Pineapple Chicken
We did a small grocery shop this past weekend for some meat and essentials rather than our usual big monthly shop. We have some expenses coming up this month that we wanted to be sure we had enough in reserves to pay for. But, with boneless, skinless chicken breasts for $1.59 a pound? Couldn’t pass…
Seafood Salad
Let’s get this out-of-the-way first. I grew up with “imitation” crab meat. I don’t think I ever tasted real crab or lobster until I was well into my 20s. It was just what we had. Now, I know there is this thing about real crab versus imitation crab. I get it. Real crab is delicious….
Meal 2 – Chicken, Bacon, Ranch Pizza
So, we started this meal yesterday with Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Nuggets (click for link to post). I made an extra pound of chicken nuggets so that I could have leftovers for dinner tonight. I am personally NOT a fan of leftovers but if I can make them into something completely new I am fine…
Meal 1 – Baked Chicken Strips
Even though I make many “different” meals for my family they still want “kid” food once in a while. I am not a believer in that there are kids foods and adult foods. Kids menus and foods began back in the 1920s because prior to that time most parents dined out without children. Starting in…
Porcupine Meatballs with Gravy
Getting down to the end of the month and grocery day is right around the corner! I do one big shop a month so we are in the last week before stock up day. Trying to use those little last pieces of meat in the freezer and wanting to stretch them farther I added cooked…
Slow Cooker White Turkey Chili
If you have read my blog before you know I am all about using every little last piece of something we have in our freezer, pantry and refrigerator before it spoils. That means I have to rotate my pantry shelves from time to time. When putting away your groceries in your pantry stock them like…
Shish Taouk
When I read this recipe for Shish Taouk from White House Red Door (click for link to original recipe) I knew I was going to make this recipe soon! We love Mediterranean food and I was excited to try this. There is a little Mediterranean restaurant near our house and we love to order new foods to…
Mexican Cornbread
We are coming to the end of January. In our house that means we are trying to use up all the odds and ends in our freezer and pantry. There was a sale on ground beef the other day so I bought 20 pounds to freeze. But, before it headed to the freezer I took…
Baked Pesto Salmon – Update on Those Resolutions
As I mentioned before I chose JOY as the word to guide my decisions and intentions this year rather than make regular New Year resolutions. I really have been trying to keep this word in front of me to help me at those moments I feel overwhelmed or uncertain. It doesn’t mean I walk around…
Slow Cooker Maple-Stone Ground Mustard Pork Loin
Pork and chicken breasts have been on sale here during the month of January so you know I have a freezer full of pork loin, chops and chicken breasts portioned into cubes, strips and whole breasts to use in all sorts of dishes. Remember if you get pork loins you don’t need to keep the…
Taco Braid – When Life Happens
Confession time. Life happens. You can have the perfect plans and still something can go wrong. Take dinner for example. You have your menu planned, you have the meat defrosting in the refrigerator or cooking in the slow cooker. Then life happens. The power goes out late in the afternoon so the meal in your slow…
