I will admit that this recipe took a bit more time than most of my other dinner dishes. I bought a package Gorton’s Fish Fillets a few weeks ago when they were on sale thinking I could use them for a quick dinner one night. What was I thinking? The minute I made the suggestion…

Fourth of July Week – Grilling and Salads
I decided rather suddenly to take last week off from blogging and our dinners. We had company for the first part of the week and I was a bit fearful of feeding him some of my first attempt dishes so I decided to stick with the tried and true. Then it was my birthday and…
Potatoes au Gratin with Ham
I love comfort food. I would eat mashed potatoes with gravy and meatloaf every day for dinner for weeks on end if the rest of the family would let me. The rest of my family are dessert eaters. I hardly ever eat ice cream or cookies. I would far prefer a side of corn casserole…
Pork Chops and Potatoes – One Pan
I love the end of the school year. It cannot come soon enough for us. We love being home together for three months. But, for the next 7 school days life is hectic. I am doing the big change over in clothes, coats and shoes. I put everything in bins sorted by person. So when…
Birthdays – German Dinner
It’s not every day you turn 14! The only time of year that I intentionally repeat dinners is on birthdays. In our house you are allowed to choose whatever you want for dinner on your birthday. My son chose pasta and meatballs last month. This month my daughter wanted a German dinner. Specifically, German potato…
Ham & Cheese Mashed Potato Pancakes
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…
Sausage Hash Casserole
Two more nights until vacation. Two more meals to try to create from my quickly dwindling pantry and refrigerator supplies. We are surprising our son with the vacation so every time he asks, “Why don’t you just go to the store and get x or y?” I have to tell him that it’s not pay…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Drunken Chicken
It is tax season in our house. That means that my other half is gone from 7 am to about 10 or 11 pm just about every day, including most weekends. Life goes on. There are still lessons for the kids, school meetings and parties, etc…. But, towards the end of this 3 month…
Country Pork Ribs over Smashed Potatoes
My kids LOVE ribs. I think they are second choice only to Chinese take-out if we tell them we are eating out. I have been working on cooking them over the last few months. The types of sauces, cooking methods and types of ribs are mind-boggling. I have just started trying a bit of this…
Slow Cooker Potatoes Au Gratin with Kielbasa
This dish didn’t turn out like I expected it to at all. It was actually better than what I thought it would be! I am trying to use my slow cooker as much as I can right now. The grocery store had 2 lb. bags of frozen diced potatoes on sale this week. Of course…
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…
Cheeseburger Frittata
As we are finishing eating out of our pantry, refrigerator and freezer to clean them all out it is getting harder and harder to come up with meals. The only thing I am buying is a few fresh fruits and vegetables and dairy. Other than that ingredients must all come from staples found in my…
