pineapples on sale for $1.49 this week. I have bought 2 so far but am going back today for 2 more. They are so sweet the kids were begging for fresh pineapple last night. We are still in a No…
Grilled Ham with Pineapple Salsa
I am not an adventurous eater. I think I want to make my children better about tasting new foods because I am so reluctant to do so. I never ate broccoli until I was in college. I found out I LOVED it if it is cooked properly. But, it was green, smelled funny and no…

Slow Cooker Easy Barbecue Pork Ribs
We spent the weekend doing family stuff. My daughter looked at me and asked, “Is Saturday Family Day now?” I LOVED that! For so long Saturday has been our catch-up day. All the laundry, cleaning or shopping that we didn’t get done during the week was always left for Saturday. Now, we have time to…
Sweet and Sour Ham
My kids go back to school the day after Labor Day. We are trying to take advantage of every minute we can at the beach and playgrounds. So, that means we often don’t even think about dinner until 8:00 pm or later. I tell my children we eat like Europeans. This was one of those…
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…
Sweet Little Smokie Sausages
This is not a great picture but these disappear so quickly around my house it is impossible for me to get a picture! This is the easiest appetizer to make and everyone always loves it. The pineapple bits and the little Smokies with the sweet sauce are delicious! Ingredients: 2 packages of Hillshire Little Smokies…
