This meal started with a Facebook post from Hellman’s Mayonnaise featuring Trisha Yearwood making her after Thanksgiving Creamy Turkey Casserole that uses up those bits and pieces leftover from your big dinner. The video can be seen here and the original recipe for Creamy Turkey Casserole here. It sounded a bit strange but very easy. …

Real Pumpkin Pie
Most real (not canned even if is says real pumpkin) pie recipes I found recommended using Pie Pumpkins or Sugar Pumpkins for baking. I didn’t have either one of those. I had an 8 lb. Halloween pumpkin that my children did not carve this year. I follow the Tim Gunn motto of life, “Make it…
Slow Cooker Beef Stew made with Balsamic Vinegar and Sweet Potatoes
As I look at the thermometer and see it is only 29 degrees but feels like 19 degrees I am already thinking about what warm, comforting foods I can make for dinner tonight. As the days get colder my slow cooker is going to be getting a good workout. I started this recipe by perusing…
Slow Cooker Herbed Pork Loin with Gravy
Last week while my parents were visiting from North Carolina we had an early Christmas celebration complete with tree decorating, cookies and stockings. My little elves waited until Grandma and Papa went to bed and then they began working. All the Christmas boxes went from the basement to the upstairs and the tree went together. …
Savory French Fry Casserole
Well, at the Feis (Irish Arts/Dance Competition) this weekend my daughter severely sprained her left foot. Which wouldn’t be so bad if she hadn’t already had a brace on because she sprained her right ankle. So, after an x-ray at the Emergency Room she has a boot on her left foot. No, dancing for at…
Slow Cooker French Dip
As I looked through my past posts this year I cannot believe how often I use my slow cooker. I leave it right on my counter to use as much as possible. It has saved me many times when I just could not figure out what we were going to have for dinner. Yesterday was…
Slow Cooker “Healthier” Butter Chicken
So when I read this recipe for Slow Cooker Butter Chicken from Damn Delicious.net it threw me off a bit. I couldn’t figure out why people kept referring to Butter Chicken when this recipe has no butter in it. Then I did some research. The British used butter and heavy cream to make this Indian…
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,…
Cheese Tortellini and Ravioli with Garlic Brown Butter
What to make when the groceries are running low and the pantry staples just aren’t speaking to me? I had half a bag of frozen ravioli and half a bag of frozen tortellini. Neither was enough to feed my family of four, but together? I could make this work. We do not eat a lot…
Pan Fried Steak – What I Really Fed My Family for Dinner Last Night
Let me clear something up. This is not what I served my family last night for dinner. I don’t have a picture of what they actually ate because we went to the local fruit stand after my son finished Lego Robotics last night and picked out our Halloween pumpkins. While we were there we picked…
Paula Deen’s Apple Bundt Cake- My 400th Post
Wow, 400 posts. I have been watching the number of posts add up to this closely. On Chinese New Year, January 24, 2012, I started my game of trying to make a different meal each week night for one year. About 2 3/4 years later I am still working on this. I took two big…
Slow Cooker Cheesy Bacon Hamburgers – A Perfect Game Day Dish
This is probably the most unhealthy dish I have made for my family in quite a while. But, sometimes that is okay. I don’t know if you can tell but there are carrots on the plate and I served it with a side salad to make myself feel it better. I hate the Mommy Guilt…
