Spring Break is over. Sigh. It always takes a few days for us to get back into the routine of school, classes and work. It seems so easy to get out of the routine but so hard to restart it. Even knowing that the first day back will be rough the actual reality always seems…

Spicy One Pot Sausage Soup
I needed a quick dish for dinner last night. I didn’t even start cooking until 6:00 pm. I had one pound of Italian sausage thawed in the refrigerator and needed to come up with something easy that would be on the table within half an hour. Sausage soup! Verdict: This dish had tons of flavor,…
Tofu Pad Thai
I am still learning how to cook with tofu. This is only my second attempt. I am hoping to branch out more and more with the different flavors that I can blend it into. I am thankful that my kids are up for anything. I can see my family starting to slowly embrace more meatless…
Courtney Thorne-Smith’s Spicy Beef
The past few days have been crazy. For the first time in ages I actually had someone stop over unexpectedly and was embarrassed as I was making dinner that just about half of the pans in my house still needed to be hand washed and the Sunday paper was still strewn across the living room. …
Italian Sausage Lasagna Casserole
I tried to get this post finished on Friday before we left for the Detroit Feis. I didn’t make it. Between picking my daughter up at a slumber party, physical therapy for her, a grocery store run and bagging all the food before we left at 1:00 pm I didn’t quite make my deadline to…
Pork Chops with Onion Gravy
I love dinners like this because you can start making them and have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes. I definitely need more of these as the month goes on. There seems to be less and less time in the day to fit everything in. Verdict: Even my little onion haters liked this…
Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
Pork Fried Rice
One last To-Go dinner before vacation! I am ready to burst with excitement. We are heading to Walt Disney World. I am a master planner so I have breakfasts and dinners booked for our stay. Half are our old favorites such as Biergarten, Crystal Palace and Cape May Cafe’ and the rest are new to…
Hoisin Barbecue Hot Dogs
This is a very strange picture. I get that. But, this dinner was one I needed to get ready on the fly. They look much better in a hot dog bun, but we were out of those. Every once in a while I need to make hot dogs. Not my first pick for a meal…
Modenese Pork Chops
I think I need to change my blog from “What’s for Dinner Mom?” to “Dinner on the Run.” It seems like I am rushing all the time lately to either get dinner on the table or to get it in a bowl so we can rush out the door and eat in the car. With…
Ham and Swiss Impossible Pie
I needed to find something quick using all the ingredients I had in my refrigerator and I came up with this. It is a take-off on Impossibly Cheeseburger Pie from Bettycrocker.com. It was a hit. Quick, easy and cheesy all the things my family and I love. Ingredients: 1 lb diced ham 1 Tablespoon of…
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…
