Zuchinni Ribbons with Sauce
September 11th. I will never forget my feelings and memory on that day. I had watched the Columbine High School shootings on television and thought then that nothing worse could happen. How wrong I was. My daughter was about 16 months old and was in the living room playing in the sunlight trying to grab…
German Burgers
My family loves German food and I am always looking for new burger toppings and ways to make them. How about combining two of our favorites? German food and Burgers? Yes! Verdict: The flavor of these were amazing. The mixture of ground pork and beef with the caraway seeds added a great flavor and tons…
Blueberry French Toast Casserole
My daughter has been holding her breath hoping that the governor would open gyms back up and her dance teacher would announce the studio is open so she could go to dance class again. They had been dancing on Zoom but it is just not the same. She actually has a chance to Feis soon…
Fiesta Chicken Casserole
We are entering the season of pumpkin spice, apple cider, slow cookers, and hearty casseroles. I love fall. Big fluffy sweatshirts, cool nights, and warming comfort foods are everywhere.

BBQ Rub Pork Chops
We went down to the beach the other night to watch the sunset. My favorite part of the night here is that at sunset they play “Taps” up on the bluff. Everyone stops and goes silent. It is the most amazing thing to see and hear. There are people that come here on vacation and…
Chicken Cordon Bleu Sliders
We are still waiting for Covid test results. I think it was easier waiting for our children to be born than it is waiting for these test results. At least then we had the anticipation of something good coming. Right now we are in kind of this limbo. Can we go get groceries on Thursday?…
Amazing Grilled BBQ Meatloaf
So my daughter had her Covid test on Friday. We still have not heard anything as of the time I writing this. I think the waiting is the worst part for her. Every yawn, twinge, or sniffle carries the thought of is this the first sign of getting sick? We are still quarantined until the…
