This is a horrible picture of a really delicious dish. I wish you could have smelled our house while this was cooking. Both kids came into the house and asked what we were having for dinner. They were both excited when I told them. Verdict: This dish has tons of flavor. The moment I bit…

Chicken St. George
We have been on vacation for the past two weeks and just arrived home last night. It was a beautiful two weeks with only 1 1/2 days of rain and temperatures in my favorite area of 70 to 75 degrees just about every day. Sunshine was plentiful and I felt amazing. This is what we…
Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Now that the weather has turned to the bitter cold of January (-15 windchill yesterday) my slow cooker is going to be front and center for dinners. Yesterday I took a pork roast from the freezer and began to ponder what I could do with it. I haven’t done a pulled pork sandwich yet so…
Aunt Amy & Uncle Mike’s Texas Caviar
When I am entertaining friends and family I like to have things that I can make ahead and then pull out at the last-minute before guests arrive. I don’t want to be in the kitchen all night serving and baking. That’s why I love having a variety of dips on hand so that I only…
Roasted Balsamic Brussel Sprouts
Only one person in my family really loves Brussels Sprouts. I almost never made them because they usually go to waste. So, I decided this Thanksgiving to try to find a way to cook Brussels Sprouts so that everyone would eat them. Verdict: This was okay. They were not the most favorite side dish but…
Chicken with Rosemary Sauce
So, we ate dinner last night at 9:15 pm. I convinced my children we were eating like Europeans. I don’t know why it was so late but at least we finally all sat down at the table together. This is not a great picture of the meal. It was really dark by the time we…
Grilled Marinated Chicken
One of the best ways I have found to save money (I love my Disney trips and need to save for them) is to try and buy all my staple grocery products when they are on sale. Most sales happen every 4-6 weeks so when I find items such as chicken thighs or chicken drumsticks…
Birthdays – German Dinner
It’s not every day you turn 14! The only time of year that I intentionally repeat dinners is on birthdays. In our house you are allowed to choose whatever you want for dinner on your birthday. My son chose pasta and meatballs last month. This month my daughter wanted a German dinner. Specifically, German potato…
Balsamic Glazed Salmon
We are trying to keep life as normal as possible for our family as we are awaiting the phone call that we need to head back home for my mother-in-law’s funeral. The children are under a great deal of stress not knowing what is happening day-to-day so we are trying to do as much as…
Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken
I realized as I looked through my Pinterest account for dinner inspirations that most of my pins lately have been Chinese/Asian influenced dishes. I think because they are usually fairly simple to prepare and I can add vegetables of my choosing as a side I am drawn to them. This Baked Sweet and Sour Chicken…
Slow Cooker Smothered Boneless Pork Chops
We all eat dinner together just about every night. Four to five nights each week we eat at the table and then the other two are usually our “To-Go” meals in the car. I am trying to instill good table manners such as please, thank you, please pass the … , use your fork and…
Slow Cooker Balsamic Drunken Chicken
It is tax season in our house. That means that my other half is gone from 7 am to about 10 or 11 pm just about every day, including most weekends. Life goes on. There are still lessons for the kids, school meetings and parties, etc…. But, towards the end of this 3 month…
