  • Spaghetti Pie

    Sometimes you have good meals.  There are times you have so-so meals.  And then there are the times when you hit it out of the ballpark.  Tonight was one of those nights.  My hubby could not stop talking about our dinner tonight and how good it was. While planning our January meals, I found this…

  • Menu Plan Monday ~ Week of January 10, 2011

    Last week we did not get to the crockpot beef hash.  It was a weird week with me going back to work after winter break.  On Wednesday, I was feeling run down, so I opted to go to a place called Dreamie Weenie and get a hot dog dinner instead of cooking anything when I…

  • Buttermilk Biscuits

    I made these for our family’s New Year’s Dinner. Everyone loved them because they were tasty. Tonight I was asked to bring the bread for our Sunday dinner. I was torn between making Easy Rolls, bread machine rolls (I haven’t posted this yet), or buttermilk biscuits. I let the Wee One and the Imaginative One…

  • Spanish Rice

    We had tacos for supper. For a side dish, I made Spanish rice. The recipe I used was easy recipe to follow. It was also delicious. Which is a great combo! My hubby was a little skeptical when he saw the rice. He typically loves rice but is not a big fan of the spices…

  • Crockpot bbq ribs

    When it’s a work day, I often want easy meals because I need to have dinner soon after I get home before hubby goes to work.  This recipe is super easy because it cooks while I’m at work.  The smells that meet me at the door are divine and make my stomach rumble in anticipation…

  • Menu Plan Monday ~ Week of January 3, 2011

    Even though I did not post my menu plans for the last few weeks, we did have a menu plan.  Since I am back at work after a break, I need to post the week’s menu plan to keep me organized. Monday – crockpot ribs, makeover mac and cheese, green beans with onions and bacon, rolls  Tuesday…

  • Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

    Today I made chili. Cornbread is the best starch to have with chili. I decided to jazz up the cornbread by using cheddar cheese. This took them from ordinary to extraordinary! The best part is that you take advantage of a convenience item – a cornbread muffin mix. Cheddar Cornbread Muffins Stars of the recipe: Steps:…

  • Rolo turtles

    When I saw the “recipe” for these, I decided I needed to try to make them because they looked so easy and delicious.  Boy, am I glad I did.  They turned out super yummy, and they are an easy enough recipe that even the boys can help me with making them.  The other positive thing…
