Another simple way to add lots of veggies to my dinners is with Asian inspired dishes. I love that I can mix up the recipe I found for Chicken Stir Fry from Hoosier Family Love.com and have it ready fairly quickly. The most strenuous part of the recipe is chopping the vegetables. For my heartier…

Chicken Fried Rice
This is my new wok that I got for Christmas. I LOVE IT! Yes, I am shouting. I also have a large skillet by the same company. I love that I can take it from stove top to oven. It has a ceramic base that is easy to keep clean and the food doesn’t stick….
Slow Cooker Pork and Tomato Stew
This is another attempt to add more vegetables to our meals. I took out pork loin boneless chops the other day and when I went to search for a recipe nothing was particularly inspiring to me. That my children will tell you is dangerous as it means I will start creating something on my own….
Italian Sausage with Roasted Balsamic Vegetables
With Veteran’s Day and then a SNOW DAY (yes, a real snow day) now behind us I can finally get back to posting. It is hard to write with my children around. That is mostly my fault because I love having them home so I tend to want to spend all my time with them….
Confetti Macaroni and Cheese
After a long weekend of being sick and not being able to tolerate any solids I am at least back to cooking. Not eating but cooking. This was a dish that my children helped create because we needed to get everything ready to go to dance class and I was trying to figure out how…
Caramelized Green Beans
I hate vegetables. There I said it. I admit it. I eat them as quickly as I possibly can at the beginning of my meal to show my kids that even Mommy eats her vegetables. But, UGH! I hate the taste. Until this recipe. It is delicious. I could eat a whole pan of these…
Savory Chicken Pot Pie
I started with a basic recipe for Chicken Pot Pie from Familycircle.com/pot pie. Of course this is not what I really made. Cooking spray 1-1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/4-inch chunks 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 med. chopped onion 2 …
Not so General Tsao’s Chicken
This dinner was a disaster from the start. I had a meeting on the night the dinner was to be cooked so I left instructions to follow the recipe on allrecipes.com for General Tsao’s Chicken. Well my better (cough, cough) half could not find the recipe so they cooked the chicken for me in…
Meatloaf
Today’s meatloaf is my own version of a classic meatloaf recipe. I used quite a few vegetables and it was extremely moist. Ingredients 15 baby carrots, coarsely chopped 2 ribs celery, coarsely chopped 1/2 onion, coarsely chopped (if desired) 1/2 green bell pepper, coarsely chopped 1 cup of mushrooms, coarsely chopped 2 teaspoons of minced…
Moo Goo Gai Pan – Chinese New Year
The first day of our new game was a rousing success. To celebrate the Chinese New Year I found a recipe for Moo Goo Gai Pan at Allrecipes.com. The recipe itself was fairly simple to make: Ingredients 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 2 cups chopped broccoli florets 1 (8 ounce) can…
