There are days that I forget to start dinner until it is just about time for my family to start complaining that they are hungry. We all do it. I have a month of meals planned to choose from so I usually have something I can make quickly. Not the other night. It was the…

Slow Cooker Mexican Spiced Boneless Pork Ribs
We’re having a heat wave! Well, it really is 10 degrees out but the sun is shining! That makes all the difference in the world. Everyone I have met today seems in a good mood. Usually people have their heads bowed and their hands shoved in their pockets and are doing the quick shuffle as…
Skillet Chicken and Broccoli with Cheese
The weather still is yucky here and it seems like it is not going to return to “normal” any time soon. The high temperatures don’t even break half of what the average normal temperatures are supposed to be this time of year. Each day I hear the meteorologist say, “There is no end in sight…
Italian Sausage Patty Melt
The “Winter Blues” have definitely taken over. I hate being cold. The perfect temperature for me is between 67 and 72 outside. The -4 degree temperatures are awful! I don’t like snow, other than at Christmas. Even two weeks in Florida did not help as we came back to record cold temperatures. So, the desire…
Chicken Stir-Fry with Garlic Sauce
Still dealing with the fall-out from the stomach flu in our house. I thought mine would be gone in about the same 24-48 hours as everyone else. Of course not! I am now going on my sixth day. I do not want to feel queasy all the time. I started this post last week but…
Slow Cooker Gumbo with Quinoa
I missed a whole day yesterday. Because of a perfect storm of events I ended up staying in bed all day yesterday. Which sounds perfect to most moms but the stomach flu that accompanied the day was awful. I was the last to get it in our family and actually thought my Super Mom powers…
Slow Cooker Korean Pork Tacos
Getting back into the “real” world after vacation has been tough. The bitter cold and snow is just making things worse. I don’t like being cold so I tend to hibernate unless I really have to go out. I needed to pick up my son at school so I stopped at the grocery store for…
Tuscan Chicken Skillet Dinner
So after vacation my cupboards are still pretty bare. I have some meat left in the freezer but as it has been about 10 degrees most of the day I have not wanted to go out grocery shopping. We picked up a few things on the way home but I need to get creative for…
Smothered Chicken Casserole
We are coming to the end of “N0-Buy” January in our house. That means lots of chicken and potatoes. Normally I serve lots of chicken but potatoes, especially white potatoes, are not used very often by us. That is probably why I have so many to use up now. “No-Buy” January is never easy but…
Fish Cakes
Other than fresh fruits and vegetables another item my family needs to eat more of is fish. We all actually like seafood very much but I just don’t tend to cook it that often. I am going to start striving to incorporate seafood at least once a week in our meals. I know fried fish…
Chicken Alfredo Casserole
Every once in a while my family loves a good, home-cooking casserole. The right combinations in a casserole can almost feel like a warm hug from when you were a child. They can evoke memories from your past. I always find it amazing to stop and think about the way food effects us emotionally and…
Boneless Barbecue Pork Ribs
I am all about saving money on my food bills. Pork and chicken tend to be the cheaper cuts of meat right now in our area. So, we eat lots of pork and chicken. I try to cook it a bit differently each time so my family does not realize they are eating the same…
