Hi All! I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please share my blog post or any of my blog posts? I normally do not focus on follower counts or likes but I noticed I am 20 followers away from 4,000. I would love to see my little blog over that. Leave me…

Tuscan Chicken (Marry Me Chicken)
My son made this dish on his own with my just giving him a few guidelines. He learned a lot from this dish. Like to have your spices ready to go before you turn the pan on so the olive oil doesn’t burn. Yes, he started over again. But, in the end he did a…
Hamburgers with Goat Cheese, and Caramelized Onions with Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
Are you like us trying to eek out the last few weeks of being able to grill? We are having some extra cool nights and I know there are people that grill year round in Michigan but we are not them. We usual stop around the beginning of October when it is too cold to…
Kielbasa, Rice, and Broccoli Skillet Dinner
Happy Labor Day! School is starting tomorrow. We are spending the day getting ready and having a small family picnic. The weather the last few days has been cool but of course the weather predicted for the first day of school? High 80s! At least it is not rain predicted like usual. So, we are…
Buffalo Chicken Dip
Some nights we have an appetizer dinner. Little bites can be fun and a super simple dinner if you make things “semi-homemade.” This dip can be made with slow cooker chicken, or leftover chicken, or a shredded rotisserie chicken from the grocery store on a busy day. No matter the chicken you use it is…
Slow Roasted Pork Loin
One of the skills I continually work with my kids on is cooking. Last night when I asked my son to put the pork loin in to cook I got a bit of the eye-roll. Not completely because I cut that one off quick. But, when I told him what he had to do to…
Chicken Macaroni and Cheese Parmesan
This is another great back to school casserole. This is a Semi Homemade dish that you can cut down on the prep time by using jarred sauce and frozen chicken nuggets. Now, you can definitely use your own sauce and cooked chicken breast but I liked the easy open and pour method too. The addition…
Spicy Pork Ramen Noodles
Lots of kids across the south and some in the lower Midwest seem to be heading back to school. This is my second least favorite time of year only to New Year’s Eve. I am very sensitive to the passage of time and reflection on life during these times. It has been only about 2/3…
Orzo, Goat Cheese, and Craisin Salad
Back to school time is tough not only for me but for my kids. They both start feeling a bit anxious before school starts. Thought they have been through this many times now it always surprises us when they start to get moody and acting out a bit two – four weeks before school starts….
Cheesy Burgers with Balsamic Onions
Still grilling. Hopefully, we will be doing this well into October. It gets harder after that with rain and snow. So each time we grill I am looking for ways to make things new and different. I ran across this cheese sauce and grilled onions in a magazine. It looked delicious but you know I…
Back to School: The Passage of Time
This is one of my favorite quotes. It is not about making memories it is about having fun and laughing and when we look back those will be the memories. I am in a bit of a strange place right now. This is not a recipe post. This is about me post. Life has a…
Grilled Chicken Cordon Bleu
We have found that grilling for us really cuts down on the amount of time it takes to get dinner on the table. I try to have the meat pounded down and marinating (if necessary) early in the morning so that by the time we are all home for dinner it is putting together a…
