Getting ready for football games this weekend? We love football and appetizers in our house. I try to change them up each week adding one or two new ones to our usual staples of dips and wings. When I read about the Sausage Balls I was a bit skeptical. I love sausage but Bisquick and…

Pesto Mac & Cheese with Chicken
Of all the summer/early fall favorite flavors I have to say basil pesto is one of my favorite. This is one of my newly acquired tastes. There are many foods I never tried until I was an adult. Sour cream, broccoli, pesto, and grape leaves to name a few. I love them all now, but…
Traditional Macaroni and Cheese
When I was a child my mother would make homemade macaroni and cheese a few times a month. We almost never had boxed macaroni and cheese until I was in high school. To me, macaroni and cheese was always a custard like dish unless it came from a box and then it was liquidy. I…
Cake Mix Cinnamon Bundt Cake – Back to School Breakfast
When we were kids if we wanted a sweet treat we had to bake it. If you wanted cookies, cake or pie it was up to you to make it. By the time I was 12 or 13 I had several Betty Crocker recipes committed to memory. We VERY rarely used cake or brownie mixes….
Grilled Pizza Margherita with Balsamic Reduction Drizzle
I have some awesome news. If you get the Community Table in your Sunday newspaper one of my recipes should be in it either this week or next. I just got word that the pictures and layout are done and ready to print! It is a simple Pierogi and Chicken Sausage casserole (click for link to…
Blueberry Angel Food Cake
Dessert for dinner. Yes, this is really what we ate for dinner. Our house air conditioner stopped working sometime yesterday and when we arrived home it was almost 80 degrees in the house. We turned the air down, checked the filters, turned it off and on and nothing. Ugh. So, it was too late to…
On the Road Again, IV
After a wonderful visit in Boston we started the trek home. Along the way we stopped to visit college friends we haven’t seen in a few years. It is always great to reconnect with everyone. These poor people had to listen to all our stories as they were the first people we had really talked…
Letting Go, Bit by Bit
This was my living room on Monday evening. Normally I would NEVER take a photo like this let alone post it on the internet. But, this is a significant piece in our life right now. Our goals in raising our children have always been that by the time they left our house they would be…
Eggplant Parmesan
School and my daughter’s Irish dance recital are now finally over. All of the school year obligations, except for my son’s cello recital on Tuesday are done! There was a huge sigh of relief in my house last night. These are most of the students from the dance school my daughter attends. It was a…
Roasted Garlic and Potato Slow Cooker Soup
This was one of those days that we needed to have dinner available at several different times for everyone. You know I love my slow cooker for nights like this. Everyone can serve themselves and with a green side salad and a slice of bread this was a meal that was perfect for nights like…
Fighting the Breakfast Rush – Banana Muffins
Today my daughter turns 16! Sixteen, it seems impossible. Everyone told me, “Enjoy it all time will fly past you and before you know it they are grown.” I am thanking God that I have enjoyed each and every moment. Oh, they weren’t always easy moments but from the beginning when she was very sick and…
Cheesy Tater Tot Casserole
Wednesdays are one of the few days that we actually eat dinner at a normal time. We are late eaters. We like to have dinner together so we are sitting down to dinner any time from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. But, Wednesdays are generally a bit earlier as no one has anything after 6:00…
