We are back to “real” life. By now most of you have heard about the shooting in the Michigan courthouse yesterday. That was about a mile from our home. We live in this little area we laughingly call “Mayberry.” Yes, bad things happen here just like every other place around the world. But, the difference…

Monterey Chicken Skillet Bites
I am always looking for simple dinner ideas. Now, I am a bit picky about my simple dinners. I prefer they not have canned soups, packaged spice mixes and can be made with minimal pans and dishes. I do make exceptions for each of these on occasion but for the most part I try stick…
Zesty Cajun Pasta
During the summer and most of the winter we don’t eat dinner until at least 8:00 pm. By then, in the summer, if it is warm the sun is getting low in the sky and we are just getting hungry. Since the sun doesn’t set here until well after 9:00 pm these days it works…
Texas Hash
Our children are at camp right now where they are eating a years worth of hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken patties and sloppy joes. Yes, these are things I serve once in awhile but my children are so excited to eat “kid” food for 12 days. They both told me they love my cooking but sometimes…

Mediterranean Chicken Skillet
Before the holidays things seem to get so hectic. We are trying to fit 1,000 things into the space of 250. I am always searching for tasty, easy meals that I can get on the table quickly and that my family will actually eat. I tried this meal the other night and it was on…
Stove-Top Tamale Pie Skillet Dinner
School starts next week and the weather has definitely been cooler here lately. I sat looking out the window before dinner last night and noticed that the leaves of the Elm tree outside our house are just starting to turn. I can’t believe that the kids have been on summer vacation for 11 weeks. As…
Pan Fried Pork Steaks
Things are finally starting to slow down here. School will start a month from today. Boo! I love having my kids home for the summer. This is the first time they have had 12 weeks off for summer vacation. Usually we get about 7-8 but since we moved and the school year here is shorter…
