Every last Saturday of the month I gather my top 3-5 recipes from the month. Sometimes they are older recipes that people have come back to look for or new ones that I have made during the month. This month definitely had a comfort food feel about it and my top recipes are definite comfort…

Pork Medallions Piccata
We are still working our way through the freezer in “No Buy January.” That means quite a few larger cuts of meat that I am finding. I am cutting them down to make smaller cuts such as the pork loin that I bought on sale a month or two ago for $1.59 a pound is…
Barbecue Hawaiian Pizza
The ham is going away. I have used three meals from it – ham and baked potatoes, ham and cheese hashbrown casserole, and now barbecue Hawaiian pizza. My family isn’t tired of it because each dish has highlighted a different flavor and is something completely different. But, before they do tire of the ham I…
Sunday Cinnamon Rolls
Why do I call these Sunday Cinnamon Rolls? Because that is the day we always make them on! We don’t often have a lazy Sunday morning to make these but a couple of times a year we spend the couple of hours to make the dough, roll it out, make the filling, bake the rolls….
Ham and Cheese Hashbrown Casserole
It is not often I use canned cream of anything soups. Then tend to look and smell funny to my children so I usually make my own cream sauce from butter, flour, and cream or half and half. But, we were cleaning the pantry up and I had two cans of cream of potato soup…
Teriyaki Chicken Bowl with Roasted Vegetables
How easy is this dish? Both of my children worked on dinner together and there was almost no arguing! Really! My son made the rice and the sauce while my daughter put the vegetables on to roast and cooked the chicken. While my daughter was serving my son put out water and toppings such as…
No Buy January!
So, we are one week from the end of our No Buy January! If you haven’t done this before you may want to consider giving it a try. Other than some fresh produce, dairy, and a few staples you eat out of your freezer and pantry. This uses up all those bits and pieces that…
Old Fashioned Snickerdoodles
I am not much of a baker at all. I love Christmas cookies and an occassional cake but it is the rest of my family who will make cookies or pies if they really want a treat. My partner has been wanting to make these cookies for about 20 years now. We never seemed to…
Pierogies with Caramelized Onions or What to Make on a Night You Don’t Really Want to Make Dinner
Yes, there are nights that either my food plan fails me or we just don’t want to cook. We all have those days and to say we don’t would be ludicrous. There are certain things I try to have on hand for those nights I really don’t want to cook. When I ask others what…
Cheeseburgers on Homemade Pretzel Rolls
Sometimes my family just wants plain old cheese burgers. I understand. They look at me and ask for no baby greens, diced jalapeno, cream sauces, or other weird ingredients on top. So, I made a point of making plain old cheese burgers. Of course I had to put them on pretzel rolls but still… Verdict:…
Million Dollar Spaghetti
This recipe has been all over Pinterest and Facebook for years. I have always resisted trying it or making a twist on it because it is so popular. I am an old-fashioned, easy, home cook. I am not about the popular. Although, I have wanted an Insta Pot to try but we are not quite…
Hot Chicken Salad Sandwich Sliders (on Hawaiian Rolls)
More of these little sandwiches. They are so versatile you can fill them with almost anything you can think of to get tons of different meals or hearty appetizers for a party. These can also be made with cold chicken salad but with the cold weather it seemed much nicer to me to have a…
