These are one of our favorite side dishes that I have been making for almost 25 years. The kids love the crispy potato crunch and I love how easy they are to make. The hardest part is slicing the potatoes thin enough to be super crispy but if you have a mandoline that makes it…

Christmas Cookies: Quaker Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
Reblogged from 2016: These cookies are a favorite in our house. I use the recipe for Quaker’s Best Oatmeal Cookies from Quaker Oats.com just like my mother used to make them off the back of the oatmeal box. I almost never bake but when I do I want a recipe I know that will turn…

Reblogged from 2018: It’s finally time for me to crank up the Christmas songs and start getting ready for Christmas! I love the holiday season and try to stretch it out as long as possible. I freeze lots of cookies to take to my family when we visit and to parties. My plan this year…
Baked Potato Chips
Potatoes are on sale this week so we are eating potatoes every night. Secret to having my kids not complain is making them differently so they don’t even realize they are eating potatoes again.

Sour Cream Pork Chops
Pork chops were super cheap a few weeks ago, $.99/lb, so you know I bought 10-15 lbs for the month. Now it is time to start cooking them! I remembered a recipe that I made a few weeks ago that I thought would work perfectly with pork instead of chicken. The recipe was simple so…
Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Verde
This is a great use for leftover chicken. I would recommend doubling the chicken when you are cooking it one night to have leftovers for this meal. I love to cook meat once and have 2 meals! Also, several of the recipes I have in my stash contain canned cream of … soup. I try…
