My daughter came to me at 2:00 and said she needed a treat with her to her teen library group’s Christmas party. Um, I have 90 minutes to come up with something quick and in that time I need to accomplish the other 20 tasks I had originally scheduled during this time. Google is king….

Glazed Pork Roast and Mashed Cauliflower
So, I have been trying to take better pictures lately but I don’t have a light box like most bloggers and I am trying to snap pictures as my children are grabbing plates to eat. Sometimes like this picture they are a bit fuzzy or the lighting in our kitchen is poor. But, you get…
Chicken and Cabbage Stir Fry
It’s almost Christmas and I am still trying to keep our food budget from breaking the bank this month. I am trying to save money to use towards nice Christmas Eve and Christmas Day brunch and dinners. I still need to buy wine and meat for those meals and don’t want to dip into the…
Spaghetti Squash Lasagna
I have been trying to get my family to eat more fruits and vegetables and less meat, cookies, and candy. Now, that it is the holiday season getting them to eat less candy and cookies is almost impossible but I am giving them more fruits and vegetables. I bought 2 small spaghetti squashes thinking I…
Hershey Kiss Chocolate Snowballs
I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. I love Influenster. I have received products from Fekkai, Breyers, Puffs, Ivory and others to test and give my honest feed back on. This past week I was sent a bag of Hershey’s Kisses to use for #Kissmas. If you are interested in joining…
Spaghetti Pizza Casserole
Busy, busy time of year. That means I have to be on top of my dinner plans or we will be eating take-out or going to restaurants. Not, the money I want to be spending this time of year. Also, I need to have quick easy dinners I can make ahead, put in a slow…
French Onion Beef Stroganoff
My daughter hates onions. She hates the smell and will pick them painstakingly out of each and every dish I make if she sees one. I have learned to finely mince the onions I am adding to most dishes so she can’t even see them. But, she LOVES French onion soup and onion rings. She…
Cheesy Chicken Manicotti
This week is shaping up to be the week of casseroles and skillet dinners. We have concerts, meetings, shopping and schoolwork to finish up before the 19th. Thankfully school will be out after that and we can really relax before Christmas. G had his first 6th Grade Orchestra concert. They don’t start instruments here until…
Chocolate Meatball Cookies
This is a recipe that came from my grandmother. I remember these cookies from when we were little going to her house for the family Christmas Eve party. I LOVED them then and still do today. I hope someday that my children will be making these cookies with their children so the tradition will continue…
Cowboy Casserole II
So, this dinner was supposed to be entirely different. Well, it was supposed to be a Cowboy Lasagna like at Peppermint Mocha Mama.blogspot.com. The problem was I started reading the reviews. Many said it needed more flavor, the tater tots were mushy not crispy, it used canned tomato soup which I don’t use. So, what…
Slow Cooker Schweinbraten (Bavarian Pork Roast)
I think if my children had to choose which ethnic food they would put in their top 10 German food would be somewhere in the top 3. I think it would be hard for them to choose between Mediterranean, German and Asian foods. When I took a pork roast out of the freezer the other…
Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
