I saved this recipe for Hungarian Sausage Stew with Ale (click for link to original recipe) from the July 2012 issue of Food & Wine magazine . I rarely make anything from this magazine although it is one of my favorites to read. I always thought the recipes sounded too difficult for a home-cook like myself. Every…

Hot Ham and Cheese Sliders on Hawaiian Rolls
A sure way to tell that summer is on the way in these parts? The fountains are back on! Of course it has been in the 40s and low 50s and I don’t think many people are going to be running through them very soon but they are on and that means tourists are on…
Orange Ground Turkey Noodle Bowls
As we get closer to the end of the school year time for meals is getting shorter and shorter. I have to be super organized and have our meals planned out to avoid picking up a pizza or ordering in Chinese food. Our menu for the next week includes: Tuesday: Slow Cooker Roasted Garlic and…
Rainbow Waffles
My daughter had her friends over the other night for a sleepover. My daughter loves rainbows, sparkles and anything “pretty.” When she started talking about having the girls over I remembered the Duff Goldman rainbow cupcakes I made for a party year. (click for link to original post) I thought I could use a similar…
Smoked Sausage and Bean Slow Cooker Soup
Another slow cooker day! I am trying to get my freezer cleaned out again this month as two weekends away and one birthday already this month have put a dent in our cash flow. Tonight is my daughter’s birthday party and next week is her actual birthday. So, we are trying to limit our spending…
It’s an Irish Weekend
My daughter and I are spending the weekend in Wisconsin so she can Feis today and tomorrow. It’s been fun so far. She got a new wig and a new crown. That is a big deal for her. She has always worn the headpiece that came with her dress but yesterday they had her try…
Kotopoulo Skorthato (Lemon Garlic Chicken) and a Power Outage
I was in a meeting at 5:55 pm when I received a text from home. It is storming out and we have no power. Ugh. There goes all my plans out the window. There were 1,200 people without power in our area. So, when I got home at 7:00 pm I did the best thing…
Steak Pitas with My Menu Plan for the Week
Do you menu plan? I never used to but now I cannot live without it. I plan for about 1 month because we get paid once a month and I do my stock-up shopping then. But, if one week or two weeks may work better for you, give it a try. My menu for the…
Shrimp and Pasta with Garlic Butter Sauce
This is our go-to meal when time is tight and I have put off making dinner so long that most of my options are no longer an option because we would be eating dinner at 11:00 pm. Yes, there are nights even I don’t want to cook! I always have a few pounds of frozen…
Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sliders
My family is big on flavor. They like spicy, bold, and even vinegary flavors. It doesn’t matter as long as it has lots of great flavors going on. This meal fit the bill perfectly. As we were shopping for rolls and crumbly blue cheese my daughter picked up two packages of blue cheese. I told her…
Ranch Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Gravy (No Canned Soups)
I love my slow cooker but I don’t like that many recipes call for canned soups. I don’t like the flavors and they are so icky to me. So, I have a recipe I use instead of any canned soups it is so simple even my daughter, who helped make dinner last night, said, “If…
Baked Turkey Sloppy Joe Egg Rolls
So Feis (Irish dance competition) season has officially started for us. We attended the Dayton Feis in Dayton, Ohio. This was the first time for us attending this Feis. It was in a large airport exposition warehouse which meant there was lots of room and it didn’t feel crowded at all. We didn’t get to…
