*This is NOT a sponsored post. I bought the sausages with my own money and these are my own thoughts and opinions and should be interpreted as such. When I was grocery shopping a few weeks ago I saw these McCormick Grill Mates Smoked Sausages on sale. My kids LOVE Montreal Steak seasoning on just…

Slow Cooker Simple Apple Chicken
Yesterday I did not post anything on my blog which is unusual for me. Something had to give and yesterday it was my blog. Everything is good but the day can only hold so many things. When I looked back over the last 11 weeks I realized I had only missed posting 6 days. Not…
Clinton Kelly Inspired Chicken Thigh Osso Buco
I can tell winter is on its way in when I see the sand/snow fences up at the beach. This is always a very sad sight for me because I know what is coming far too soon. The past two Halloween nights we have had snow or cold, icy rain. With Halloween only 3 weeks…
Ravioli with Spinach Pesto and Alfredo Sauce
One thing you may not know about me is that I LOVE Disney World. In fact I even have had another blog “Earning My Disney PhD” that I started in 2009. That blog has been inactive for awhile as I started a Disney page on this blog so I could keep everything together. To niche…
Mediterranean Chicken and Rice Bake
Mediterranean flavors are one of my family’s favorite flavors. The brightness of the lemon, the tang of the garlic and the spiciness of the oregano all combined together are delicious. I am generally not a fan of drumsticks and thighs but our supermarket had them on sale recently for $.49 a pound. I bought about…
Creamy Swiss Chicken
So I have finally decided to start doing something just for me. I joined a handbell choir. I have never played handbells before. It has been interesting. I realized I was being very hard on myself because I had a music degree I should be able to go in and pick this up like nothing….
What is Your Song?
Do you and your spouse, girlfriend, boyfriend have a song? This has been our song for as long as I can remember. I have always loved the third verse and as we are coming into the time in our life where we are older and our kids are getting bigger it seems even more poignant….
Chicken & Cheese Slow Cooker Tacquitos
I am tired. We are coming up on the end of September and I am exhausted already. How am I going to make it to June? We had my son’s annual Individualized Education Plan (IEP) meeting this week. I was a bit concerned about it as they are going to want to dismiss him from…
Bacon Barbecue Hot Dogs with Cheddar Cheese or Some Days are Just Like This
I thought my carefully planned system failed me. This dinner was supposed to be chicken breasts. It is obviously not chicken breasts. I had a huge package of chicken breasts in the refrigerator that I bought the other day. I asked my son to go get the chicken from the fridge and when he opened…
Unstuffed Pepper Casserole – Making Two Meals at Once
So, yesterday I said I cooked all the meat for two dinners. I took one half of the ground beef and Italian sausage mixture and I used it to make Pizza Sloppy Joes (click for link to recipe). While that was cooking that meal I made an Unstuffed Pepper Casserole. It was great because when we…
Pizza Sloppy Joes
You know I am all about saving time making dinners. This was one of those times when I could cook all the meat at once and make two meals out of it. The first one was the Pizza Sloppy Joes and the second meal was an Unstuffed Pepper Casserole. It was great to have two…
The Piano Guys – Our Weekend Treat
We went to see a concert with the Piano Guys the other night. I didn’t really know what to expect. I had heard the kids play a few of their songs on Youtube but didn’t really know what to expect. They had a cellist and my son plays the cello. Then a friend was getting…
