Years ago, I used to make gelatin poke cakes for different occasions. They were one of Hubby’s favorite desserts. Then I stopped making them for some reason. Hubby’s birthday was last week. I decided to make a gelatin poke cake for his birthday cake. Wee One helped me make the cake. He also got to chooseContinue reading “Gelatin Poke Cake”

Menu Plan Monday – September 28
This week I am going to use the crock pot for our dinners. I have been busy with work and have been staying later then usual. The result is we haven’t been eating homemade meals. On Saturday morning, the Wee One and I went shopping. We got all the meat and other ingredients for theContinue reading “Menu Plan Monday – September 28”
Weekly Ramblings – September 26, 2015
This has been an odd week for me cooking wise. Sunday – I cooked a great dinner for Hubby’s birthday. Monday – I had a training after work so I grabbed food on the way home. I was STARVED. The rest of the family ate leftovers. Tuesday – We had a Boy Scout potluckContinue reading “Weekly Ramblings – September 26, 2015”
Easy Peasy Cheesy Garlic Bread
When we eat pasta dishes at our house, three of us enjoy eating garlic bread with our dinner. The Wee One refuses to eat garlic bread. That means extra garlic bread for the rest of us. The other day I decided to make us garlic bread using hoagie buns from Sam’s Club. The result wasContinue reading “Easy Peasy Cheesy Garlic Bread”
Creamy Tomato Soup
Sometimes I get a craving for the classic combo of grilled cheese and tomato soup. I really don’t like condensed tomato soup unless I doctor it up with basil. So when I had the craving for it, I decided to try making a homemade version of the soup. It ended up being yummy! This recipeContinue reading “Creamy Tomato Soup”
Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal
Until a few years ago, breakfast was not a favorite meal of mine. I almost never ate breakfast which is not a good habit to get into. Then I made a resolution in 2013, to eat breakfast every day. I did 98% of the time but a few times I forgot to – usually ifContinue reading “Applesauce Overnight Oatmeal”
Random Ramblings
This blog has been around for five years (June 2010). However, I stopped writing on it in Feb. 2014. I tried to pick it up on the blogger platform and did until August 2014 but then just stopped. Now I’ve decided to restart the blog. I need ideas of what topics to write about. IfContinue reading “Random Ramblings”
Hamburger Patties
Since Hubby needs to be out the door soon after I get home, quick meals are important. Hamburgers are one meal that can be put on the table quickly. Cook up some fries with it or serve some potato chips to serve with the hamburgers. Add some raw veggies and you have a complete meal.Continue reading “Hamburger Patties”
Homemade Thousand Island Sandwich Spread
When I was in college back in the 1990’s, I worked at McDonald’s. I usually worked at the front counter, front drive-thru, or back drive through. Hubby knew I was someone special because I would take an order, take money, and be eating my dinner in the office next to the drive-thru all at theContinue reading “Homemade Thousand Island Sandwich Spread”
One Pan Pork Chop Dinner
This is an easy meal to impress your guests with. On Sundays, we usually eat dinner with my mother-in-law. It’s a tradition that started when Hubby and I were just married. My father-in-law usually made the dinner. When he died, we continued the tradition. Sometimes I make the dinner. Other times my mother-in-law makes theContinue reading “One Pan Pork Chop Dinner”
