Shepherd’s Pie with Cheesy Tater Tot Topping
Working the remnants of my refrigerator and freezer to get as many meals out of them as possible. We are getting down to the bottom of the meat freezer and have a bunch of single items in the regular freezer. I saw this idea on a blog post a week or so ago and thought…
Tater Tot Breakfast Casserole
We were working with one car this past week. In a larger city it wouldn’t be so bad. Buses, taxis, even friends would be able to help us. But after our car was towed Monday night were still waiting for them to fix/replace the fuel pump on Friday. Really, it takes this long? But, in…
Cowboy Casserole II
So, this dinner was supposed to be entirely different. Well, it was supposed to be a Cowboy Lasagna like at Peppermint Mocha Mama.blogspot.com. The problem was I started reading the reviews.

Manwhich Casserole
So during the school year we travel an hour, each way, to dance classes 3 days a week. That means after school we immediately get in a car and head out. Even now during the summer we are still heading out 2 days a week. So, I need meals that are quick, easy and can…

So this was definitely a I am really not too sure what I am making but our refrigerator contents are getting low and all I have is ground beef, meal. My children do not like plain old hamburgers or cheeseburgers and I was running out of time to get dinner on the table. Then the…
Tater Tot Taco Casserole
So lately dinner has been taking a “surprise” meat, I didn’t label anything in the freezer (oops) and we are in the process of cleaning out the freezer and pantry by eating only from them for a few weeks, no new groceries except for fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and milk; then opening it the next…
